How long did it take everyone to loose their baby weight after birth?
I'm bridesmaid at my sister's wedding two months after my due date 🙈

Everyone is different. For me about 8 months. Someone I worked with came home from hospital and put their normal size 8 jeans and looked no different

Depends on the person, weight gained and I believe age. After my first child I was less than pre pregnancy weight in less than a week after giving birth. Weight just fell off naturally. I was 18 at the time.

With second child aged 29 I'm still 2 sizes too big two months after having baby and am struggling to shift the weight

Hello!
When are you due? I've trained women post pregnancy (once they've been given the all clear from the doc, so between 6-8 weeks post birth), and we've seen some great results. If you're able to really prioritise great quality, nutritionally balanced food (hard to do with a newborn!) then this will be a great help until you can exercise again. Have you had an active pregnancy? In my experience that has helped with returning to pre baby weight. If you want any advice, please feel free to ask : ) Sarah x

My last baby I was back in my pre pregnancy jeans within a few weeks but very minimal weight gain whilst pregnant and breast feeding helps!!

I never lose it all until my child is about 8, 9 months old, starts eating solids and my periods return. The last 3kg or so just sits there and then drops off suddenly after weaning starts. It's a complex process with a lot of hormonal interactions. But it usually takes at least as long to come off as it took to put on.
