Lost all baby weight at 1 week - weird?

[InStyle]

I gained 20lb this pg. Not much, I know. I had lost it all by day 5. This is a bit soon, don't you think? I am bfing in demand - is that the reason? Just very odd to being pg, round and uncomfortable (was all bump) this time last week to feeling slimmer than pre-preg now.

Anyone else had this?

I did this. Started at 9 st, went up to 10.5 st by end of pregnancy.

Weighed myself a week after giving birth and was 8st 10!

Really weird. Belly still looked like empty sack though.

I formula fed and it took a week to lose the weight.

I lost 2 stone when pregnant this time round, I tell anyone that will listen

I lost 2.5 stone with my 2 last pregnancies

But went from a size 10 to a size 16 with my first pregnancy

I'm a size 10 again now though (ds3 is 9months old)

It wasn't fun though, I truly suffered for the weight loss, I was horrendously ill throughout the last 2 pregnancies which caused me to lose all the weight and make me weigh less after pregnancy than I was before

This happened to me after both pregnancies. To be fair ,I pretty much stayed the same with my first all throughout (look wise, with just a little bump) and had the same appetite as before. But the second time around i ate like a horse and thought i had gained loads ,but was actually lighter than before about a week after.

However took me about a month to get into my skinny jeans so it must've taken a bit longer for hips to go back into place.

I know several people who lost it all that quickly so definitely not weird. Tends to happen most to people to gain the lower end of the recommended weight gain and who BF. Took me a bit longer... can't remember exact timing but definitely within the first 4 weeks. 90% of it went in the first week.

I've lost my size but not my weight weirdly! Baby is 8 days old and I look slimmer than before pregnancy but I'm about half a stone heavier. Could all be in my boobs though as they are massive!

I put on 2 stone in pregnancy and had a really small bump, all the way through ppl questioned my dates and they kept telling me it needed to be a bit bigger (36cm @ 40 weeks). But then DD came out at 8lbs4oz so just in birth I lost a stone & a half and my fairly small bump just disappeared over a couple of days.

I felt sick for pretty much the whole pregnancy and towards the end when baby was still not popping out fully I physically couldn't eat a full meal so its not a huge surprise I didn't have fat to loose too.

You are very lucky! I only put on 8lbs with Dd2 , largely as I was diabetic. She was 7lb2 , but I also had excess fluid. A year later, I was a stone heavier, and the stomach skin will never go without surgery, even when the weight is lost. Like others, I put the weight on,pm partly because I could then eat what I wanted, but I was starving all the the time, and despite constant bf, I didn't lose.
