:lol: Hey Girls!

I was just wondering if any of you actually lost weight after having your baby... I mean I just assumed you physically would lose the weight of the child, placenta & water.. but never actually weighted myself before giving birth so don't know how much I was... or after so don't I don't know if there was an diffrence.

I asked my mum and said she lost nothing after having me, said the midwife laughted at her when she asked about it saying something to the effect that everyone assumes they will but no one actually does.. my mum was really surprised!

:lol: & cause I didn't check before having Charlie/after I don't actually know either!? I just assumed surely you must be a bit lighter as the baby is like half a stone or more... at least!! lol

did any of you girls notice a diffrence? & what was the weight of your baby?

lol see if we can get a proper conclusion!?? x

i put on 2 stone in pregnancy and lost a stone straight away ( weighed 2 days after having macey) and kept a stone and still didnt get rid of it and now on baby number 2!!!

I put on 3 stone with my first pregnancy and weighed myself a week after giving birth and had lost a stone and a half and my lo weighed 6lb 12oz.

I put on a stone with my second pregnancy, and weighed myself 3 days after giving birth and had lost the stone and lo weighed 8lb 2oz

Put on about 2 stone when pregnant with DS, lost a stone and a half of it within 3 days of having him (he was 9lb then there was all the other bits and bobs!!) and the rest within 6 weeks. With DD I put on just over 2 stone, again lost a stone and a half within a week the rest within a couple of months. I reckon you go back to looking about 5/6 month pg once bubba's out!

with baby no.1 i was 9 stone when i fell pregnant, 9 stone 2 the week before i had him, and 8 stone 2 days after i had him, he weighed 4lbs 11 oz (4 weeks prem)

baby no 2, i was 11 stone 6 when i found out i was pregnant (very overweight for my height) i didnt weigh myself during the pregnancy but i was 10 stone a week after i had him. He weighed 7lbs 6oz (2 weeks prem)

baby no.3, i was 10 stone when i fell pregnant, 10 stone 6 just before i had her, and she's 9 weeks now and i weigh just under 9 stone. She weighed 5lbs 8oz (4 weeks prem)
I would just like to point out that pregnancy makes me very ill, i'm not dieting or trying to lose weight whilst pregnant! I'm only 4'11 so should only be around 8 stone, so i can afford to lose the weight really xx

well i feel like a real porker now! i was never slim but i was 11 stone before and i was 15 and half at end and now i am just under 15 dont know how i maanged it as i spent most of preg head down loo throwing up, and now i mean i dont eat junk, oh well shes worth it they all are!

wow i feel bad now, i was 9stone at my booking in appointment around 6 weeks and weighed roughly around 13 stone when i had him, i managed to put on around 4 stone as i had the most insatiable appetite the WHOLE way through and was lucky enough not to have any sickness. My son weighed 7lb 8oz and about 2/3 days later had lost around a stone and a half. Am having to work hard to get rid of the rest though have been going to the gym and now weigh around 10.5 stone although am back in size 10/12 was an 8/10 before!!! MY aim is to be slightly tonned and back to normal by christmas!! xxsam xx

When I had Ashton I put on a stone and a half and lost just about all of it within 2 weeks of having him. This time round I am 6 months pregnant at the moment and so far I am a pound lighter than I was when I fell pregnant. Don't know how though as I have a huge bump! xxxx

Hi, i think i put on about five stone when preg but lost three stone three days after he was born. I had PE so was full of fluid and jake was 9lb 2oz x

i put on 4 and a half stone during pregnancy, Molly weighed 10lbs 14ozs and the placenta weighed a few pounds I weighed a stone and a half less pretty much straight after birth and now (nearly) 9 months later i am back to pre pregnancy weight and a dress size smaller?!!! i eat for Scotland so breast feeding has def played a big part in loosing the weight!!!

Hi i weighed 15 stone 5lb when i got pregnant with max, then after i weighed 13 stone 9lb and then i lost a further stone but wasnt miracle weight loss i had gallstones all throughout the pregnancy and after so i put my weight loss down to that! i'm 5ft11.

with my first I went from 7st 10 to 11st 10.4 stone!!!!!!!!!!! She was 7lbs and i weighed myself in hospital ( how vain is that??) when she was 4 days old and I was 9st. Within 4 weeks I was 7 and a half stone and had to make myself put weight on as I looked awful. I was soon up to 8 and stayed till my 2nd... put on just 3 stone and only lost 1 after delivery. Lost a bit but only ever got back to about 10 stone. Dont even go there with 3rd 4th or 5th..Put it this way I am about 11 and a half stone and dont see me ever getting back to my slim ways...more so that I am 40 tomorrow!!!!!!!! gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put on about 1stone when I was pg, Riley was only 4lb7. I lost it all straight away and a few weeks after having Riley I went to the Dr's to sort out contraception and they weighed me and said I was lighter then than I was the same time last year.

I put on almost 3 stone when i was pregnant. Went from 8stone 2lbs to 10st 12 the day before i gave birth. Weighed myself when ui got home from hospital and was 10lbs 6oz (which is funny cos ava weighed 6lb 3oz so it didnt even seem that i lost the weight of her)

My weight then hovered around 9stone after the first month and dropped to 7st 12 by the time she was about 4 months old. The funny thing is i ate loads and did NO exercise.
I purposefully wanted to put on a bit of weight and am now a happy 8stone 3 and my daughter is 10months. Tummy is flat and stretchmark free but not as toned as it used to be so starting a hula hooping class next week. Wish me luck xxx

i was 9stone pre pregnancy and went up to 10 stone at 32 weeks when dd was born. i spent 3 days in hosptial and weighed when i came home and was 9st 3 after 3 days then 9st 5 days after birth. 3 weeks after birth i was 8.5 stone
