Pregnancy & Parenting What has your pregnancy weight gain/loss been like? (During and After pregnancy) Mar 22 2008

i am 5'3 and gained 40 lbs during a high risk pregnancy & had a 7lb, 13oz baby by c-section...the day i got home from the hospital the scale was only 6 lbs lighter!  i was unable to breastfeed but the weight came off fastest in the initial 2 months.  it's been 3 mos and i still have 12 lbs to go.  Dr said that my cortisol levels are high from the lack/broken up sleep & that until i sleep 6 hrs straight, it will be difficult...i do need to exercise more- how do you fit it in with an infant though?

at any rate-i totally recommend staying within the 20-25 lb weight gain parameters b/c it will be fast coming off-anything above that takes time : (
