I'm so skinny I hate it!!
Has anyone lost a lot of weight while breastfeeding?? My pre pregnancy weight was 115lbs I'm 4 months pp I EBF and currently weight 105lbs. I get so hungry all day. I eat more than my husband sometimes. he always tells me "how the heck do you fit all that in your belly". I have no idea what is going on but I'm starting to look sick, I feel extremely uncomfortable with my weight and my jeans just fall off. Is this normal? I'm getting worried. I've considered stopping breastfeeding.
Yes. Skinny minny here! My jeans that were too big are now falling off!
My butt is the flattest!
I was 125 before pregnancy and now I'm 115. I'm so small like I was in high school. My clothes don't fit, & I miss my old body.my daughter is 14 months.
I feel like I eat enough but I always had a small appetite .
I really don't want to complain because I gained almost 70 lbs during pregnancy and would be freaking out if I didn't lose all that weight
Get tests to see if your deficient in anything ? Or maybe get back on your prenatal (or start one) ??? Im not sure what u should do but those are some suggestions , my mom is friends with a lady who when she was breastfeeding , it took so much of all the nutrients she had in her body, to the point where her hair was falling out and she even had a tooth fall out . She was deficient and started her prenatal pills back up and while her hair still thinned out a little, no more teeth fell out . She got back to her REGULAR pre pregnancy weight and even a little over .
Thank you ladies it's good to know it's common and there isn't something wrong with me.
I don't exactly know how many calories but I eat very decent sized meals and snack through the whole day. Sometimes I even finish my husband's leftovers.
I would love to gain 15 to 20 pounds.
And yes pp I'll trade you. Lol
I dealt with this too. 143lbs when I got pregnant and 163 lbs when I have birth. I was exclusively pumping and bottomed out at 104lbs. I struggled to keep weight on, finally after almost a full year of pumping, my doc said to call it quits. I am now pregnant with baby #2 and my daughter is 16 months. I am now 120lbs and half way through this pregnancy. I plan to pump for this baby too, just know I need to better my calorie intake.
Unfortunately I didn't get to EBF the twins (long story)...I wish I could have.
But I am in a similar situation. (I think I wrote about this recently)
My normal weight is 135-145lbs. I feel very confident weighting that. (I'm 5'4 btw). I'm about 120lbs now, and I can't fit into anything. I'm really struggling with the no weight gain issue.
I hope everything goes back to normal for you soon. I understand what your going through.
I drink "Boost" high protein shakes at least 5+ times a day. Im trying.
Good luck.? And definitely breastfeed if you can.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about pp. Lol it's definitely the other Letty
Thank you so much ladies. That makes me feel a lot better. I will definitely make protein shakes and get some ensure.
That happened when I had my first. I did not like it! I gained my comfortable weight back after I quite breastfeeding. But I had to cut out alot while I was breastfeeding so that also did it. I loved my ankles cause usually I have cankles. Lol but my butt didn't fill my jean! No no!
Good luck hun!
Man id take some of that weight loss. Bfing didn't help me lie weight at all. But I agree. Additional calories and nutrients from ensure could help. Added plus, even more hydration
