Has anyone else been gaining weight postpartum?

Question

I feel like I’m gaining weight faster postpartum than I did while I was pregnant.

Answer

I had an initial drop of 22 lbs within the first couple of weeks after giving birth and then up again.  I’m now 5 weeks postpartum and have about 20 lbs to lose if I want to be where I was pre pregnancy.  I go back to work next week and I only have 2 pair of pants that fit 🤨

Answer

Glad I’m not the only one! I only gained around 25-30 lbs during pregnancy, dropped 20 of it as soon as he was born, and in the 4 months since then have gained 10 back. This is the heaviest I’ve been since college. 
I was EBF for two months then EPed for another two, I just weaned and switched to formula so idk if I’ll see a change now. I def need to exercise more but I eat pretty healthy, no real change in diet/exercise levels compared to pre-pregnancy though so idk why the weight gain now. 🤷🏼‍♀️
