Weight gain after miscarriage

[CeeceeGil]

I lost my baby in July of this year (2016) at 16 weeks pregnant. Before I had got pregnant I had lost 40 lbs from my first pregnancy and maintained my weight for a long period of time. With the pregnancy I miscarried I only gained 5 lbs and then three weeks after the miscarriage I started steadily gaining weight. Now I have gained a total of 15 lbs, but I don't understand why because I workout at least 3 times a week and I eat a healthy diet where I eat nutrient-dense food. So I know I shouldn't be gaining all this weight. My mom went to her doctor (who specializes in hormonal problems) and asked her doctor about the situation and he said that its the way my hormones are acting after miscarriage and it could take a few months to get back to normal. I'm just worried that its not going to get back to normal because I would like to lose the weight I have been gaining so we can try conceive again. Has anybody else been through this or know what I could do?

Stress can do horrible things to our body babe. I wouldn't worry about it too much right now, your body will settle again in time. I had my 3rd loss in April and I've put some weight on too. I had to come off the pill because my body wouldn't regulate afterwards, it just did what it wanted. Good luck x

i gained 4kgs in 4 weeks following mine. I was only a few weeks along too....was eating well. So I quit all forms of sugar (fruit, honey too) and made my portions smaller, started walking. I lost 2kgs in 2 weeks. still trying to lose the other 2. I think your body is simply confused after xx

I gained after my first miscarriage. I am a stress eater for sure though and it didn't help matters. I hope you are doing well.
