But then Jina (the first) weighed only 5lb3 oz at one month early when she was born. Ryan (2nd) weighed 9lb 3 oz 3 weeks early. I thought I would never lose all the weight I gained with him. Actually I never did until now I am finally back to my pre-pregnancy with Ryan weight & he is now 18yo. I hope you do much better than I did. Feel free to vent here. I feel ya girl. Hang in there. |
Well, I actually indulged quite a bit there with my first so towards the end I really blew up. It doesn't help that you usually bloat up again anyways.
I started working off that weight gain, I put on 39 lbs with him and he only weighed 6lbs 10.3oz at birth and he came a little early. I stopped when I realized I was probably gonna gain a lot again with the second so I just tried to stay in the same weight range. This one already measures a week bigger than he should so he might come early too. This is going to be a planned C-Sect since my 1st was an emergency one so we will see if we make it to that date or not. I had nausea with this one so I lose weight in the beginning and wasn't a big deal since I started out a little over weight! All I know is once I heal it's on to get back in shape. I already asked Bonnie if she would assist me in some food ideas and work out regimes to get in shape. I'm done after this and time to enjoy life in a healthy way. It's hard to not indulge when it doesn't matter what size your tummy is.
Thanks, I am!!! The stretching is so uncomfortable this time though, strange.
