Weight Gain
Hi! I’m trying to find some kind of reassurance or hope or idk. I’m a little over 2 months postpartum after my second son.
With my first (~4 years ago), I breastfed and lost weight but then gained a ton of weight due to some hormonal changes that happened when he started solids. It was absolutely awful (because I gained about 30 lbs over two months and had other symptoms) and they couldn’t really figure out why. Then, I got pregnant with my second and dropped all the weight within a couple months of being pregnant.
Now, with my second, I’m breastfeeding again. He’s huge and cute; over 16 lbs at his 2 month appt. We’re rarely doing a bottle. But, I have gained 10 lbs in the last month. My doctors don’t really know what’s going on. My thyroid looks great and my A1C looks great (despite that being bad when I gained with my first). I’m eating decently well and getting some exercise. My sleep is rough because we’re cosleeping but I’m still getting between 6-9 hours total (just with lots of wake ups).
Did anyone have similar weight gain happen? Did the weight gain stop? Did anything help?
