What was ur pre-baby weight and post-baby weight?

Question

Hi, I'm curios what people weighted befor getting pregnant and after the baby was born and if it was easy/hard to lose the baby weight. I'm wondering what should be my weight goal before I TTC - currently am 5 ft 3inches and weigh 150lbs 😞. 
My goal was 130lbs but it's taking forever to get down to my goal weight and am eager to start trying now!

Answer

I was about 135 before my daughter, 145 at delivery, and 120 coming home from the hospital. I'm hoping  for good luck again this time. 
Keep in mind you'll lose roughly 6-8lbs of baby, but also pounds of placenta/amniotic fluid and water weight. Usually about 20lbs right off the bat. Breastfeeding afterwards also works wonders.

Answer

Most of this is guesswork since I'm still pregnant but I've discussed the probable weight fluctuations with my doctor. I'm 5'4" and was about 145 when I got pregnant, which is 10 lbs heavier than my happy weight. I'm 27 weeks pregnant now and have gained 18 lbs - this puts me on track to weigh about 175 (a 30 lb gain) before delivery. Doctor says most women lose double the weight of the baby just through delivery, so I might lose about 15 lbs right off the bat, putting me around 160 post-delivery. She also said I can expect to lose another 5-10 lbs over the next few weeks as my body gets back to normal, as long as I'm not eating terribly. So that might put me back down to 150-155, leaving me with about 5-10 more lbs to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'd also like to lose the original 10 extra lbs, too, so I'll definitely have some work to do.

Answer

With my son I was 250lbs when I got pregnant and after I had him I was 206lbs

Answer

I was 145 pre pregnancy and 150lbs 11 months postpartum

Answer

I was 145 at 5'5 prior to giving birth and now I'm stuck at 160. These last 15 pounds don't seem to be going anywhere.

Answer

I'm 5'3" I was 123 pounds before I got pregnant...got up to 187 before giving birth and am now stuck at 156. Ugh!!!!!

Answer

I'm 5'4" and was like 140ish when I got pregnant. And went up to like 175? Before I gave birth? And when I left the hospital I was back down to like 150-140. But within 2 years since giving birth I'm up to 163 😣 and I can't lose it. Good luck, but I'd say you an okay weight to have a baby now, just might have to work harder after words to lose it.
