How fast you lose weight will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of weight you gained during your pregnancy.
Most women will lose anywhere from 10-14 pounds within the first two weeks of delivery. This weight may be attributed primarily to the loss of excess fluid in the body, the baby's weight, the placenta also amniotic fluid. Some women might lose a little bit less, also others might lose a little bit more.
As the uterus shrinks back down to its normal size also your hormone levels continue to fall, you will lose weight. Most women gain at least seven pounds of fat during pregnancy. This fat is meant to help women store energy while breastfeeding. How fast this weight comes off will depend on a number of factors including: genetics, your overall health, diet also exercise.
You should expect that it will take a little bit of time to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy. It did after all take you nine months to put that weight on! Many women have successfully lost weight however, in just a few short months after a delivery.
Some women will hang on to the last few pounds they have to lose until they stop breastfeeding. Your body may want to cling to a few extra pounds to ensure you have enough energy to provide adequate milk for the baby. Every woman's experience is unique with respect to this.
The good news is that with a solid nutritional program also with moderate exercise, you can expect to lose the weight you gained during pregnancy within a reasonable time frame.
Most women will be back to their pre pregnancy weight within nine months of delivering IF they follow a regular exercise program also eat healthily after delivery. That said some women will lose their pregnancy weight in as little as six to twelve weeks!
