She is a very tall as well as skinny person anyway and only gained like not even 8 kg in total, still doctors told her it would have been too much. In the end there were lots of complications because of her not eating even though she was hungry. A friend of her got her a skype appointment with a German doctor, afterwards she finally started eating, but it was hard to convince her, since all the Japanse doctors told her not to gain any weight at all if possible.

Wow! How in the world can they reason for that? Most women loose up to 10 kg within few hours of giving birth. Just the baby, placenta etc. is at least 5 kg. Women will get out underweight on the other side?!
I put on 25 kg in my pregnancy, and I was also around 10-15 kg overweight before getting pregnant, and no English or Danish doctor even mentioned it 😂
