Weight loss

Hello all!

I’m currently pregnant with my second baby, due in November. My daughter and new baby boy will only be 13 months apart. After my daughter I was able to loose the pregnancy weight within 3 months. I was able to return to my previous weight before getting pregnant again as well. Wondering if anyone else in this position, or something, similar can share their weight loss experiences with the second baby, was it similar to the first or harder or even easier?

I think it took about the same amount of time for me! Don't rush yourself, though! It took me about 9 months each time, I think. That's with me not exercising much though, just eating pretty healthy and eating as much as I needed. Often quite a lot to keep producing plenty of milk. I don't stress it at all. I just focus on me and the baby both staying healthy. I will say though, my weight gain isn't enough to really impact my health, thankfully. I would have to take it more seriously in that case.

I think the only people I've noticed having a hard time losing it quickly had gained a significant amount of weight. Or the kids came back to back before they had lost it, so it starts to build up. So if it was fairly easy for you to manage your weight the first time that could be true for each pregnancy. The weight gain has been the same for me all 3 times.
