Loosing weight ......

I lost weight, I think at one point I was down 4kg. But I am plus-sized, and I think thats pretty normal. Someone I know (who is larger than me) lost 13kg.

I would be concerned though, since you are looking run down. Maybe a check-up at the GP?

I was 5kgs lighter than when i got pregnant with my first ont he day i had her so that tells me that i lost about 17 - 18kgs while I was pregnant, I didnt do anything different but peoples bodies react differently.

With my last I put on 14kgs in the first half of my pregnancy and then lost 4kgs in the last half so i think its just the way bodies react. If you have extra to lose I dont think its too dangerous for your baby but if you are looking wiped out then perhaps getting a general checkup might be a good idea.

I had put on 2kgs by the end of the 2nd trimester and I never had MS, I gained a total of 7kgs all pregnancy.

I'm now 5kgs lighter than when I started.

I was a size 20+ before and during pregnancy now I'm a size 16-18.

How do you feel - do you feel run down? Probably a silly question considering you are pregnant but people always freak out about me and iron as my natural colouring is sheet white and i'm just fine.

A GP check couldn't hurt if you are a bit worried.

Sounds like a good plan, better safe than sorry.

Hi am I bigger as well and have lost 4kg so far. I seem to have taste for different things so not eating so much sweet foods. I am fast learning that no two pregnancies are the same.

Clinicians (spelling!) do a really good multivit for pregnancy called pregavit. It's a bit more expensive but I found it helped more than the supermarket vits, you get this one at the chemist.

Good luck

Only fourteen weeks. But gaining weight again. Was 60 kgs about 6 weeks ago, last week for about a month and a bit was at my lowest of 54. Now 56 :)
Dont know if its good or not for a small person haha my midwife just called me a lucky one joking she had never been that light lol. No morning sickness or anything for weight loss, just presuming the bebe is sucking it all up :D

I was on 5 iron tablets when pregnant with my first! Its not bad for you if you need it, which I did, HB was very very low(with my second I was in hospital having an iron infusion at 36 weeks cos it was at 80). So 2 iron pills is very standard.

hi ladies, first time poster here! I'm only just UTD with my 2nd baby (7weeks) and have a 6yr old girl too. When I was pregnant with her I lost 12 kgs from start to finish, not to mention the 3kg I lost when she was born. I had MS from day one until I gave birth, and have my fingers crossed for a smoother pregnancy this time round! (p.s I was 70kg when I fell pregnant so could afford to drop a few lbs at the time!)

I put on 15kg my last pregnancy and most of that was put on in the first trimester because of MS And then in the last trimester a lot of my gain was also fluid retention. 7 weeks after birth I am now 13kg off my pre preg weight I read somewhere that 12 - 18kg is the normal range.

If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose the weight you accumulated during pregnancy.

The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week.

Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster.

Yoga burns calories when done the right way.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week.

This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me during my pregnancy when I started gaining too much weight.

Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level.

If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results.

Good luck!
