weight loss after baby?

Question

I'm 26 weeks and 3 days
Is Anyone already concerned about losing baby weight? 
If so whats your plans?
I'm absolutely stressed out already.
I'm moving in with my parents along with my husband my lease is over may 6th and due date may 9th so I thought instead of doing another lease go back with my parents so they can help me with baby. & maybe have help staying on track on losing weight instead of being in a new apartment alone and over eating?

Answer

With my first pregnancy, I gained 25lbs and lost 20 at the birth. Breastfeeding helped the last few. I wasnt really stressing about it which probably made it easier, I just ate when I was hungry but made sure I ate more protein and carbs instead of sugars to keep energy up. This time around, I haven't gained as much since I was sick the whole time so I'm looking forward to having an appetite again. Believe me, entertaining a baby will keep you on your feet and lowering stress will help to keep you from gaining it back. If being with your parents will help you to destress, then do it. If they are the type to criticize and make you feel bad for asserting your preferences for your baby then I'd rather renew the lease. The laying around overeating is hard to do with a child who needs your attention constantly. Usually I'd go a day without eating enough

Answer

I gained about 28 pounds total with my first pregnancy, and only lost 12 with the birth. A couple more pounds came off just from fluid shedding over a week, but the rest was a combination of breastfeeding and jogging (well, I didn't start working out until 8 weeks post partum). Rather than eat an extra 500 calories a day while breastfeeding, I ate maybe 100 extra and lost weight that way? I don't actually count calories so I'm guesstimating - I was eating only a little more than usual. It was fairly effortless until the last 5 pounds, which my body seemed determined to hold onto until I actually decreased breastfeeding when my daughter started solids at 6 months old. It took another couple months to lose those last pounds. I've read that the fat content of breast milk increases around the 6 month mark, so that's often when women will notice another boost in weight loss. It was nearly true for me: 9 months to put it on, 7-8 months to come off. I think if I actively restricted calories I could have done it faster, but I didn't want to compromise my milk supply/quality or start obsessing about food.

Answer

My weight just fell off me within 3 weeks of having baby. I breastfed and still was hungry all the time. I actually lost an extra 5 lbs. of course everyone is different! Good luck

Answer

With my first I would lose the weight then gain it back. Before I got pregnant this time I was at my fittest and healthiest weight ever. I looked awesome I won't lie. But I know this time I won't be able to bounce back. I'm only 23 weeks and gained 30 pounds! There's no way I'll be able to lose it after baby comes and it's depressing me😔

Answer

I'm already worried. I was on adderall before I got pregnant so I didn't eat much. Now that I can't take it anymore I feel huge. I'm 26 weeks and I've gained 30lbs. I plan to breastfeed and some say that helps, but others say it doesn't. If I'm breastfeeding I can't got back on my adderall. I would love to stick to a workout plan, but I plan to do the opposite of you. I want to move out of my parents into an apartment with my fiancée. I know then I won't have a sitter to help when I want to workout. I think me personally going to a gym I do better than working out at home.
