weight gain during m/c?
Has anyone else experienced weight gain during their m/c?
Last Feb I m/c at 10 weeks. I had maybe gained a pound or something from the pg. By the time I got pg again in April I was about 10 lbs heavier. With that one, I had a d&e and gained about 8 pounds from the morning of the d&e to that night and continued to gain weight continually each day.
Then had a septum resection surgery in July and came home that day 12 lbs heavier than I went in.
Today I am m/c at 5 weeks and I haven't been bleeding too much. It is starting to pick up a little, but I am feeling like my belly and my face/neck are swelling. Got on the scale and I am 6 pounds heavier than lunch time.
This is scaring me. I am going to be a house if I keep getting pg and losing it. I have already gained 20 lbs from my first loss and I watch what I eat and exercise. Anyone else experience this?
Re: weight gain during m/c?
I had the same issue. After my 2nd m/c, I started WW and lost about 45 lbs...then I got PG again(but not TTC). It was a huge shock and I gained 15 lbs back....but I have now lost it all. I've lost 70 lbs in total. I really love WW because it gave me something to focus on....GL
I am so sorry for your loss. It's like insult to injuiry...
I was about 10.5W when I learned of our missed m/c. I had not gained any weight yet, likely because of my m/s. Since then and the D&C, I have gained about 3 pounds.
I didn't work out when I was pg and am not sure if it's just that combined with the obvious not having m/s anymore. I definitely am not liking my body right now. I'm planning to get back to my workout routine and hope it goes away, because I was hoping to lose 5 pounds before I pg anyway and now it's up to 8. Nothing like kicking you when you're down!
Missed m/c 11.09 | Missed m/c 3.10 | We miss you & love you so.
