When does your weight ‘settle’ after birth?
I’m officially one month postpartum and am somewhere between 20-25 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. I’m feeling really down about this and wondering if this is just my new body now, or if there’s more weight to be lost as my uterus shrinks down. In case relevant, I had a c-section and lost 20 pounds right away at birth from the baby, water retention, placenta etc.
Either way, my weight loss journey begins. Sigh.
