Forum : Pregnancy

i have had two different experiences.
with my first baby i was 8 1/2 stone and size 8-10. once baby was born i went up to 10 stone and size 10-12 but had no interest in losing my baby weight - i had too much else to focus on. 2 years after she was born i went on weight watchers and lost 2 stone in 3 months and got back down to what i was pre-baby! when i fell pregnant with my 2nd in march 2011 i weighed 9 stone and was size 10. during my 2nd pregnancy i went up to 11 stone and wondered how on earth i was ever going to get back to what i was! when baby was born 8 weeks ago i weighed 10 and a half stone. to my absolute surprise 2 weeks after she was born i was back in my size 12 jeans. i rejoined weight watchers last week and have already lost 1lb (so i'm now 10 stone 6 lbs) and am now back in some of my size 10 clothes. i have no idea why it has been different this time round but it seems to have come off quicker. i can therefore recommend weight watchers, but what i will also say i dont let it worry you. i am 2 stone overweight - for my height i should be 8 1/2 stone but looking after a baby is hard work so dont let your weight worry you. they say 9 months to put it on, 9 months to lose it!
