Preg weight loss fashion question

[skyblue27]

Ok so in this photo firstly I want to know despite the preg belly (32 weeks) does it appear to fit ok?

Also this might sound like a stupid question but never mind, ok so let's say the baby comes out weighing 8lbs, if I weigh myself a couple days later should I weigh 8lbs less?

Anyone

Dress looks really nice.

You will loose more than the weight of the baby - there's all the fluid, placenta and goodness knows what else to come out too. I weighed myself the morning I was induced with DS1, he was 9lb 6oz but by the time he was a week old I'd lost a stone and a half!

Dress looks lovely
You will lose more that the weight of the baby, but there's no formula for how much it will be.

Yes you lose more but it depends on how much you put on! I luckily (or unluckily given sickness!) but on just baby and extras. So about 2 weeks post partum lost all the baby weight. However my body has changed as I am bigger in the ribs/boobs/hips/tum despite weighing the same as pre baby so think your body has to settle down z

I’ve always (3 children) lost about a stone from the birth. Babies haven’t been massive 7lb 10oz - 8lb 14oz. Don’t forget it’s not just baby in there - placenta, amniotic fluid, some blood... You’ll also sweat out more of the excess water your body has retained after the birth (I know that doesn’t sound very glamorous but I wish someone had told me about the night sweats before I had my first!)

Oh gosh yes the night sweats! I also had no idea!

The dress looks lovely.

You’ll lose way more weight than just the weight of the baby. I lost a stone and a half in the first four months just from fluid retention etc etc. Its the remaining stone and a half I can’t shift now!
