02-7-2009 - 6 weeks post partum

My mood while writing this blog: eehhh ok

---

So i had my 6 week post partum checkup today and it went ok. I weighed 166 today and weighed 184 at the end of my pregnancy. so i've lost 18 lbs. pre pregnancy weight was 145 so i still have quit a bit to go. I get so depressed because i started working out last week and eating better right after i had my son and i haven't lost any weight for the last 2-3 weeks. Doctor said to give it time and that most women at 6 weeks pp weigh what they were when they were 26 weeks pregnant so that i'm a little ahead of the game according to him. I don't know this weight loss thing is just too depressing, 80% of my prepregnant clothes dont fit me, i put some jeans on and they don't even go up my thighs, i feel flabby, uuugghh, so moving on, i'm going to get the IUD mirena inserted next week so doctor said no sex till after that, which my boyfriend wasn't too happy about but i dont really mind considering my sex drive is at a halt right now. Anybody every get the an IUD for birth control? And is it painful or anything? Any good or bad experiences with it?

I hear you on all the issues you are facing. Im 10 weeks PP and I still havent budged in weight. Its funny though more clothes are starting to fit so I dont knw how that works. I have 14 pounds to lose to be at prepregnancy weight. A big suggestion for the flabbiness is use a girdle or something to hold your belly in. Another thing I got the IUD in a 7 weeks pp but I got the paraguard because I am breastfeeding and it doesnt have any hormones. It is copper and my dr said that more than 90% of woman dont feel pain during insertion but omg I had to get shots down there so i wouldnt feel the pain and those shots hurt bad too so I can only imagine. Another thing I got my first period when she put the IUD in and then 2 1/2 weeks later I started again so I dont know if that is an effect of the IUD. Also my sex drive is right there with you. I feel bad though for hubbie since I wasnt allowed for a long time during the pregnancy either. Anyway dont worry so much about the weight it will come off slowly over the course of time. We didnt gain all that weight in 6 or 10 weeks. It took 9 months so at least give your self a realisic goal and course the girls that lost it all in just 6 weeks. LOL Jk but really. Smile

the weight will start shedding off out of nowhere. i dunno exactly why it happens but i use to work in a gym for many years lol so i know a lil something about fitness. it's happened to me before the weight just came off out of nowhere and fast like in a month of working out.
