Weight drop after giving birth !!! am 36 weeks pregnant and gained 28 pounds so far?
I lost about 15 lbs the day I had my first. He weighed 7 lbs, and then there’s the weight of the placenta and all the blood and fluid you lose too. I gained around 45 lbs with that pregnancy, but because I was underweight by nearly 20 lbs when I got pregnant I didn’t want to lose all the weight. I have no idea how much I lost when I had my second – she was a preemie born by c-section and I wasn’t able to weigh myself after her birth. She only weighed 4lb11oz, so I probably only lost less than 10 lbs. Like I said, though, I need a few extra pounds on my frame. I’m tall and naturally really bony, so the pregnancy weight I’ve kept on has filled me out a bit. I finally have actual curves so I haven’t tried to lose the weight. How much you will lose depends on your body type – whether you lose weight easily or not – and your diet and how much exercise you’re able to get. And it can take a few months too, so don’t feel bad if it seems like it’s taking too long. Glad you’re trying to breastfe
