Weight after baby....

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Is anybody having any issues with weight loss since your LO's have arrived? I can't seem to stop losing and I'm getting a little concerned.  I really feel like it is from constantly chasing around my LO. She is non stop all day.  I am still nursing so maybe it is from that? I dont know...I guess I'm just looking for a little re assurance that others are in the same boat.  I gained 40lbs while pregnant and I am down 60 lbs since having her.  So like 20lbs below my "normal" weight.  People are starting to comment.  (Am I eating enough, I need to take care of myself and all that type of stuff to really make me feel like crap.)  Im going to the drs today to get some bloodwork and check out my thyroid.  Anyone else dealing with this?  Thanks!

    I have lost a ton of weight but have hit a plateau lately. Before I got pg I gained a lot of weight because of the combination of fertility drugs and insulin. I have lost all of the baby weight 35lbs plus the 20lb I gained before conception and more. I now weigh less than I did when I graduated high school! Bonus! Except the clothing I bought after DS was born is all a little oversized now. I can take off some of my pants without unbuttoning them.

    I think it is because I am more active, even though I stay home we are always doing something and I eat way less. It is amazing what having to eat on the fly can do. I eat healthy and have cut out prepared foods.

    I hope that this is a good thing and there is nothing wrong. I also had a friend go through this and she was bfing. I think when she stopped she leveled out.

    I bet you will start to plateau at some point.  I have lost 70 lbs since having Aidan and only gained 30 when I was pg.  I really think it is all the running around after him now- I feel like I never sit down!  GL and let us know how the testing goes.

    I am actually having the oposite issue. Pre pregnancy #2 I had lost 80lbs somewhat easily. Gained 50lbs during pregnancy, and now am having issues being 30lbs above what I used to be. It's frustrating but there's no medical issue for it.

    ahhh... I can only wish the weight would fall off. I lost 8lbs and seem to have gained it back again. I can't lose weight for the life of me. I held the weight on with baby #1 too- then I went back to work and it fell off. I'm hoping the warmer weather will help in a month or so and I'll be able to get out and do daily walks with the boys. Ugh, I want to join a gym but I don't think my older son will do well going to the daycare there. Grrrrrrr

    I hope nothing's wrong and you're healthy!
