how much weight loss day before and after

[justwantcheese]

Hi what is the average weight loss at birth ,baby placenta ,the whole works?

Don't know what the average is, but with my first I lost 13lbs and my second 15lbs.

I'm not sure because I didn't get a chance to weigh myself for about a week. Both times I was a bit to find I had only lost about a stone of the two stone I'd gained.

Well I tend to lose about 19lb but then put on about a couple of stone over the next 6 months due to bfing and sugar cravings.

I lost 14lb giving birth and then another 7lb over the next three weeks as I lost the water, extra blood you carry etc.

Do you know, the day after I gave birth I had more to think about than how much weight I'd lost

After a week or so, it was only just under a stone but I think there was a lot of water retention and swollen boobs!

I hope to loose at least 4 as I've now gained about 3 and I'm no skinny Minnie anyway I'm now a very large lady :;

I lost about 1.5 stone almost immediately but i did put on over 3 stone with the pregnancy

I lost 5 kilos on the day. I had gained 12kg altogether. I think I dropped another 4kg within about 3 weeks and the last 3 came off over 6 months.

Do people really weigh themselves the day after they have given birth? Really? Why would you even think about it? I don't recall seeing any scales in the maternity ward though I doubt I would have noticed them as I was far too busy staring at my gorgeous baby

Complete fascination for me lacka. I was in the bathroom at home and the scales were just there and I was really curious to know how much everything weighed!

I had a homebirth lacka so was at home anyway. Was just interested... Was a little bit weight obsessed in pregnancy to be honest. Am again now (39+3) have put on about 11kg this time so quite pleased.

I lost 26lbs over 6 days. I was weighed the morning before being induced and weighed 211lbs (a Tuesday morning). I came home on the Sunday and was 185lbs. A week later I dropped to 174. Unfortunatly the weight loss didn't continue!

I was pissed off to fuckery that on getting home after 4 days in hospital (labour, c-section and recovery), having lost what felt like 20 gallons of water, had a 9lb 9oz baby plus placenta delivered, no food for at least 24 hours and craptastic NHS iron-curtain rations food thereafter, plus mega hungry baby, I hadn't even lost a poxy stone!

Just as well it was the NHS or I might have asked for my money back.

However once BF got established I lost a pound a day until I ended up at 8st 2 when he was about a month old. Huzzah! That's half a stone thinner than before I got pregnant.

I lost A stone of 3st with first child
Lost Zero with 2ns child, weighed 8.6lb. Sign of post partum thyroiditis :( gutted. Put on more and more weight :(
