Weight gain

So I've put on 10 pounds since DD was born. 6 in the last month. WTH body? I don't feel like I've been eating more in the past month than before, but I wonder if the slowing down of milk supply is somehow the culprit.

Have you been to the doctor? Thyroid problems can cause weight gain and I guess are common after having a baby. It's worth a test to see.

No, that didn't cross my mind at all. Thanks, I will add that to the list of I'm fat and depressed things to bring up next week.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

It may just be normal breastfeeding stuff too. With both kids I hold on to at least 10 pounds while breastfeeding. I also usually put on another 5 around 3 to 6 months. After that I can usually shave off that 5 but last 10 doesn't go until I wean.
