How much weight did you lose post partum?

Question

After having your baby how much weight did you lose? Just wondering because I'm down 21 lbs and didn't know if that much is normal. I know baby weight and placenta and swelling have a big part in it.

Answer

I lost about 15lbs by actually giving birth. I was at my pre-pregnancy weight (so -35lbs) about 9mo pp. Now 19mo pp I'm down another 10lbs.

Answer

My first weeks of pp I lost 30 pounds exactly. Many because I lost my appetite due to c section

Answer

Huh. These other ladies are making me feel bad. Gained 60 with my first and only lost about 10 lbs within the first 2 weeks pp. Took me a few months to lose another 20 lbs. never lost it all. 
2nd pregnancy gained 25 lbs... again only lost about 10 immediately and that was with breastfeeding. Took about 3 months to get to my pre pregnancy weight. 
This time I had lost 25 lbs before conceiving. I’m up 18 lbs at 32 weeks. I’m hoping not to go over the 25 lbs and maybe, hopefully, I’ll lose more than 10 lbs this time around. 
I will say I found out I had hypothyroidism between the 2nd and 3rd pregnancy... so that could have played a role in the slow weight loss.

Answer

You're supposed to only gain about 25 pounds during a pregnancy which is all baby. So it's very common for women to lose about 15-25 pounds in that first week or two (once baby's out, that added weight from supporting them naturally just goes with them). From there, it's just excess fat you gained. I gained 20 pounds during my pregnancy and lost all of it within 5 days or so.

I gained 15 pounds with my first and lost it all within 2 weeks. This pregnancy I'm 34 weeks and have gained 8 pounds so I'll probably lose it all within the first 2 or 3 weeks again
