Hi Krissiem23, I gained 23lbs with my ds. 5 days after giving birth I lost 16 pounds. By the time my ds was 8 weeks I had lost all the weight and 7 more pounds, I was a little heavier when I got preggo than usual. I only b___stfed for 2 1/2 weeks due to not making enough milk. I did not exercise or cut out any food. Unfortunately I still have a little bit of a pooch. Guess I need to get off my lazy b___t and do some crunches !haha Good luck to you and cherish this time in your life. I miss being pregnant, and my little man is the best thing that ever happend to me. Can't wait to start trying for a dd.

I am currenly 4wks out from giving birth. I gained 34 lbs with the pregnancy then had a c-section after 16 hours of labor to deliver my baby 6wks early. He weighed 5lbs 7 oz. My doctor had told me that the surgery would make me retain even more fluids than I did during the pregnancy, which it did. My ankles were huge when I got home. I was in the hospital for 4 days after delivering and the first thing I did when I got home was weigh myself. BIg mistake! I had only lost 7lbs! I cried for hours. But then I started losing a pound a day for the next 11 days. Since then I have hit a plateau. I have lost 16lbs of the 32 I put on. I still have to wait another 2wks before I can start working out. I figure it will take me at least 16wks to lose the remaining 16lbs, probably longer since I will be getting into the holiday season. They usually say "9 months to put it on, 9 months to take it off" so be patient with yourself.

I gained 38 lbs. Weighed 178 when I checked into labor and delivery. and on my way to my post partum room just an hour after birth I weighed only 4 lbs lighter. When I left the hospital 2 days later I think I lost 8 lbs. I have since lost a total of 28 lbs and I am 5 weeks post partum. I weigh 150 and need to loose another 20 lbs.
