Answer

2 1/2 years

Answer

A couple of weeks. But I have a lot of trouble gaining weight and/or keeping weight on. With all of my pregnancies, I wanted to keep at least 5-10 lbs from the pregnancy, but I never could. But mine were all really close together (21 months between each), I struggled with PPD with the middle one, and the last one was unplanned and happened when I was extremely underweight. 
1st pregnancy in 2016:
Pre pregnancy weight was 98 lbs.
Was 120 by the end of the pregnancy.
Took 3 weeks to get down to normal weight, but was underweight by 6 months pp. 
2nd pregnancy in 2018:
Pre pregnancy - 94 lbs, delivered at 117.
Took 2 weeks to get down to pre pregnancy weight. 
Had really bad PPD with him and was 81 lbs by 6 weeks. Didn't gain the weight back until I was 4 months pregnant with the next one. 
3rd pregnancy in 2020: 
Pre-pregnancy weight was 81 lbs and pregnancy was an accident. 
Delivered at 120 lbs. 
Wanted to stay around 105, but dropped to 102 by 6 weeks. 6 months pp now and doing better, but still losing. Down to 92.

Answer

I gained 13 and lost 14 at delivery. I lost another 10 from breastfeeding but put it back on. I am at my prepregnancy weight

Answer

I’m 5’4 and I was 130 before pregnancy and got up to around 170-180 by the end of it. I got down to my pre pregnancy weight 6 weeks after birth. I also breastfed and forgot to eat constantly since I was so busy between work and the newborn 😅

Answer

I gained 20lbs and had lost 40lbs by the time I had my six week check up. Breastfeeding is what did it for me i guess because I didn’t exercise or anything.

Answer

With my first I started at 140lbs then lost weight (due to bad morning sickness) so I dropped down to 130lbs. When my son was born I weighed 175lbs. Immediately after birth I dropped down to 150lbs and by 9 month postpartum I was down to 135lbs and back into my old clothes 
With my second I started at 140lbs. By the time I gave birth I was 170lbs. Immediately I dropped down to 155lbs. I’m 4 weeks postpartum now but since 3 weeks pp I was 135lbs and back into my pre pregnancy clothes  
Both post pregnancies I didn’t exercise or do a strict diet. I just ate healthy and breastfed like crazy

Answer

I was 150 pre-pregnancy and got to 185 by the end.
Lost 20 pounds in the first week after she was born, and another 10 in 3 weeks after that!
I’m 11 weeks postpartum now and only 5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight!

Answer

I'm 3 months pp. Gained 33lbs and im now down 30lbs. I did absolutely nothing to lose it so far. Except breastfeeding.. maybe? With my first it took over a year to lose my baby weight... also doing nothing. I breastfed but only for a month with the first.
