Just curious ! 🤔 how much weight did you mommies lose just by giving birth ? Or in the first week ?

40 pounds within the first week. I was also BF

I lost 20 pounds & was also BF. Basically back to my beginning weight

I lost 25 pounds within the first couple days. I gained 40. I'm 5 months pp and only have about 5 more pounds to go, I'm also breastfeeding.

@k.hugh, @luuuuuucyyy @mommy_faith I was just curious if I've lost enough weight because I'm 1wk PP and so far I've lost 25lbs and I'm BF also and idk what would be a normal amount to lose

I think it also has a lot to do with each individual person :) I don't think there is a "normal" amount to lose.

@k.hugh, Thank you (:

I think you're doing good, as long as you feel great(:

I only 21 weeks with my first but have a question for everyone since we're on the topic. I'm not worried about losing weight after baby arrives because I loose and gain fairly easy and balance my weight well during reg life and pregnancy but any of you moms worry about the drastic changes in your skin with such rapid weight loss of one week. I mean ideally I know you should loose a large amount equal to the baby plus lots of water but 40 pounds seems like a whole lot. I'm hoping to spread my weight loss out over a couple months. Is that even possible. I'm clueless. It seems like it just fell right off of y'all

@txyogagirl, I personally was not doing anything in specific to lose weight, even though it's only 25lbs it's most likely just all the water, blood, and baby

@jenny_20, and your skin was ok with the drastic change that's what I mean

@txyogagirl, Well of course my belly feels stretched out and very thin, and I have a bunch of stretch marks but I think it's pretty normal, I wouldn't know until my uterus completely goes back to normal

I lost 27 lbs by week two. I have 5lbs left til im my pre pregnancy weight. I am breastfeeding and also had a very large baby.

@momagainjj82, how's your skin?

Def pretty loose. Doesn't hang down or anything but it feels just mushy kinda lol. I haven't worked out or anything. I've been wearing a postpartum belt thing which has helped.

@txyogagirl

the first couple months I lost 12 lbs
