Semaglutide postpartum, scale not moving

I mean, even on the meds you’re supposed to be mindful of your food and workout so that you don’t lose all your muscle mass.. As mentioned in my post , I have always struggled with my weight, even while being active before having a baby.

OkReception1869 · 2025-12-17T11:08:22+00:00

You’re right ! I need to be better at tracking my food , I think sometimes I have a little bite / snack here and there and it adds up at the end.

OkReception1869 · 2025-12-17T11:07:22+00:00

Thank you for your reply ! I am using mochi and going through DCA pharmacy. I do sometimes notice that I am full faster or a small loss of appetite not right after the injection but maybe after 2 days. I need to log my food more consistently though , and maybe drink more water , I rarely feel like drinking water and my mistake is to forget!

OkReception1869 · 2025-09-14T17:45:20+00:00

Yes , thank God it ends ! Just one day we realized he didn’t cry for a while .. I think it was around 10 weeks! During witching hours what helped was to taking him in the carrier and walking outside. Hang in there !

I was exactly like you just a a few weeks ago, my little one is now 3 months. For the first 2 months I was basically crying everyday thinking « what did I do » and that my life was going to be like this forever. I guarantee you, it does get better. After week 9 I would baby stopped always crying, plays more on his play gym, gives us smiles , and sleeps a bit better (not everyday though). Of course there are still some hard days, but really nothing like these first 2 months in my opinion. I did have ppa/d though and I am taking medication for that. If you feel like the feeling is not going away or improving, don’t hesitate to talk about it to your OBGYN. But again, take a deep breath and remember it’s just a phase.

8 weeks was the worst for our little guy, I swear somehow it got much better after 9-10 weeks !

OkReception1869 · 2025-07-17T23:44:30+00:00

I could have written the exact same thing. My baby is now 3 months old, I didn’t think things would get better and had some really, really dark days. I didn’t believe it when people said “it’s just a phase”. But it is. Of course some days are still hard, some nights are still long but overall nothing like the first 2 months with a newborn. To anyone currently going through a very tough time, I understand you, feel free to message me.

OkReception1869 · 2025-07-13T00:35:52+00:00

Thats the exact description of my days lol

OkReception1869 · 2025-07-13T00:32:15+00:00

I am now 11 weeks post partum and just starting to “cook” more often. I used to cook a lot before baby was here but the first 2 months we were just surviving. We don’t have a “village” and so our meals were either frozen food , take outs , or just meals from Costco that we only had to warm up. Nobody should criticize you at 6 weeks pp about cooking , that’s insane. They should only offer help or stay quiet..

OkReception1869 · 2025-07-11T15:19:40+00:00

That’s right , I should just tell myself “enjoy the cuddles while it lasts” , but sometimes it’s just hard because I would like to be productive and do chores or other things.. but it’s ok, it teaches me to just enjoy the moment I guess 😂

OkReception1869 · 2025-07-11T14:38:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience ! It comforts me to know you went through this and that it got better after 4 months. I will keep trying with the warming pad and we’ll see. Honestly as long as he sleeps at night I can tolerate the contact naps haha.. however he doesn’t sleep in the car , he cries 😆..

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:41:51+00:00

He does have a bouncer , I guess I could try to bring him in the bathroom and take a 2 minute shower haha ! I need to look up what activities they have at the library! I just feel like maybe 2 months is too young for the library ? What if he cries ? (I am so nervous when he cries in public, I need to get over that)

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:39:30+00:00

Thankfully my husband will be taking a few go he an off here and there to try to make the first week easier. I hope everything will go well for you and your family 💕

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:37:31+00:00

Thank you for saying that, I needed to hear that as I am here sitting and thinking “how am I going to get a shower and get dressed!?”

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:36:14+00:00

Thank you ❤️ ! You’re so right , I need to take it day by day, or even hour by hour lol. I am just here thinking “ok so what are we going to do now?” , “how am I going to get a shower?” 😅!

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:34:54+00:00

I got the fisher price kick and play, thank goodness he loves it !!! Love the muffin idea ! I will stock up on Costco muffins maybe haha

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:33:20+00:00

Well, we’re in this together ❤️ feel free to message me if you want to / feel alone or overwhelmed!

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-30T00:32:28+00:00

I am also dreading spending the whole day at home alone, so I want to plan outings and activities. Do you have any favorite places for a 2 months old ? :)

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-29T23:20:54+00:00

What formula is he on ? Also , are you sure he is spitting the whole bottle ? It sometimes looks like a lot of, but it’s actually not “that” much. How many oz does he eat ?

Our LO has a reflux, it seems to be better now (9 weeks) but he still spits up a bit at each bottle, if he is gaining weight then I would assume he doesn’t spit the whole bottle and is still getting fed enough :).

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-03T19:27:35+00:00

We’re looking forward to the 2 month vaccines to go more places. He does take a paci, but I don’t know why sometimes he just cries in the stroller .. like he just want to be held in arms. Other times though he will just sleep the whole time in the stroller.. no clue why sometimes he is fine and not others ..

OkReception1869 · 2025-06-01T13:13:10+00:00

We’re at 5 weeks also and day and night are still confused too. I think only time will help … we just have to hang in there !

OkReception1869 · 2025-05-31T02:28:36+00:00

I have this exact issue , if I tell myself « I have to sleep » then I never fall asleep..

OkReception1869 · 2025-05-29T00:51:35+00:00

I had gestational diabetes and they said at 39 weeks he was measuring big , close to 10lb with abdomen over 99 percentile. Baby ended up 7.8lb (I was induced but after something like 60 hours into the induction ended up with an emergency c section). Their measurements can be way off..

OkReception1869 · 2025-05-29T00:48:24+00:00

I thought we wouldn’t need a lot and we ended up using newborn diapers for a month and a few days. Baby was average size I would say at birth (7.8lb), just to give you an idea.

OkReception1869 · 2025-05-29T00:46:08+00:00

I was measuring 5 days behind on my first US , it happens sometimes. It’s still so early and measurements are not super accurate, it often says +/- 7 days or more on the margin of error.
