Is it true that if ur younger u tend to bounce back faster?

Question

I was looking through the photos on my husbands phone and I always used to think somewhat negatively about my weight and it would bother me if I gained a few pounds. Keep in mind I was right where I was supposed to be I’m 5’7 and was about 130 pounds. I’m 20. Now I think to myself about how stupid my negative thoughts were about my weight and just hoping that I go back to my old weight and that my breasts don’t look to bad or sag really after breastfeeding is over 😥 rn I’m 33 weeks and 6 days and 157 pounds,pretty proud of myself for gaining the weight I needed to though.

Answer

No. I'm 35, FTM, gained 19lbs total. No stretch marks & was under my pre-pregnancy weight within a week. I was also in really great shape before getting pregnant. I think being in shape (and not just skinny fat, but with a good muscular base) before pregnancy helps more than anything, including age.

Answer

I don’t think so, I know women who had kids in their teens who look awful and women who had kids in their late 30s/early 40s and look great. It just depends on the person.

Answer

No. It has to do with genetics mostly but also how you take care of yourself.

Answer

I’m 28 and apart from a hideous amount of stretch marks I am back to my normal size just about 3 weeks after giving birth- I was really careful with my diet etc- I tried every single stretch mark cream used the sun to no avail and gained weight slowly efx

Answer

I had my baby at 16, gained 40 pounds. I’m almost 2 years PP and haven’t lost any weight lol so i definitely have not bounced back 😭😂

Answer

I'm 30 and just had my first baby in January. I lost all but 5 lbs that I had gained within 6 weeks of giving birth. I breastfeed which i hear helps and I exercised throughout my pregnancy. I've been back in my pre-pregnancy clothes for a while now. I think every body responds differently so you never know

Answer

Not everyone’s the same! I definitely didn’t bounce back, my sons two and I still need to lose 30-40 pounds to be my prepregnancy weight. I have a slow metabolism so it took me a long time to lose any weight. I lost almost all of it and then slowly gained most of it back and my stomach is a little saggy. I’m jealous of those who bounce back so quickly because that didn’t happen to me. I worked my butt off to lose any weight at all. Don’t be hard on yourself, focus on that sweet baby and you’ll lose the weight! I’m 21 about to turn 22 in a few days and I did not bounce back. It all depends on every persons metabolism and how active you are, what you eat etc. I got into very bad ppd and that’s the main cause to me not losing weight. But you’ll be fine don’t worry!
