How I GAINED Almost 10KG After Giving Birth! *Very Emotional*

[@phumelelehsikhosanah847]

Can't wait for Steph to have questions about Hungani's personal Post partum journey. Few content is provided on men's experiences in this regard 💚

[@faithmakhubu8865]

The level of respect Hungani shows towards Steph, just the intently listening🙌 Thanks for sharing Stephanie.🙂

[@chicecil7240]

Childbirth takes everything from a woman. It’s not a physical act but mental. God bless all mothers. 😊❤

[@NdobeKholofelo]

You guys are so relevant to young couples and we love listening to you. Big ups

[@elizabethletsoso2558]

Big up indeed ❤️

[@oluhleqokweni7105]

The way Hungani respects Steph is out of this world ❤️....I'm sending love n light to you Steph, I also gave birth in Feb n I'm really struggling with weight loss..OMG my body seems to be struggling to gain an ounce instead I'm getting smaller n smaller n it is very frustrating on top of everything that comes with bieng a new mom.

[@LifeAndAngelica]

I love how attentive Hungani is when Steph speaks. Thank you for being open & vulnerable with us Steph(we respect your realness)sending you both love🫶

[@pakomagagane401]

Thank you Steph for sharing your PCOS story. I had a similar story where I was exercising and dieting but I kept gaining weight and the comments did a number on my mental health. But my gynecologist helped a lot. We don’t have enough info out there. I’m happy you are getting assistance and I’m glad Hungani is so supportive. ❤Love you guys

[@nokwazikunene8392]

I have never related to a video like I did to this one😢 Two years later and I only just discovered I have a hormonal imbalance also and I’ve been so depressed cause I’ve been training and trying to eat right. My gosh😢😢😢 This video feels like a hug for me ❤❤ Thank you Steph❤

[@Barista_Skills28]

The day i get married i will look at my wife just like Hungani❤He just can't stop looking at his wife which is one of the things I admire about this couple👌

[@sitshengisomabhena931]

Wish you two an everlasting relationship I love seeing you together since your days of acting

[@LungeloTakingUpSpace]

LOVE how Steph is just so open & vulnerable w us, ik it takes a lot of courage. Sending all my love to you, you really are an inspiration.

[@Tebogo.M]

Rooting for you Steph!❤️😊

[@nkepengmarumo3648]

Pregnancy, postpartum journey and weight gain makes me really emotional I am slowly recovering from all of that. The most depressing thing is when you know you putting in some work and not get expected results. Wish you all the best with your new journey

[@salumzansi]

Mmh I love your honesty about this. In terms of your partner are you getting the emotional support needed

[@Bozalabozu]

Mrs Ndlovu , thanks so much for 😢sharing your story and I’m not taking away from all the other hardships but, a stranger is exactly what it is . Because prior to my baby I was also on a weight loss, journey prior to my child and when I fell pregnant I was like calm I’ll just get back to working out, But my body isn’t responding the way it used to, and it’s a total mind fuck, working out like crazy and eating well but just gaining weight 😭😭😭😭has just defeated me. The reminders that you get from family which is so unnecessary irks me sooooo much and has been worse because me and my husband recently got married and the comments from family members is the worst. Thanks for calling them out. However thanks for sharing your journey, because at some point I was even taking pregnancy tests thinking I was pregnant again and hearing from someone else is so comforting. I pray your journey is blessed. Ghurl you’re looking so cute ☺️ but I hear you and feel you on this. It’s just so crazy coz I’m surrounded by mama’s who bounced back after surgery so I just felt like I was making excuses . But my body was really so foreign. Point is I’m grateful for your answer. I needed to hear it❤

[@motheowalerato701]

❤❤❤

[@florahbotshelo62]

It's the look Hungani gives to Steph.. He feels wat u going thru ND has ur back❤

[@audreytotheworld1922]

This was quite emotional but I'm also glad that Steph knows she isn't alone. I'm glad that she has also learnt to recognise and accept when she isn't feeling her greatest. This is something that most of us are struggling with and we will surely get motivated to keep going on the journey of self betterment and self acceptance. Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@nokulunganhlapho7489]

Stephanie we love you mommy hang in there ❤. It’s ok everything will be ok. Family, friends please be kind. We even get asked about marriage, kids, partner that’s family for you.

