How To Lose Pregnancy Weight?

How much weight did you gain during your pregnancy and then LOSE immediately after giving birth?

  • If you don't mind sharing, A) How much weight did you gain in your entire pregnancy B) How much weight did you lose after giving birth, in the first few days

  • Answer:

    A) I gained 70 lbs during my pregnancy, all from 20-40 weeks, prior to that I had lost about 10 lbs. B). I had a c-section and had a lot of swelling so I was the same weight when I went home with my daughter as I was when I went in when I was in labor. It wasn't until the swelling went down a couple weeks after she was born that I lost a bunch of weight but by 3 weeks pp I had dropped 35 lbs. I've since gained back about 10.

A.) I gained 35 pounds during my pregnancy. B.) I think I probably lost about 15-20 pounds in the first week or two--definitely 15 by a week postpartum, but I can't remember exactly. I was back at my pre-pregnancy weight at around 9 months postpartum.

First Pregnancy 1) 20 years old gained 27 pounds 2) Lost it all within 8 days after giving birth Second Pregnancy 1) 23 years old gained about 32 pounds 2) Lost about 13 within the first week, after a few months I had lost everything except about 10 pounds which I did not lose until baby was 1 year Third Pregnancy 1) I am now 25 and 36 weeks with my third and so far have gained 38 pounds :(. I am hoping it will not take a year to lose it all this time! Hope that helps! I included my ages because I have heard that the younger you are the easier it is to lose the weight right away(not sure if that's true though). Also I nursed both (no formula) and I know that helps!

I gained 35lbs during pregnancy. I weighed 5 days after giving birth and had lost 20 lbs. I've been struggling to get down to my pre pregnancy weight for almost a year now. I've been going back and for in this 5lb range and it's so frustrating! I've gotten down to it a few times and then gotten above it by a few pounds again. But I'm hopeful that eventually I'll get to where I want to be.

I gained 33 lbs. I was in the hospital for 6 days (because the baby was jaundice), when i weighed myself after coming home i had already lost 18 lbs. the rest came off over the next few weeks because i was breastfeeding, so the weight just dropped off
