My partner is putting pressure on me to lose weight quickly after my baby is born ( I'm 8 months pregnant). Before I had my first baby I was quite slim, about 8 1/2 stone ( I'm 5 5") and a size 8. I didn't put on too much weight during the last pregnancy, about 1 3/4 stone, but afterwards I couldn't lose it at all, despite breast feeding, exercising and watching my diet. I also felt very exhausted all the time and it turned out I had developed thyroid disease during the pregnancy and had a very underactive thyroid. The consultant said I had done well not to gain weight, let alone lose it and that it could take up to a year to get my blood levels back to normal.
However, 6 months later I fell pregnant again ( not planned). My Dp is making comments about my size as I have gained about 1 1/2 stone in this pregnancy and still have another month to go.I am beginning to panic as I don't know how to lose the weight after this baby is born.I tried really hard last time and got nowhere. It's hard enough to look after 2 children under 18 months without starving yourself and finding time to exercise! When I'm breast feeding I feel ravenous!
I am getting so down about this , I don't know what to do.