[@_claudia]

Steph is so gorgeous 😭😭😭

[@SIMPLYBASSIE]

Veeeeeeeery 😍

[@sitshengisomabhena931]

That weight will eventually go away without diet or exercise and to be honest you look great I see nothing wrong with you all the best

[@mbalentlemadlala7423]

you're amazing steph ! thank you for always sharing authentically and honestly - it's powerful xxxxx

[@roselineuiras8603]

Mrs Ndlovu always full of wisdom and inspiration. I love it.🌹🌹❤❤💙💙

[@tanyaradzwazaranyika5717]

I’ve been feeling like a stranger in my own body for a couple of months now. Im 24 and i suddenly got this crazy surge of really bad acne. Having gone through puberty with fairly good skin this was a hard hit on me emotionally. Steph spoke about the comments especially from family. Yooooohhhhh i dont think as people we fully comprehend just how much a small tiny comment affects the next person in a tremendous way. Im depressed. Ive been trying everything and anything and for every other person to come and state their opinion or their recommendations like you are just sitting there letting your skin be this disgusting is just unfair. Im sad. Im crying. Im 24 and all i want to do is stay in bed all day locked up so i dont have to see anyone who might make a comment. But life isn’t that kind. You have to get up each day and face your fears. Owwkkaayyy i just went on a full on rant 😂😂😂well not fully cz this is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@ckay-cleaningmynest3303]

My only daughter is turning 7 and I have not 'bounced' back😞 it's depressing, people are quick to label it as a 'lack of discipline' from my side but I am doing all the things-within the whole 80/20 thing💔 anyway I haven't gone to see a professional about it so thank you for sharing, I'm thinking I should consult and see where the issue is.

[@geraldinekwamboka402]

I really appreciate you being so honest about your PCOS journey. I recently got diagnosed with PCOS and I'm insulin resistant as well; so I can relate to the struggle with weight loss. You've made me feel less alone and I really hope that you'll make more videos about your journey(if you're comfortable, of course) That said, I'm wishing you all the best in your recovery journey!

[@sikhangelenkala3858]

On point questions Hungani and l like the answers from Steph too.

[@tshxxmx]

Solid chat mense. Both of you have got phenomenal heads on your shoulders.

[@mechellndlovu3198]

Somedays are better than others and that's fine

[@LebohangOlifant-el1uf]

Gosh Steph i know exactly how you feel, the thought of going to the shops and coming back with comments from people you know its a struggle🤞😩love you guys ❤

[@GeeThamae]

I agree with you Stephanie, marriage has it's own blessings. So I too don't believe in waiting to get your money right before you get married. Otherwise before you know it you're old and grey cos you wasted so much time looking to get those material things in place. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Ash-ge2xy]

Thanks for this, I had my daughter 3 years ago and I also have PCOS and it's really difficult and people have alot of comments on my weight and they have no idea what I'm going through. Thanks for being transparent ❤

[@mukololo_Lorna]

About weight loss/gain.. Girl i understand. Me and you both same WhatsApp group. Im doing everything, eating well and healthy, talking all precautions measure 😢but instead of losing im gaining. My mom told me uri is the heart and the blood. Im at a happy place emotionally and spiritually wich then affects ur physical person.. So unfortunately there's nothing you can do. I've reached a point in my life wer i don't care anymore, i cannot be worrying myself about things that are out of my control, life is too short

[@masechabamakola4181]

Brilliant answer to question 1 Steph! ❤

[@masechabamakola4181]

Steph you are so wise. Wow ma'am! ❤

[@moyosore5540]

Steph thanks for being so open, this was beautiful and encouraging to watch ❤

[@KateTheRunner]

Love you both and we are rooting for your overall well-being. It's not easy being new parents. We are all also still navigating through it and all we can say is God speed. ❤️❤️❤️

[@NduwaSiachaba]

It's like 3 in the morning, after putting my baby back to sleep and decided to watch this installment and I can't fathom how emotional I got! The rawness of this video is everything and has given me a sense of belonging especially that Stephanie was put on the spotlight! I am a month, 1week postpartum and my struggles I must say have been quite challenging especially that I am not in the same space with my partner to feel his love,support and assurance regardless of him doing the necessary things for his child while I battle with my own demons and takecare of our little one all by myself. Thank you guys for this video it made me feel at home❤️🙏&And Stephanie you are one strong lady,your resilience and rawness is unmatched!

