    Default prego/about to pop/loosing the weight /

    as some of yall know im prego,and so far ive gained my 35 pounds and im due jan 27th,but me and my doctor are thinking it may even be in 2-3 weeks! anyways before i got pregnant i weighed 105 now i weight 140,i dont want to loose all of the weight,i want to be about 120 mabe even 125 pounds. so my qestion is,how much do you usually loose in the hospital when you have the baby isnt it like 7-10 pounds or something like that? and before i got pregnant i had some rockin abs,i did about 500-1,000 crunches daily,so do you think it will be alittle easier to bounce back and get my tummy back? and also if you have had kids how did long did it take to get your body back? my goal is to start dancing 2-3 months after i have the baby,is that a good ideal? thank you guys!

    everyone is totally different.

    I gained over 100 lbs ( i swear to you ) with both of my sons. I was 105 before I got pregnant with both of them. Well over 200 when I hd them.

    I had 10 and 11 lb babies ..no csection so I started working out * light stuff * about 3 weeks out. But I was already into my prepregnancy stuff by week 2. I just had to tone up

    I was able to look better than when I got pregnant by no later than 6 weeks with both of mine.

    But its all a matter of what condition you were in prior, during etc.

    140 isnt bad, not at all. Not sure how tall you are.

    I lost a ton of weight in delievery but im sorta not the norm. I had a ton of water weight, big kids..and both boys were in two sacks! no idea on how or why that happened.

    But nonetheless, you will leave there disappointed with what the scale says. At least i was. Once i got home I dropped weight rather fast.

    With Makayla, it took 10 days to get back into my regular clothes. But, it took a little longer for the "post-preggo" belly to snap back.

    I would say that if you are giving yourself a time-frame of 2-3 months, you should be good to go.

    So far, its only been a couple of days since Adrian was born...so I'm expecting that I'll be back into my regular clothes by the 28th.

    Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck with your weight loss. Oh, BTW...breastfeeding helps your body snap back much faster than not.

    I gained about 35lbs with my son and had a c-section. A week later I had lost 22lbs of it. A couple of monsts later my tummby was looking good and I was pretty much back to normal. I never lost the last 5-7 lbs though, I never really pushed to because we started trying to have another as soon as I was done breastfeeding.
