I lost 25 lbs after my first one and have only gained 14 with this baby. I hope that the weight loss happens the same with this baby. Just enjoy it!

I only gained 17 lbs but exactly a week later I had lost 19 lbs. Funny how it all works but I loved it!

Yes I gained A LOT! My doc said it was a lot of water weight considering I was putting on like 10 lbs the last 3 weeks! I walked out of the hospital 50 lbs lighter then going in!

That`s fantastic, really. You must feel SO much better! Some people gain a lot of water weight. It sounds like that was the case for you!

yes u lose alot,but it depends on how much u gain that really makes a difference on how u look, for example on my first pregnancy i was 140 pre-pregnancy weigh then i was 200 at 9 months after coming from hospital i was 180 then after breastfeeding for 4 1/2 months i drop to 160.my second pregnancy i was 165 to begin with then i was 209 at 38 weeks(my daughter was born at 38 weeks)then i was 190 after giving birth now i am 170 after 3 months of breastfeeding.i am not breastfeeding anymore because i am going back to work, so now i am stuck with 30 extra pounds since my son was born in 2006. it is kind of deppresing,but if u look at the numbers u do lose alot of weight but it depends how much u gain or lose that makes a big difference on how u look.(i lost almost 40 pounds and i still look fat.:(

i gained 50lbs walked out of the hospital 25 lbs lighter... i am now 4 months pp and i gained it all back. I was 145 before i got pregnant went to a wopping 200lbs when i gave birth and now i am back to 180. :( so depressing!!! I hate my body now. But i love my son so i guess its all worth it. Congrats on loosing the weight!

I only gained 35lb but right after birth (hours after when I was weighed) I had lost 30lb. I lost the rest in about 2 weeks.

Like the others said it depends on several things, how much weight you gained, what your pre-weight was, how big your baby was, how much water weight you had, etc. With my daughter I gained exactly 30 lbs. I was 128 pre pregnancy--158 when I gave birth. I lost 20 lbs having my daughter and was wearing normal clothes the week after I had her and down to smaller than prepregnancy weight within 2 weeks. It is possible! CONGRATS!

carrmommyof3 (1040.6 days ago)
i gained 58 pounds and as soon as my water broke i lost a lot of weight then after having my son i lost all of it almost immediately except for 10 pounds. so i guess it just depends. it could be different for others.

with my first baby I weighed about 175 lbs at 36 weeks had him and in 3 weeks I was back to my 125!!! no exercise it really just fell off!

If its water weight yes! I gained 44 and most of it was gained in the last 5 weeks of pregnancy. I dropped 23 pounds right after having Joel! And all but 5 pounds was gone by the second week :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
