losing too much weight

[meggymum]

hi all

i feel like i may be the only person experiencing this, and feel a little guilty bringing it up here, but i think i am losing too much weight.

i was 10st 5lb before i fell pregnant, and i only put on just over a stone. now 3 weeks after giving birth i am 9st 12lb and i weighed myself after i had already eaten breakfast. I am BF and i know that burns calories, but should i be worried? i dont think i am eating as much as before purely due to time restraints with the LO, but dont feel weak or anything.

any thoughts, or is anyone else going thru the same thing?

They say breastfeeding can burn up to 500 calories a day. Does seem to be quite a drop but maybe you're just lucky x
If you yourself feel like you are losing too much go to docs to have a blood test to check thyroid etc. Im sure you are just lucky hun
