I weighed myself the day I went into labor and when I got home from the hospital and I weighed exactly the same! I had a c section and an IV and retained a ton of fluid. My feet and ankles were huge. By 2.5 weeks pp I was back down to my pre pregnancy weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417637 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 18:38:58 +0000 MoonMoon 2417637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: this was my experience with #1.

Some of you lost so much! I gained 40. 125 prepregnancy, 165 at term. I was 152 a day after I came home. DS is 4.5 months and I've lost it all. I'm on a very restrictive diet for BFing and still losing. So I'm grateful for every pound I gained!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417633 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 18:35:41 +0000 MoonMoon 2417633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came home 2 days after LO was born and I had lost 24-25 lbs from the last time I'd weighed myself in pregnancy (a few days before going to the hospital). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417626 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 18:28:24 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2417626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>23lbs.

And my baby was over 7.5 lbs. I had so much fluid. They left me on the iv for sooo long. </p> <p>I was down within 5lbs of my starting weight really quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417558 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:22:02 +0000 winniebee 2417558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lose the weight really slowly. I gain 30 lbs each pregnancy (110 pre pregnancy) and only have 5 lb babies. I lose 12 off the bat and hang onto 20 lbs for a long time. Pretty sure at 6 weeks post partum I had 15 lbs to go Then by 5m post partum maybe 5 lbs to go, lost it all right around 6 months. I'm 35 and exercise reguarly (not sure if that matters). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417557 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:21:43 +0000 sarac 2417557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the hospital, almost nothing! 22 pounds lost by about 3 weeks, though. Had to do weight watchers for the last 5 pounds, and now I'm working on 20 more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417552 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:19:08 +0000 PrincessBaby 2417552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DD2 I gained 32 lbs. I was 125 prepreg, and 157 on the day I delivered. I didn't weigh myself immediately PP, I didn't want to stress myself! But at 4 weeks PP I was still 145 when I weighed and I almost became suicidal that I hadn't lost any more! Being sarcastic, obviously, but 20lbs of weight loss seemed so daunting at the time! I cracked down like a madwoman on diet and exercise and I was 125 by 10 weeks PP. I was comfortably wearing my size 2s by 8/9ish weeks.</p> <p>My labor was super fast so the iv wasn't the culprit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417548 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:17:56 +0000 kodybear 2417548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dd - 20 out of 28lb that i gained<br /> ds - 18 out of 32lb that i gained </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417544 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:16:47 +0000 meganmp 2417544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gained 25 lbs, lost 23 of it in the hospital.

I was picturing a biggest loser triumphant moment when I hopped up on the scale and couldn't believe I hadn't lost anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417514 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:06:20 +0000 chibee 2417514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like right when i got home from the hospital i realized i was only down like 8lbs (weight of the baby) but i think i was back to pre-pregnancy weight after 4 weeks. I think nursing and generally being too stressed out to eat or sleep had a lot to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417508 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:02:57 +0000 Pumuckl 2417508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 75% of the weight gained during pregnancy was gone once I left the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-weight-did-you-lose-immediately-postpartum#post-2417507 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:01:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 2417507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol, NONE. Like seriously - not one ounce. I entered the hospital at 167, had an 8 lb. baby + placenta + tons of fluid and left the hospital at 167. thank you IVs. </p> <p>It took forever for my body to "regulate" itself and lose the weight - even the water weight. </p>
