Did you lose a significant amount of weight after getting an induction?

Question

Answer

You lose weight after giving birth regardless of the method because of all the extra fluids, placenta, and baby.

Answer

I was induced just before 39 weeks and lost 20 pounds in the 2 weeks right after giving birth and another 5 pounds from breastfeeding in the next month!

Answer

I was down 30 pounds after baby and only gained 15. I weighed less than before I got pregnant.

Answer

Gained 40 and lost 30 of it in one week after giving birth. 5 months pp and still trying to get rid of that last 10 😅

Answer

I was 169 being admitted for induction and when I got home I was 155. Then at some point dropped to 145 but I've been stuck at 150. I am hungry ALL the time while breastfeeding. I have an early breakfast and late breakfast, one lunch and then early dinner & late dinner when my hubs gets home, not to mention all the snacking in between.

Answer

I lost 15 in the 24 hrs I was at the hospital! It just falls off (or out lol) of ya

Answer

I don’t think an induction, as opposed to natural labour or c section, would cause you to gain or lose any more weight than the other methods! I would say it depends more on your body type etc.

Answer

Yes I did, I wasn’t able to eat for 3 days during the induction and then after that I had no appetite. When I say no appetite I mean NO appetite, I only wanted this special k cereal, and I could eat 1 bowl a day and not be hungry for anything else the rest of the day. So I wasn’t losing weight in a healthy way. I had lost all the weight I gained by the time my daughter was 3 weeks.
