How many pounds have you lost after your baby postpartum and how soon?

Question

Ahh! I'm soooo upset. I gained 50 pounds during my pregnancy. I was 130lb before and 180lb after. Now 5 weeks postpartum i only lost 30 pounds. How soon will I loose it all? Oh and do stretchmarks ever disappear? I have the ones from being pregnant and getting more from shrinking!!!!!

Answer 1

Had a baby boy 2 weeks and 2 days ago, lost 3 pounds during pregnancy, and after pregnancy, after taking 2 water pills (Prescribed) and 2 blood pressure pills (prescribed) a day, I lost 27 pounds since July 1...:)  so now I am 30 pounds less than when I got pregnant, its AwesOME!  (my doctor had me weighed twice, and also had a nurse confirm that my face and body looked smaller than at my other appointments) And I had a healthy, 8lb, 7oz. little boy, and NO, I didn't starve myself during pregnancy, ate what I normally ate while not pregnant, I was just very very lucky!

well before i even got preggo i was 125 then when i was 9 months i was 175 and after him I was 155 i then lost 16 pounds in 2 months and gained 25 later. i was 160 when i decided to get in a serious diet and i lost 25 pounds i was 135 in march of this year and i already gained so know im 145 but im trying to loss them and my son is 3 years old already...

Answer 3

i weighed 96lbs (im 5'0 btw) and i weighed 145 the day i had my baby i now weigh 98 lbs and my son is 3 yrs old i alost my weight completely without going on a strict diet and working out 3 times a week it took me a year so if you are more set on a faster way then exercise more and diet.

Answer 4

Losing 30 pounds is great. The rest of the weight was not from the baby and that is why it is harder to get off, I am amazed you have lost 30 in 5 weeks. Stretch marks will fade in color but they never disappear, sorry.
