How much weight did you lose

exhausted8 · April 2013

From giving birth? I weighed myself the morning I was discharged from the hospital, two days pp, and I only lost 7lbs. I couldn't believe it! DS weighed 7lbs 13oz plus the placenta and I had excessive bleeding! Ugh so I gained weight in the hospital?

Now four days pp I am down almost 10lbs. I seriously hope it was just some water retention or something!

Water retention. I had an abnormal amount of swelling-even in my arms thighs and face so I didn't weigh myself until one week pp and it was around 11-16lb. Im one month pp and down around 29lbs-4lbs under prepregnancy weight. Yet my clothes are still really tight on my stomach, my body is different.

That's awesome that you passed your pre pregnancy weight already that took me forever the first around! I am putting on the same clothes that I wore last week while pregnant and feel like they fit better then. I must be swollen. Everything is so tight and looks awful, ugh I know I am being totally impatient and irrational considering I gave birth 4 days ago, but I am just so ready to get back to me.

3 lbs. I was so swollen after my csection that I barely fit into the pants I wore to the hospital. I stuffed my feet into my shoes somehow. DD3 was 8 lbs 9oz.

At 3 weeks I was down 20 lbs. I have 24 lbs to pre pg and 40 lbs to my goal weight.

Immediately I only went down 5 lbs until about a week PP then suddenly changed.

1 week PP I lost 20 lbs. I gained 30 with my pregnancy. My hips and boobs got bigger/wider though. I had a ton of swelling/water retention. Vince was 7 lbs 2oz

4 wks PP down another 15 or so.

Though I think 10 of that was after not pooping for 14 days *insert blushing smiley here*

I didn't weigh myself until 1 week PP. I lost 18# at that point. I had a ton of swelling when I came home from the hospital and I got 3 bags of fluid while I was in labor. I'm sure water retention is what you are seeing. I'm going to continue to weigh in weekly. I have a lot of weight to lose, but I don't plan on actively trying to lose weight until after my 6 week check up.

This is definitely making me feel better. Of coarse I went to google which says on average a woman will lose twelve pounds just by giving birth. I will also weigh myself weekly to see how it goes and will actively try after the check up as well. I plan on doing the 30 day shred to try to get everything to go back to where it belongs! Haha

I'm 4 days pp and I'm down about 11 pounds which is the same as when I came home about 6 hours after having the baby.

With my daughter I lost about 15 right away. I lost 9 more in the next 2 weeks and the final 5 took another month or so.

heddy79 · April 2013

Last time I weighed myself was 18 days PP and I was down 24 lbs.

ChicagoBroad26 · April 2013

When I came home from the hospital (3 days pp) I was only down 4 pounds. 15 days pp I am down 26 pounds, and I'd gained 11 during pregnancy.

2 weeks out I am down 20. But that is just baby and end of pregnancy water weight. I still have a ways to go.

dustypinkhalo · April 2013

I lost 16lbs a week pp...I gained a total of 34...still stuck w 9 more to go

minerswife17 · April 2013

My doc said not to weigh myself until 2 weeks PP bc of swelling and etc. DH made me promise I'd wait the 2 weeks. He knows me too well. I did wait. I gained 12 lbs during pregnancy and have lost 29 lbs.

BrittKav · April 2013

1 day PP (yesterday), I was down 7 lbs. Today at 2 days PP I'm down 9 lbs.

I gained 24 lbs during pregnancy.

kateb171 · April 2013

After a week when I finally weighed myself I was down 20, I don't know where I'm at now!

NicoleSB80 · April 2013

I weighed myself for the first time today, 9 days pp, and I'm down 14lb. I had gained 23lbs as of my last OB appt.

zzbb · April 2013

I came home only losing 6 and baby was 5 : but it's been 3 weeks and I've lost 25 and was wearing my prepreg jeans today. My stomach is still googy and in the way but I can tell a huge difference. I still have 15 to lose but havent been trying yet...just breastfeeding.

JanessLynn · April 2013

I also only lost 7lbs after leaving the hospital, and my baby was 7lb 11oz! I was very discouraged, but now [12 days after delivery] I am down 18lbs. I agree with PPs about water retention!

Mrs.Leah.Maria · April 2013

I weighed myself the morning after we came home and I was at a 10lb loss. I've only lost 3-5 lbs since.

megilb · April 2013

i gained 27 lbs total... 2 days pp i had lost 16 lbs and now ive lost 7 more for a total loss of 23 lbs. 4 more to go

spoilme1 · April 2013

I really wish I woulda got to weigh myself before I left the hospital. 2 weeks pp I was down 18lbs, which is a pound over my starting weight, but my body has changed so much that I have quite a bit of toning to do! Can't wait to be able to get out and start walking spending time outside with my little girl.
