Ive had two csections i lost 15lbs within a week or two i believe but then gained 20 after getting the mirena. So im glad im gettinf my tubes tied after this pregnancy so i dont have to deal with weight gain frm birth control.

I weighed myself before we went to the hospital after my water broke and got weighed when I got to the hospital. I then weighed myself as soon as I got home. They didnt weigh me after I had my son.

My question is how did you know? I never got weighed in the hospital I never noticed til I got home. I weighed myself before I left for hospital and when I got home.

With my son I lost around 12-15lbs the day I had him, we went home within 12 hrs after I had him. He was born 7lb 1oz and I had him vaginally which is why I got to leave so quick.
