How Long Did It Take?

How long did it take you ladies to loose your baby weight? I'm 6 mo and 3 wks today and I've gained around 17 pounds so far, my doc says I should gain around 35. I can still wear my jeansI just wear one of those bella bands around the top and don't button or zip them. My hubby goes to the gym atleast three times a week and I've never had to work out, I've always been naturally thin. But I am worried once my sweet baby boy comes I'll have trouble loosing the weight. My Mom is 5'3 and weighed around 100lbs when she got prego with my sis and she gained like 85 lbs w/her and lost it FAST and only got TWO TINY stretch marks! I hope I am so lucky, not to gain 85 lbs! lol Just thought I'd ask. I'm so glad I found this forum!! Thanks Gals

If you breast feed it will drop fast. Plus don't forget that you have BABY weight. That is the truth. You have gained weight in fluid, blood, baby and placenta. I wouldn't worry. Especially if you are naturally thin anyway.

I gained around 35 pounds. I think I had lost it all by 6 or 7 months pp. I don't remember exactly when. For me it has been a bit hard to lsoe the weight. I don't look that bad and am now under my pre-pregnancy weight but I need to tone up a lot. That has been the worst part. I feel like a deflated baloon sometimes.

hmm. My neighbor lost all hers in 2 weeks. My mom gained 60 her whole pregnancy and lost it in 4 months. My friend ash lost hers in about a month or so.. Depends how much you exercise also how much you gain. ive only gained 28pounds and im 37 weeks.. I don't think ill have a hard time getting rid of my weight.

Just depends, everyone is diffrent.

I had twins, I gained about 30-35 pounds and after the c section I lost 25 pounds, a week after that the water retention was gone and I lost another 5-10 so I only have like 5 more pounds to loose. Im only a month post par. now and still waitin to work out but im not breastfeeding either.
