My first pregnancy ... I gained 45 lbs and by the 4-5 week mark I had not only lost almost all of that, but I was back in my pre-pregnancy size.
I gained about 60 lbs before I got pregnant this second time around from medication. I didn't gain that much during the pregnancy. I'm 6 weeks postpartum and I've lost that plus 10 additional pounds. However, I'm in the next size up. I would like to get closer to my original pre-pregnancy weight but I'm just wondering if I should go ahead and get clothes in this bigger size. I go back to work after Christmas and I've only got sweatpants and leggings that fit. The main issues seem to be that my hips are bigger and I've got the loose skin above my c-section incision, so I'm guessing those will take a while to get rid of.
