Welcome to the Pregnant and Nursing Forum!

HI, I'm nursing my 4th (2 month old) and still have weight to loose from my first (10YO)
I find myself to be much hungrier and thirstier when nursing, I'm hoping to start keeping a food journal to keep track of all the calories.

Hi Everyone,
I am about 7 weeks pregnant and keeping it a secret is torture, so at least I can talk about it anonymously on these forums! I am a "featherweight" who recently lost 17 pounds. I am trying not to gain weight in these first weeks, but it is really hard to tell what is going on with my body. I've had it pretty easy with symptoms so far (boobs hurt just a little; feel like I have permanent PMS) and due to bloating (ugh) my weight fluxes about 5 pounds depending on how much salt I ate the day before.

I am excited and SO ready for a baby. I want to know how many of you lost weight quickly while breastfeeding. I have heard from friends that the weight just "falls off." Other people say you are so hungry it makes it harder to lose...

When I had my 4th kid I lost weight super fast breastfeeding, but I just had my 5th kid and im breastfeeding hom and im not losing the weight as fast.as I want. He is 4 months old now, I weighed 215 when I gave birth and im now 180. I weighed 140 before I got prego, god im so depressed. Boo. How long will it take this time???? I know last time I was thin by the time my son was 7 or 8 months old and I didnt excercise at all just breastfeed and thats it.

**Waving to Everyone**

Im sooo glad I found this site. I just had a baby 21 days ago and I also have a 15month old. Im nursing the baby and hoping to drop 50 pounds at the same time.
Im counting calories, toting 2 kids around and excercising a little in the mean time.

Prior to delivering my 2 baby girls I weighed 180 pounds. I lost weight for my wedding and dropped down to 145 pounds ...then came the babies. Im hoping to get to 150pounds within the next few months. Keep your fingers crossed
