Why the fuck didn’t I lose my baby weight ?

Question

I kept my weight at 173lbs during my pregnancy! I’m 1 week postpartum and I weigh 165. And that’s only because I’ve been breastfeeding and drinking lots of water . Before this I was probably about 168 lbs . How is that even possible ! Your supposed to lose the weight of your baby plus the amniotic fluid . Can this be from the food I was eating at the hospital ?

Answer

It's only been 1 week girl, you gotta give it some more time, it doesnt happen that fast.

Answer

It takes time... you aren’t going to lose all of it in a week

Answer

You dont just gain water weight with pregnancy. You gain fat too. Takes longer to burn fat

Answer

It's only been a week. It takes time.

Answer

It took about 3 weeks to lose my baby weight

Answer

This is my 3rd baby and i never just loose the weight 🤷‍♀️ i have to actually try really hard and around 4-6 months PP i gain 5-10 lbs. no matter my macros or gym schedule. I always assume its a hormone thing.

Answer

I lost 4lbs in the first week and had a 7lbs baby... by the end of 2w begging of 3w pp I lost 37/50 I gained.
Child out.

Answer

I’m 3 months PP and I’m still 50 pounds heavier than I was pre pregnancy. You have to give your body time. You don’t literally drop the weight like that, some people do, but most people it takes time. I only lost like 5 pounds the first month PP and I had a 10 pound baby.

Answer

You’d think you’d lose a lot right off the bat with everything that comes out but I didn’t either . Within 2 months I’ve lost 40lbs though . Give it some time . I’m sure you will loose more and more every week

Answer

Yah, same for me. I only lost 8-10 pounds in the first two weeks.  Took four months to get back to prepregnancy weight
