Q&A: Weight gain and ur body after baby?

July 15, 2010 9 comments

Question by it’s a boy, 8 lbs. 9 oz!&quo: Weight gain and ur body after baby?
I am 38 weeks pregnant. My starting weight when i found out i was pregant was 123 lbs, im 5′8. My next appionment is on wednesday. Last week i weighed in at 175 lbs. Ive been gaining 4-6 lbs a week! I have stretch marks on my butt, belly, boobs and thighs. Will i ever go back to normal again? Will the marks fade…and will my tummy be tight? Has anyone tried “LisaHarts postnatal workout?” Does it work? any advice or tips on getting back into shape and about what to expect my body to be like after wards would be appreciated. Thank you

You can loose all the weight. Stretch marks usually fade but it depends on your skin type. They never go away ) : Now for tummy getting tight that depends on if your muscles separated or not. I delivered two children at 208 and went back down to 130 my tummy is not nice to look at and my boobs well they sag. My marks are all a very light color but you can still see them. Some people can look like they never even had children I have a friend who gained 70lbs and she has very light stretch marks and a tight tummy. I hope that is what happens to you!

Dont worry….if you want your body back, you’ll get it. You just have to work at it. Kudos to being 5′8 and weighing 123lbs….clearly you were very fit. If this is your first pregnancy, im sure you’ll get back into shape in no time. The stretch marks will sadly stay, they may fade a bit…but your tummy can get tight again. I would highly recommend ‘Pilates’ it really has worked for me, in firming up and getting slender thighs and a much tighter tummy area.

I havent tired LisaHarts postnatal workout, so I cant comment on that….but try pilates after 6weeks after giving birth, and within 1 month, you’ll see a big difference!!

Goodluck and Congrats!!

Well, I my self do not have children, but my mother has five children (including me) and another on the way.

During her pregnancies she did not gain a of of weight and she has zero stretch marks, and she still fit her everyday clothes.
I know everyone is different and I’m not trying to insult you on your weight gain, but if you walk daily, try doing crunches and going on the treadmill your body should become a lot better, your weight gain will not be as much as it is right now. And don’t say “I’m pregnant so i cant do that” you can, my mother did and shes raised five children and two grandchildren by her self.

This workout will also make the birth a lot easier.

i didnt really have a body to get back to after i had my daughter…lol. but the weight that i gained during my pregnancy came off quickly. with me it was just regaining my normal daily activities. the stretch marks, you can help by putting lotion on them. i used palmers cocoa butter and it helped dramatically. everybody is different. i cant really tell you what you will look like. as for the workout, i havent tried it but its worth a shot…good luck!!!

Okay, sorry to say.. I was just like you..125 pre-pregnancy and 188 2 days before I had my baby.. and it is extremely hard to go back to normal.. 1 year and a half later I was still 15-20 pounds more than more normal prepregnancy weight.. My stomach was never flat and was still sorta wrinkly.. the stretch marks fade.. but never go away. horrible news I know but it is true..

Unfortunatly it will never go back to the way it was. Your stretch marks will fade to almost a white, silvery line but never go away. It is hard to say about your tummy. If you workout like crazy, you may be surprised. And maybe you will be that person that doesn’t have to do anything and you will be okay. I haven’t heard of the postnatal workout you are talking about. I would suggest maybe 30 min on a treadmill per day…it really just depends on your body. I am almost positive that your babys smile will mean more to you than some stretch marks and bigger jean size:)

i gained 55lbs. 95 starting and 152 at delivery.
i have a panty line of stretch marks on my butt, and my boobs are wrinkly and saggy. (went from trainer bra to DD almost overnight) NOT ONE ON MY STOMACH!!!! but the c-section took care of the blemish free zone…..
you will look different than before, but that may not be a bad thing.
i now have hips and @$$ instead of a boy shape
the below website made a huge difference in my opinion of myself after the babies….

it is totally possible to lose all the weight you’ve gained during your pregnancy… you have gained more than usual though… but no biggie, don’t worry about it at all for now… continue your pregnancy, once the baby is born, after about 6 weeks you can start working out… are you planning on breastfeeding your baby? if i ask it’s because breastfeeding will definitely help you lose weight….
i gained 29 lbs for my first, and i lost 58 lbs within about a year after my daughter was born! and i was breastfeeding….
i must say though, you need to also adapt very healthy eating habits, and of course do a regular work out…. this might sound a bit hard to do with a new born at home, but you can exercise when the baby is sleeping…
will your tummy be tight again??? you need to make a lot of effort…. but It IS possible…
as for the stretch marks, honey, sorry to say this, but you’ve got them for life,,,, there is a way to make them fade A little though… you can apply vitamin E directly on your skin… vitamin E 1000 comes in capsules, you make a hole in the capsule and apply the oil directly on your skin, it’s the best medicine for skin, it even makes old scars fade… stretch marks will never completely go away though….

congrats and have fun for the rest of your pregnancy

well the stretch Mark are going to fade and became white after a while,and your weight are going back to your normal but not the same weight ,every body has a different body if you are planning to breastfeed your baby then you are going to loos your weight sooner than expect .it happen to me.for my first one i use formula and it took about 2 years to get to my normal size but for my second one it took 7 months to get back.don’t worry all mother go through this situation .don’t think about it so much.
good luck and have healthy baby
