weight gain in pregnancy?

Question

so i’ve obviously gained some weight during pregnancy not a lot probably about 2 and a half stone since the start, it could be water weight, i haven’t eaten badly i’ve eaten better than pre pregnancy but i am still gaining weight. to me i feel fat and horrible and i don’t want to do anything for the remaining 3 weeks... anyone got any good stories about losing it after birth?

Answer

With my first I gained about 55 pounds. I lost it ALL and some after I had him by about 8 weeks pp. breastfeeding does wonders!!! This pregnancy I am 37 weeks and have gained 40. Hopefully I loose it quickly again

Answer

Just for reference this is my foot/ ankles the day before I went into labour and then 10 days PP lol

Answer

I am 3 weeks PP. I gained 40 pounds total and I have already lost 29. I think the majority of the weight I gained was retained fluids/swelling. Everything on my body has shrunk, even my knuckles/fingers were swollen and I didn't realize it at the time. I was so panicked my whole pregnancy thinking I was going to be massive forever but I am still consistently losing weight and I am assuming I will be back down to my pre pregnancy weight by my 6 week check up for sure. Hang in there!!!

Answer

Did your doctor say you shouldn’t gain any weight? The way this is written it sounds like you didn’t expect to gain anything. I’m not sure how much a stone is but I lost thirty pounds in the first couple weeks after my son was born. Breastfeeding helped me lose even more and I ended up less than my pre pregnancy weight.
