how much weight did you lose when you actually gave birth

[fedupandfat]

i came out of the delivery room one stone lighter with both ds and dd. The other stone i put on came off in the next few weeks. I am 38 weeks with no 3 and wondered if it will be the same with this one. The thought of shedding a stone in a day is wonderful...I am so heavy and uncomfortable, just want baby to come out now.

a good stone each time, slightly over with the twins. I had hoped two stone might come off then, but nope!

I lost about 12lbs on the day I had DS3.

But best of all I remember weighing myself a week later and seeing that 2.5stone had come off!
It was the best diet in the history of mankind

I dropped 5 Stone!!!!

Never been so slim in my life!!!!!!

With my third I put on more weight than before and it is coming off more slowly ... however I certainly lost a stone as soon as he was born, then another one over the next 10 days. The only thing that is stubbornly refusing to budge is the spare tyre round my middle!!

I had massive oedema w/both girls. Then I had PND and no appetite. I dropped a couple of stone immediately after the birth.

I lost weight with ds1 due to HG up to mid pg; with subsequent weight gain (due to oedema- pre eclampsia) I delivered at my pre-pg weight. I wore a size smaller clothes coming out of maternity than when I fell pg, the mw declared me a mystery!.

With ds2 lost about 12lbs or so I guess, all weight gain lost within next few weeks.

ds3- ah, sorry to say this- gained quite a lot, and it stuck. Got ravenous when bf, too. Ended up with 3.5 stone to lose, which have done.

i put on over 3 stone when i had ds,i was 8st 10lbs and went up 12st 2lbs, when i weighed myself the day after he was born i was amazed to have lost 1 stone and a few pounds, took me another 3months to lose the rest of the weight, but then again ds was 9lbs 2oz

I think I lost about a stone after dd1 and 1.5 stone after dd2, and that was it!! At the end of the day, I put on half a stone with dd1 and half a stone with dd2 and, having tried every diet known to man, that stone is still with me (and I breastfed..)!!

I was very disappointed after i had DD. I put on 4 and a half stone while pregnant and expected it to just all be gona again once i had DD! I weighed myself 2 days after having her and had lost a stone! It took 9months to lose the other 3 and a half stone! However i have now lost another stone on top of that, only another bout 5 to go!!!!!

I weighed myself when I got home from the hospital and had lost only the weight that ds was when he was born! I was gutted. It fell off pretty fast after than though.

I came out of hospital after having DD1 and had lost bugger all. I was quite disproportionately upset. It did start dropping off, but slowly. Took ages to get back to any sort of normality.

I only put on a stone with DD2, and it came off very rapidly indeed.