[@kimberlymuguta1579]

thank you for sharing Steph. I struggle with PCOS too and i’m just trying to figure it out, the weight and all. I’m just grateful to know there’s many of us and we will figure it out eventually ❤

[@valeriechivinge]

This was beautiful to watch and thank you Steph for highlighting something that maybe others hadn't thought of , personally I hadn't thought that it could be something else happening in my body which is stopping me from losing the weight. Now I can happily dive into it and figure out how my body needs help instead of just giving up and letting it be.

[@simangelemilicentkatsande7359]

Alright I'm emotional because I've been co-parenting since conception and it's sad to know I've had to go through so much alone 😭😞 it hurts. . . But I'm praying for God's light and healing because I want to be able to go on with my life without constant triggers... I love you guys and thank you Steph for the vulnerability ❤

[@nomfundozungu9409]

I feel like I am your friend. I connect with you when ever I see you❤

[@refilwemoepang3084]

I once suffered from alot of acne and God told me that he cares about the little things in my life, the things that matter to me, matter to him as well so yes Momma it's true that it's okay to be concerned about how we look even as Christians. I love you guys and remember that by his stripes your are healed.

[@lorrainenyathi3645]

This is ME right now, 10 months post partum. I gained 11kg during preggo, I lost 6kg straight after birth and gained 5kg during breastfeeding. I am banting and doing light exercises but my body gives me no returns walahi. I gave in and went to a registered dietician last Friday. I got my menu and am easing into it this week . My mum when trying to describe a big lady at her church said to me verbatim, " she is bigger than you so imagine!" I am like wow I am my mum's ballpark of all things big, that's fun! PCOS is a beast but I do want to thank my body for giving me 4 gorgeous kids inspite of being told it couldn't . I will take weight gain any day for it is the result of my biggest blessings

[@nompilokhumalo1016]

Ahh im sorry, people do say mean things hei.

[@ncisept5900]

I lost the lil hips I had prior pregnancy and weight accumulating in my stomach.

[@khanyile6916]

Ya no it's extremely difficult to lose weight while you're breastfeeding. I tried every diet, it's hard because your body needs 600 more calories. I stopped breastfeeding 5 days ago and I'm able to control my eating.

[@desireemagabe1473]

Lost weight during breastfeeding nd the minute I stopped I gained about 20kg from January till now.

[@khanyile6916]

@@desireemagabe1473 whaaaaaat!!? How ? Didnt you get mad cravings? I cravedd so much sugar while breastfeeding and now I basically have to force myself to eat. Was it the opposite for you?

But Hungani is right vhathu, 💯.. Steph is filled with wisdom, she's so wise 😢😢i give it to her.. And this made me emotional. I jus love how she answers the questions genuinely and raw

[@xolamavundla3560]

I haven't watched you guys in awhile but I believe I watched again at the right time, I needed to hear all this, wait gain is such a struggle and I'm surprised everyday how people can be so cruel and harsh to a person that has put on some weight

[@Busi-Divine_Ndlovu]

Yeah the weight gaining issue it's really overwhelming sometime,me l gained so much weight to an extent that l was uncomfortable in my own body, from size 34 to 40(Skirt/Trousers) it was too much but when my baby was 8 months l started slimming natural,now l'm on size 28/32 and she is 1 year 4, sometimes we just need to relax not stressing ourselves about weight gaining,it will eventually go as it came by itself, sending love to the Ndlovu family l so much love you guys

[@tebellotsetela5493]

I'm in my 8th year of marriage and I also came to the realization that you can't really fully be prepared for marriage. @Steph, I love the way you explained your premise of marriage preparation in that it should be an inward work of the individual rather than it being physical. That it so true in every sense. 💯❤

[@lucymmapatsemarobela4073]

#RoadTo400k ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for Sharing your story Steph alot of us go through similar things but don't talk about it❤️❤️❤️

[@shawntini229]

Falling out of love is really not easy a person has to take extreme measure or to be really toxic to make the other party fall out of love. which is why we see a lot of people staying in toxic situation or giving their partners 100 chances and hope that their will eventually change. The are a number of reasons that make people stay in a relationship, the bond you have created over the years, you already trust this person, scared of dating again, trauma/ abandonment issues, children, money. In reality its the love because in some instances you know how toxic the relationship is and how damaging it is to you and you children but some how you can't let it go. In summary people should know that they went through extreme lengths to make their partner fall out of love with them. Especially from a female perspective. I do not think in a relationship a person should worry so much about their partner falling out of love with them, but rather be worried about the staff that a person does every single day to make their partner fall out of love with them.
