No weight loss 6 months pp

Hi All,

I’m feeling really upset, I’ve not shifted any of the 16kg I put on during pregnancy and I’m now 6 months pp.

In the early days with my baby I hardly ate or drank as there was no time and the weight didn’t shift.

Now I eat but I have say toast for breakfast, soup for lunch and a naked burger for dinner. I go swimming every week, sometimes 3 times a week but the weight won’t shift!

I don’t know what to do. I had PCOS before pregnancy

Do you breastfeed? Sometimes your body holds onto your fat stores till you stop. You're also being super hard on yourself - your body made a whole person!! Give yourself a break

I don’t, my baby has CMPA so is formula fed

I was feeling the same the weight wasn’t budging so I started tracking what i’m eating and the energy i’m burning and I wasn’t in a calorie deficit despite thinking I was 😅 have made a few changes to what i’m eating and exercising a bit more and I’ve lost a kg in the last 10 days. There’s an app called Noom that I used which has a 2 week trial for £1. I’ve cancelled it now cause I know what i’m doing more. Hope that helps?!

Thank you! Xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
