How much weight loss after birth?
My baby was just born last week, and I'm wondering about getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight. How much weight loss can I expect right after birth? Is it immediate or does it take time?
My baby was just born last week, and I'm wondering about getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight. How much weight loss can I expect right after birth? Is it immediate or does it take time?
I'm still struggling with this. I lost about 5-6 kgs right after delivery, but then it just stopped! Is it normal for it to slow down so much? Did anyone else feel like they were stuck after the initial loss?
Hey, don't worry too much about the numbers right after birth. You naturally lose about 5-6 kgs from the baby's weight, placenta, and amniotic fluid immediately. Then, over the next few weeks, more fluid comes off. The rest takes time, patience, and a healthy lifestyle.
Please remember that weight loss after birth can also be impacted by postpartum health. I ignored feeling constantly exhausted and some swelling, thinking it was just part of recovery. Turns out I had some issues that slowed my progress. Always talk to your doctor if you have concerns, don't just wait it out.
I've heard friends talk about losing quite a bit immediately, like the baby's weight and then some. So like 5-7 kgs just after delivery. The rest takes time with exercise and diet, apparently. Interesting how the body just changes.
Ho na, delivery ke immediately baad toh 5-6 kilo toh nikal hi jaata hai, baby aur paani ka weight. Baaki ka weight slowly-slowly kam hota hai. Breastfeeding se bhi help milti hai, but har kisi ki body alag hoti hai, tension mat lo.
Woohoo, right after delivery, you lose a good chunk immediately, like 5-7 kgs, including the baby, placenta, and fluids! 🎉 The rest is a journey, so be kind to yourself. You just did an amazing thing! 🥰

After birth, you'll immediately lose the baby's weight, placenta, and amniotic fluid, which is usually around 5-7 kgs. The remaining pregnancy weight comes off over several months. Focus on nutrient-dense foods and, once cleared by your doctor, incorporate gentle exercise. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Right after birth, you lose the baby's weight and all the fluids, which is usually a good few kilos. The rest will come off slowly with time. Just take care of yourself and the baby.
