haha...I voted 5-10, but I came home very. very swollen from IV fluids (way more swollen than I ever got in pregnancy).

Within the first week, I was down 22 lbs total.

II left the hospital the exact same (to the pound!) weight I went in. Thanks IVs!

I need to be able to select multiple options!

With LO1, I lost ~25 lbs. With LO2 I lost ~15. Though I definitely gained more than I should have with both pregnancies.

I think I was down 12 ish

I gained weight technically as I lost nothing (but delivered a placenta + baby). I kid you not.

I had lost all the weight (and the weight I gained at the hospital ) by 2 months.

I wish someone had managed my expectations. The weight doesn't always fall off right after you have the baby -- you can swell or retain fluids.

Somewhere around 11 lbs? 9.5 of that was my baby, though.

Gained 28 while pregnant. Only lost around 9 while I was at the hospital delivering. A lottttt came off the next few days. I had a lot of retained fluid. I was down 20 lbs pretty quickly. (Week or 2?!) can't really remember.

I came home within 10 lbs. of pre-pregnancy weight (gained 32 lbs), but my LO was 10 lbs of it, so it was almost like cheating.

I was down about 10 pounds when I came home. lost 20 in the following weeks. About 3 months postpartum, I was up 10. I had gained about 60 with E, though. So. Much. Swelling.

I was only two pounds down when I got home, but I was really swollen (I had trouble getting my thighs into my maternity yoga pants). But I had lost 3/4 of the baby weight by my six-week postpartum appointment.

I guessed 10-15 bc I was down 20 at my 2 week checkup.

When I weighed myself the day I was discharged(3 days after having DS) I was down 2 pounds! I wanted to cry. I had so much water weight from before I had him, and then it got worse because I had a c-section, and was still super swollen.

My sister went into the hospital at 137lbs and left at 110 when she had my nephew.

I gained roughly 55lbs during pregnancy, I stayed away from the scale until my 6 week appointment. By then I was down 35 lbs. No idea how much I lost right after delivery, but it probably wasn't much. I was still incredibly swollen when I left the hospital.

22! I had twins, though. My daughter was only 5lbs, so I'd say if I had just had my son, I would have walked out between 10 and 15 down.

I don't have a scale so I don't know, but I'm guessing at least 15. I had an almost 9 lb baby and didn't have any IV fluid.

I lost a ton, but I was retaining like mad. Don't be surprised if you go home weighing more!

I lost 16, however I was extremely swollen when I went to the hospital and I left slightly less swollen when I left.

I then GAINED weight when I went on the pill so I've got a lot to loose now.

I lost 25 while in the hospital for my first, it was a C section so we were there 4 days. I wasn't really retaining fluid though. I don't remember weighing myself after my second. It is totally normal to leave weighing the same as when you came in - my OB said they recommend people not even weigh themselves.

3 days post birth I had lost 18 pounds and was back at my pre pregnancy weight. I didn't have an IV so that helped. I also had a 9 pound baby so most of that weight was him!

Even though I am the same weight I feel totally different... I can't wait to start exercise again.

With all the fluids I gained from induction I think I went home heavier
