Re: how much weight do you loose just from giving birth??

I lost 17 lbs, my DD was 6 lbs 11 oz so i guess the rest was water, but i also lost another 13 lbs within 2 weeks after having her since i was so bloated with water the first few weeks. Unfortunately i gained 50 pregnant so i still have 20 to go.

Honestly - I didn't weigh myself until my 6 week check up.

The placenta, the amniotic fluid, and you also build up your blood volume.

I lost 10lbs by the next day.

It's been one week and I've lost a total of 27lbs.

But I still have a ways to go since I gained 60lbs.

the average is about 12 pounds. I have no idea what I lost because I did not weigh myself until I went for my 6 week pp checkup. I lost all my wieght by then.

I gained 45lbs and weighed 175 when I gave birth. I don't have scale in our house but by 5 weeks pp I weighed 147. I put on a few pounds since them. DS was 8lbs when he was born and I think I lost the most after I gave birth to him. I also breastfeed for 5.5 weeks so I think that also helped alot also.
