Hello,

My body seems to be doing things the wrong way round! I only gained a stone whilst pregnant (am a plus size) and 2 weeks after giving birth was 5lbs under where I started. I have since gained 10lbs in last 6 weeks. shock

Had c-section and was at home a lot but walking a lot now and my darling baby is breastfeeding like she has been starved for a week. It is hard as feeding makes me really hungry, I am eating healthily but still gaining weight arghhh. Wish my appetite would decrease and don't want to mess my milk up by dieting. Any suggestions?

Get the GP to do a thyroid function test. Underactive thyroid is very common in new mothers, and might explain your weight gain.
