11+4 ~35 lbs

I think I gained 22 pounds while pregnant

13+2, I went back to my prepreg weight (-26lbs) a week after birth once the swelling went down and have been the same since

Baby is 3 months and I've lost all but 6lbs. I will say I only gained 26lbs and it was gone a week after I gave birth, I think a lot of it was fluid.

14+ 3 and 30 lbs still have 20 more. I ate a lottttt when I was pregnant. Also I used to smoke and the anxiety was bad 😩

I am almost 10 weeks pp & have lost 20lbs. I haven’t been exercising though but I’m going to start. What did you guys do to lose more or was it natural/ time?

From what the moms in my family told me it’s milk production what helps.

I breastfeed already :/

Baby is 10+2. I gained about 35 lbs during my pregnancy and lost most of it immediately but been slowly noticing its going away more and more. Still about 10lbs heavier than where I started. My jeans almost fit again though. I keep trying them on every now and then because I prefer jeans over leggings.

Baby is 12 weeks tomorrow.
Gained 65 lbs, 30 lbs of fluid and swelling - lost 45 lbs so far, still at my heaviest not pregnant though! 🥹
I breastfeed, work on my pelvic floor muscles and do yoga.

Thank you all for sharing! You all are doing amazing!
I was only 100lbs when I got pregnant & gained 35lbs during so I’m trying to be easy on myself (as we all should but easier said than done) as I know that is a low weight to begin. I am 115lbs right now after losing 20lbs, but hoping to lose 10 more. I’m going to try yoga, more walks, and honestly eating better as I got quite the sweet tooth with pregnancy that I still have

Baby is almost 10 weeks. I gained 30 during pregnancy and I’ve lost 15.

13 weeks, lost 26 so far. Gained 45 during pregnancy😖

Avatar

also dealing with being my heaviest not pregnant😣 what are you doing for pelvic floor workouts?

Avatar

for pelvic floor muscles, I see a PT, but the first thing they’ve had me working on is breathing - inhale fill and exhale contracting your core first (like pulling a zipper up)

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Leaving baby for date night

How old was your baby the first time you left them for a night alone with your partner or friends? How long did you leave them for and who did you leave them with?
