i decided i wanted to know how much my two and a half year old weighed yesterday. and since the only way to get her on the scale it to weigh myself, then hold her and weigh both of us, i figured why not. now i want to know why i decided to do that. it was horrible. i have gained fifteen lbs since my miscarriage. ugh.
i thought i would be at at least the same weight. for two weeks after my mc, i had no appetite and hardly ate. and since then i have been just eating nomal. i know too its not a huge weight gain but i was already over weight so now i have to deal with in my ttc journey. i really need to lose some weight asap. it makes things even worse knowing im carrying around all this extra weight.
Don't feel too bad about the weight gain. I also gained 15-20 pounds after my mc. I have never been the type of person to gain weight unless pregnant. It was hard. I changed my diet with no luck of losing it. So now it's on to working out. I also came across a post on BBC that approx 50 women also gained 10+ pounds after mc. Keep your head up, hun. You're not alone.
