Postpartum weight loss

How fast did you lose your pregnancy weight? I know initially it’s a good amount because you lose all the fluid and the weight of the baby... but after that initial drop, what rate did you lose and how many pounds? Did you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight? Was it fast?

I’m wondering because I’m six weeks postpartum and I’m already 6 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I gained 35 pounds during pregnancy. It feels like too fast of a loss.
