Im due next month and I gained almost 14 kg this whole pregnancy. Just curious how much comes off on its own right after delivery and how much I'll actually have to work for later. Share ur experience pls.
Dont stress too much about this right after delivery yaar. It comes off in its own time, focus on healing and the baby first. The number will sort itself out.
I totally understand the worry, I felt low looking at the mirror initially. But honestly the weight came off gradually and I learnt to be kinder to myself. Give your body time, it just did something huge.
I lost around 6 to 7 kg right after delivery itself with the baby, fluids and all. The rest came off slowly over months, not overnight. Be patient with yourself, it took me a while and thats normal.
Realistically dont expect quick results when you are also sleep deprived and busy. Mine reduced slowly once I got into a routine with simple food and short walks. Slow and steady is the only thing that worked for me.
Some weight goes immediately, the rest depends on feeding, food and activity. With breastfeeding I lost more naturally over time. Dont rush it, your body needs months to recover, not weeks.
