I've gained so much weight

HA!  It's likely water weight...don't stress too much.  Cut out the sodium wherever you can.

are you planning on bfing?  if so, that weight will melt off faster than lightning!

It gets much worse before it gets better, hate to tell ya! Fortunately, it falls off  quickly postpartum!

I have to say I saw the opposite. ?I hung on to an extra 10 lbs for the first 3.5 months I was bfing. ?As soon as I stopped the weight came right off. ?

?I also gained a lot of weight with my first pregnancy. ?A lot more than I needed to anyway. ?It took 6 months but I managed to lose it all.?

Not for everyone!  I am one of the lucky ones that holds on to weight.

I'm a bubble buster here too...darn!...my weight never came off and my OB and Endocrinologist said that my body wouldn't let go of the last 8-10lbs of pregnancy weight until I weaned.  To this day that extra 8 lbs is still here...ack!  We're working on weaning so hopefully it will be gone soon!   I hope that you don't have the same trouble I've had...it stinks!

you know, as soon as I posted that I thought "whoa, maybe that's not so common".  sorry opal, maybe you will and maybe you won't.

well, in the end i think i did hold some extra weight (this was at 16 mos when i weaned) but i also gained 65, so the 8-10 at the end was the least of my problems. with nursing, i lost 20 lbs pretty quickly and then it took a long time to get the rest off... in fact, i never lost it all and started this pregnancy 20 lbs heavier than i was last time. i certainly can't blame nursing for any of that.
