I breastfed No exercise.

I can't remember how much I gained with my second, and the baby was larger too even though he came out at 38 weeks. I know with my second it took a tad bit longer to lose the weight and I also didn't have the bad swelling as I did with my first.

But even after both pregnancies, my weight went right back to how it was when I was 14. LOL

I was thinking of not breastfeeding this baby until I remembered the fact that your uterus goes back into shape and the calories you burn while doing so

I'm a bit worried to as now I am almost 39 and who knows what could happen after this one. However, through all pregnancies I've not had cravings and eat the way I normally have and tend to not eat much junk, if at all.

I'm going on 13 weeks soon and have already gained 8 lbs. but looking back in my pregnancy journals, that's the weight I gained with them as well at this point in pregnancy.

Truly, gals, you will be so busy after the baby is born and with breastfeeding, you don't really have to worry about losing the weight Keep your chins up. I know how tough it is to have gained so much weight, and how one can get so worried at this present time in pregnancy. I am very weight conscious and getting bigger was hard on me, so I understand where the concerns lie


ETA I truly think you will be fine and will have your weight all gone by September...probably even by summer

k===i just had my baby=== 3 weeks tomorrow--- i gained a total of 46 lbs and have already lost about 26lbs or more of that ---simply due to water retention--- i left the hospital looking about 5 months preggo--- and now i'm guessing i loook about 2 months along--- i still have a sagging tummy of course but i can safely hide it under my pregnancy pants and not look pregnant ---look more like just a lil chubbyness around the midsection==(and no i havent even attempted to wear my pre=pregnancy clothes cause i'm afraid of being depressed about it so i'm waiting until my 6 weeks postpartum are up to actually see whats left to work with) ---so no worries everyone--- even gaining a ton of weight like i did u can lose a lot of it with doing nothing ---i've literally done nothing but take it easy and breastfeeding
