Did you lose weight easily after your baby was born?

Losing weight after my two kids were born was quite difficult. The stress of waking up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby did not help; I tend to eat when I am stressed out.I joined the gym and took up walking every day. I finally was able to lose all that weight after 6 months.

I'm not that big when I'm pregnant the child was more big I still have my normal weight. That's why it is easy for me to trim down when I gave birth.

In our households our women normally go to their parents' place for childbirth where they are pampered heavily after childbirth for about three to four months. We tend to put on a lot of weight at this stage and it actually takes a long time to reduce body fat acquired then. I am normally a slim person but I too gained a lot of weight after pregnancy and childbirth. Mine was a twin pregnancy [one was a still-born] and I was quite huge at the time of pregnancy and it continued for quite some time after the child was born.

Yes, I lost weight soon as I gave birth. but now, my kids are grown ups and I am getting older- I start to gain weight and hard to trimmed down

I have had 5 children - their ages range from 40 - 16. When I had my first 3 children in my 20's I actually lost weight during my pregnancies - in fact when I had my first I was 3 stone lighter when I had her. However as I had my last 2 children at 38 and 45 I found it worked the other way, and although I actually lost weight through illness when I was pregnant as soon as I gave birth I put it all back on - and lots more!
