How are y’all Moms doing?

Question

I hope everyone is doing well! And that all the December babies are healthy as can be especially you mommas!💕 
I’m a new mom and my baby is 2 weeks! How have y’all been with losing weight? I’m just curious,  I’m very surprised I’ve lost most of it! I can’t wait until I can work out and get back to my pre pregnancy body lol but due to having an unexpected C-section it’s gonna be a few weeks. 😩 I’ve been taking pictures to see how much a difference I’ve made so far.

Answer

I had a vaginal delivery 3 weeks ago and I lost all of my weight gained during pregnancy and an additional 8 lbs on top of that!

Answer

I was 185lbs at the end of my pregnancy and I was weighed at 2 1/2 weeks pp and was 161lbs. But I'm breastfeeding (pumping) and my son is eating 4oz every 2-3 hours. My son's pediatrician said he could be eating so much because my milk isn't very rich. So he's needing to take in significantly more in order to be satisfied. She said I need to increase my caloric intake. So I'm worried that I'm going to put on a lot of weight. I feel like I was eating plenty before, but it's quite possible that I wasn't with being so distracted with my baby. I've been making myself eat lots more and I really just hope that once I can exercise again, I'll be able to balance it out.

This momma and baby are doing well. My LO has intense witching hour, so I struggle to keep her happy from about 6/7pm-10pm but other than that everything is going smooth. I only have 2 more weeks off with my baby girl though 😩. I’m definitely having a hard time with that. As for my body and weight I am very pleased. I somehow lost more weight than I gained. I started at 124 lbs and gained 7 lbs my entire pregnancy putting me at 131 lbs when I delivered. I am 3 weeks and 4 days pp and I am down to 115 lbs (which was actually my prepregnancy weight from before I had my first baby. I never got back down to it with him. So I’m glad to be back to that after I had my daughter). I lost most of my belly but do still have that little bit of a pouch. Can’t wait to be cleared so I can maybe start doing some exercises to work on getting the body back that I had before kids. Now to get my baby girl to sleep more than 3-4 hours at night! That’s the next goal haha.

I also had an unexpected c section with my baby just under 2 weeks ago my Jan baby became a dec baby!! I’m shocked how much breastfeeding has taken my weight off! I’ve been trying to walk “laps” around my house when I get up I make a loop through my entire house twice so that I’m moving all day!

Answer

I’m a month pp and at my pre birth weight. Def no longer toned though, I can’t wait to work out again.. but it’ll be awhile. With my first baby I got very underweight from nursing, and there was no way to gain muscle when I couldn’t keep any fat on my body. I had to wait until she weaned before I really got to work out again. I suspect this time it’s going to be similar, which is okay, priority for me is to nurse and grow my tiny human!

Answer

I haven’t weighed myself yet, but I’m 2 weeks PP and my body looks almost exactly like it did before I was pregnant. I’m still a little more squishy than I’d like, but I’m really happy with how I look so far.

Answer

I had a csection also and at almost 3weeks pp I’m only 3lbs away from
My pre pregnancy weight. After we left the hospital my appetite decreased tremendously.
