Weight gain PP!

Heididdles

I stayed my pre-preg size on the bottom till almost the end of pregnancy. I had some pre-preg jeans that I wore the whole time. Then after DD was born I lost most of the pregnancy weight very quickly. I realized I wasn't eating enough while breastfeeding if I was losing weight so fast. My little sister lost her milk because she dieted while breastfeeding. So I was paranoid about losing my milk and have been eating a ton. This past weekend I had DH get my pre-preg clothes out of storage and was all excited to get back in them. I started trying them on and NOTHING FITS! Some of the jeans that fit me right after DD was born don't fit now. I never expected to gain weight AFTER pregnancy! I think I've gained 5-10 lbs in the thigh/hips/belly section- not to mention C/S swelling. Oh- and the breastfeeding boobs maybe add a lb.... ha ha. Anyway- I know I can't try to lose the weight while breastfeeding, but what a bummer to have to slip back into maternity jeans when pre-preg jeans fit after DD was born! Guess it's time to go on a summer shopping trip since my summer clothes don't fit! Yikes...

1ht... your body just changes w pregnancy. nothing fit the same even at the same weight pre and  post pg. bummer, isnt it? i would just enjoy this time and not be so concerned about your weight. as long as youre eating healthy your body is going to do what is right. it could also be storing fat for milk production.
