6 weeks after birth, Is this normal?

Question

6 Weeks after giving birth i'm still eating like a pig (lol)?

Is that normal?

Before i got pregnant i didn't eat much at all but that soon changed and i'm still eating loads!

Answer 1

my mom is a nurse and she said that if your nursing then it is but if you aren't the it isn't.

Answer 2

I do too lol

Answer 3

Yuppers. It is going to take a while for your hormones and body to return to normal.

Answer 4

while breastfeeding yes its normal,

but you could be thirsty and not necessarily hungry. make sure your drinking enough liquids.

also if i remember correctly my friend who was bottlefeeding was eating for enegy as you do lack in that department for a while, i think 18 years after lol!!

Answer 5

I'm breastfeeding and I can't stop eating.  While pregnant, I had to force feed myself and now I eat almost every two hours.  The hard part is choosing healthy foods over cookies and crackers.

Answer 6

Congrats ont he birth of your little one and now lets get to the answer

Totally normal, your stomached stretched out in the nine months that you were pregnant and it will take a while to get back to pre-pregnaacy size. It has been five months and my eating habits are still out of wack.

Answer 7

are you nursing your baby? if so that could be it :)

Answer 8

Yes- especially if you're breast feeding.  

Answer 9

Sure, especially if you're breast feeding. If you're not breast feeding you may just have the lingerings of a bad habit you got into while pregnant so you may want to chill out on the nosh if you don't want to start packing on the pounds.

Answer 10

If your breast feeding, most definately normal.  If you not, it could be part of your body still recovering, but it shouldn't last too much longer unless you allow yourself to eat like  that.

Answer 11

Yes it is normal if you're breast feeding.  I am in the same boat and I find that my appetite is slightly less if I drink lots of water.
