I lost a few pounds because I couldn't keep up! Baby was plenty big and healthy at 8lbs. I however, lost a lot of muscle mass and felt a bit weakened afterwards. My butt became a pancake and my skinny legs became jello since he took a lot from me. I'm keeping up on protein of some sort at every meal/snack this time around, especially in last month. It was harder work building back some strength than losing the few extra lbs of baby weight! For reference, I was 130lb 5'6" before my 1st son and gained 35lbs. Now with my 2nd I was 120lbs and have gained about 28lbs so far.
How much weight did you gain in the last weeks of pregnancy?
I've read somewhere that in the 9th month, you can even lose weight. However, I also remember being told to keep up with a pound a week weight gain till the end. I was wondering what you all experienced?
