My son was still born in July. I had an emergency C so by now shouldn't I be losing weight and going back down to a regular size? My HIPS are still round and wide, and my belly is still soft and out of shape. I started working out gradually about a month ago...(about 3-4 times a week) and I have been eating so good (not this weekend) but otherwise very good. I am trying not to be frustrated, but I still have to wear some maternity type shirts and pants...I feel big and uncomfortable in clothes and even my arms are big (I can tell cause they don't fit into my jackets, and shirts right.
I have been taking a stress vitamin, a chromium supplement, and flaxseed oil capsules daily. As well as drinking water with lemon and no soda. I feel like I should definitely be dropping weight but it is just not happening for me. I have had all my blood work done and my levels checked out fine... HELP ME!
Btw-I was 8 months pregnant when I had the emergency C...and I dropped 19 pounds about a month after that, but now the last 35 pounds are not budging!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sorry you are frustrated.. But I completely understand... The dr told me 9 months to put it on 9 months to take it off. It takes awhile for your body to get back to normal.. I was really frustrated after I delivered Grace at 18 wks because it took forever for my body to start looking "normal" again.
{{hugs}} it will get better...
I had a late term loss at 8 months as well and I want to say it took me about a good 7 months to get down to where I was pre preg. Once I was able to work out, I did so vigorously.....However, with this last miscarriage in October, I seem to be gaining weight! Our bodies can be so frustrating!
Im sorry for your loss.
