2188958 tn?1346444891 I think that was the key to me losing weight, bc as soon as I stopped nursing gained the weight back. My second it took about 6 months to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, and again I stayed skinny until I stopped breastfeeding, then I gained about 15 lbs. With this pregnancy I am much older, and I have gained so much weight already that I doubt I will lose it all very quickly, if at all :/ I plan to work out if I can this time.
Avatar f tn It is normal for some women to loose weight. I lost weight with my first two kids. This time around i've lost 40 lbs and i'm 26 weeks along. My doctor says as long as i'm keeping liquids down thats the most important.
Avatar n tn As the first comment correctly stated, losing weight fast doesn't last and leaves you weaker, which you don't want to be if you're getting ready for basic training. Why not wait to join the military until you're ready?

Avatar f tn Trouble losing weight? Painful ovulation? When was the last time you had sex? What medications are you on? Has your diet changed? What other medical issues do you have? Is this your first abnormal cycle? Have you had children? If so, vaginally or by c-section?
29837 tn?1414534648 Going into the hospital, I weighed 185 (my normal weight). Upon release I now weighed 192. This after having been denied food for 9 days, then 6 days of regular diet Lately, I noticed my watch is not tight on my wrist anymore, I weighed myself yesterday. I now weigh 175 lbs. This is the weight I weighed at 27 years old. For many years now, my weight has been 185. The now weight of 175 lbs. is a loss of 17 lbs. in less than 3 weeks after leaving the hospital.
Avatar n tn You're not going to believe me, but I promise you that if you do try what I say, you will lose weight, feel great, and have more energy to conceive another beautiful baby girl (or boy). I'm 30 years old, and my daughter is 8 months old (also delivered by c-section), and right now, I am in the best shape of my life. I can see my abs. I haven't been sick since I began my new outlook on eating/life, and I feel great everyday.

I am 42 yrs old and the doctors have told me I am too young to get hyster. but I have severe bleeding for 10 days at a time and my bloodwork Iron is low and severe cramps and pain. I just wondered if anyone had a positive story to give me some hope!
Avatar n tn Anyhow Effexor did wonders for my attitude however after 3 years I am now convinced that it was the cause for all the excess weight. Anyhow I was wondering if the weight comes off after I get off the meds? or am I stuck with excess weight forever in which case I will be contacting my doctor because they lied to me.

Avatar f tn I put on 37lbs with my son last year. I lost a lot of it during delivery and the weeks following. Then I did next to notjing and went back to my normal diet and was back to my prepregnancy within 8mths. I just wanted to focus on my baby so didn't worry that much about it. This time ive been more careful tho and have only gained 12lbs so far at 32wks so I'm hoping its mostly baby.
Avatar n tn Some other tips even if you are not over weight losing some pounds can increase chance of getting pregnant. Drink some hot tea is something I heard helps...I do not know why I guess it helps with relaxation. You are still young I was 25 when I had my first and 35 with my last.

Avatar f tn Soak in Epsom salt! It's supposed to help with water retention, my mom's retained water horribly since having kids and it's the only thing that really helps her. She gets horrible swelling from it. Also wear compression socks it will help too.
