weight after pregnancy

[lillou]

once you had your LO how much weight did you loose straight away?

how long did it take to go back to pre-pregnancy weight?

I have a goal - i have to be back to 8st 3lb as i have a wedding dress to fit into for May next year (i ordered it before i was pregnant) but starting to think im being very unreasonable!

thanks mums!

I was back to my normal size in 2 weeks after lil miss except up top cos I'm bfing.... your shape can change dramatically after the first though... not so much to do with your weight.

I had a c section, and was back in my jeans two weeks to the day..

although I put on over two stone, it was all baby and fluid, I guess I didnt put any actual weight on... so once he was out, I pee'd like a race horse and was back in my jeans two weeks later

It took me about 3/4 weeks to get back to my normal size

about 2 weeks back in my normal stuff but I'm half a stone lighter than what I was before I got preg, in a size 10 now and heading for an 8

I haven't weighed myself in a long time (need to replace the battery in my scales) and i was never weighed throughout pregnancy, so i have no idea how much i need to loose. But i was back in my normal jeans in 3 days. None of my tops fit though. I'm breastfeeding so my chest is huge.

I was pretty immobile during third tri due to SPD so I'm 3 clothes sizes bigger than I was pre pregnancy. I can go for little walks now so I hope to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight in a few years

I lost half the weight i put on straight away - i put on 2st 2lb and am now 1st 1lb lighter. I bought some 'normal' jeans today,

everyone is different but breastfeeding helps pull everything back into place!

I didn't really lose anything until Stanley turned one, was carrying an extra 10lbish compared to pre pregnancy.

It's all gone now though, but my shape is very different. My boobs and belly have stayed bigger. I can't see which bits have gone smaller though, strange physics

After my first, I never got back into my old jeans!
(but I have an underactive thyroid so that didnt help)

I lost 1 and half stone straight after birth and within 3 weeks I had lost 3stone...I still have a way to go too but I put on a horrendous amount of weight

Its gonna be a long while before I can get my normal clothes past my knees...Im now a size 16 and I was a 6 pre preggy They do say 9months up.....9months down so hey ho if Im still a fatty in 9months then I'll moan but I cant start complaining after 4 weeks!! One thing for sure is my body shape is definately changed and that will probably stay forever unless I hit the gym which is highly unlikely! x

I put on over two stone when pregnant.
I was wearing my pre pregnancy clothes a week after giving birth, which are size 12. Although i am slightly bigger up top due to breastfeeding but most of my tops are stretchy

I still wanna loose a little weight, hopefully another 8-10lbs. Needed to lose this before i got pregnant.

I was back into my normal jeans 2 weeks after I think? I'm a size 14 which is what I was pre-pregnancy. Just more wobbly now

 

[Manda&Thomas]

im a weird one

i lost 2 stone in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy , i then gained a stone back , i lost that stone when i gave birth so i was 2 stone lighter then when i started

but ive nearly gained that 2 stone back ! im so annoyed

pfft some of you are so lucky I was huuge when pregnant im still 2 sizes bigger over all but look quiet slim everywhere apart from the lovely mummy tummy. I could easily pass for 3/4months pregnant and i have been asked a couple times when the babies due

I lost the weight under my chin lol and fat sausage fingers pretty quickly!

 

[Jade&Evie]

I lost the weight almost straight away- its the muscle tone I want back!

 

[soverign]

I put on 4 stone and have lost just under 3. Still got a bit to go yet. Need to do some excercise to get rid of my jelly belly!

 

[kellysomer]

I went from 11stone4 to 13stone 4 during my pregnancy, i am now 10.5 stone so have lost it all plus a bit. My target weight is 10stone (i needed to loose a bit before i got preg) so i have half a stone to go. I was size 12, went up to 14 and now i'm a 10 yay!!

I was back in normal clothes after 10 days.

i lost 2 stone in 2 weeks without even trying, but then i got a bit excited and tried to lose more weight- my baby's just turned 1 and im now nearly another 3 stone less so lost almost 5 stone in total, and iv been referred to the mental health unit for an eating disorder be careful keep ur priorities right while u can still control it!
