Anyone have rapid weightloss after birth?

I was down do my pre-preg weight 4 hours after birth.

I lost around a further 1.5 stone within a couple of months.

Yes, but it didn't make me happy. I've always been underweight, it was such a struggle to gain weight during pregnancy. But then since having my LO the weight fell off so fast.

I gained 31lbs during pregnancy. One week postpartum I had lost 25lbs. Now, almost 5 months postpartum, I'm 11lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight. I was/am definitely surprised!

Yup! I lost all 35 pounds gained just 2 weeks postpartum. I'm currently 15 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight. I thought it was breastfeeding, but I stopped at 6 months and am still maintaining this weight. Maybe stress/forgetting to eat? No idea, but I'm enjoying it.

I posted the same trend after my LO. I was thinner a week after giving birth than I was when I got pregnant.

I've actually gained weight since having my LO so becareful. Although the cake has been worth it and needed!

Think it's quite normal... Especially if you didn't put on much weight to begin with! I put on 18lbs and weighed 9st 2lb pre preg and after birth I weighed 9st 8lb and then the weight just dropped off and back to 9st2lb. I'm not breast feeding! I just don't have time to eat!

However many people say I look thinner than before but think its because my body has changed.... X

I am a stone lighter than pre both pregnancies and def at least one or two dress sizes smaller!

Yup perfectly normal!
Pre pregnancy I was 80kg
While pregnant I got up to 90, 5 days after birth when I went home I was 75.

I can't do math at the moment but 1kg= 2.2 pounds!

I am 3 weeks from my C-section and I have lost 28lbs of the 33lbs I gained during pregnancy, only 5lbs to go. All I have done is breastfeed and lay around, that and I keep forgetting to eat (not great for breastfeeding!).

I have not tried any pre-pregnancy clothes because of my C-section incision, I am still wearing my pj pants I wear everywhere (Yes, I went out and bought pj pants that look like "regular" pants enough to wear out).
