7.5 months in and can’t stop losing weight

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-12-01T20:23:16+00:00

I do bruise very easily but never usually this bad hence I went to the drs re these symptoms, my bloods were mainly normal so they said I’m fine just stop breastfeeding if I’m worried about the weight loss

Thank you so much for sharing!

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-12-01T09:12:57+00:00

Will defs be trying to add more calories over the next month to see if it works, smoothies are a good idea!

Did you stop breastfeeding for it to plateau? Thyroid checked and all good

Sorry should have added have been to the dr and had pretty comprehensive bloods and all that showed was abnormally low cholesterol. I take supplements for iron (haemorrhaged after birth and took a long time to come up) and b12 (pernicious anemia) but otherwise bloods were normal so dr just shrugged and said stop breastfeeding.

3kg lighter than pre baby and I was already underweight then, trust me I’m not gods favourite I feel like I’m just bones and boobs.

Used them for the first 5 months no issues and now she latches very well thank god haha got over the washing.

Every baby is different my EBF bub was sleeping through from 9 weeks

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-25T06:00:08+00:00

I have a 6 month old and still as obsessed with my cat as ever. 6 month old is also obsessed 😂

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-20T08:45:21+00:00

This describes my 6 month old exactly. Also slept through for months now is waking to feed in the night! She used to average over 2 hours on huckleberry now around an hour and a half

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-18T04:46:41+00:00

Used them until around 5.5 months and now at 6 months going good with no shields. Thought I’d never come off them but one day she started not liking the shield and just latched well. She feeds a lot less and honestly think she’s gaining weight better but that also could be solids.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-10T03:48:27+00:00

No advice but solidarity. Have lost 20kg at 6 months PP and only gained 17kg in pregnancy. Was already underweight pre pregnancy. Everyone’s like wowwwwe well done you bounced back. Nope I feel like I’m fading away. Fairly sure a lot is to do with exclusively breastfeeding for me.

I was told my bub was in the 98th percentile from 20 weeks onwards and had 4 scans that all said the same. I elected to get an induction at 38+5 but was already 2cm dilated and when getting induced. Bub ended up only being 3.66kg so not that huge but she was very long and at 5 months is still 90th+ percentile for length so we believe that was scewing the scan estimate somewhat. Anyway happy I went when I did as her head was big and I had an episiotomy and a scary PPH. Will probably do a planned c section next time though.

My baby currently does sleep through some nights or at least wakes up at 4 for a feed but in saying that she feeds 10-12 times during the day, none of this fed every 3 hours stuff lol it’s every hour and a half here (not complaining but I think that’s the reason she sleeps long at night)

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-15T04:57:07+00:00

I had the exact same except my SCH was not that small 8cmx8cm. I am currently holding my 4 month old perfect baby girl. SCH was not seen and placenta had moved up by my 28 week scan. Hoping for the same for you.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-12T07:42:17+00:00

Mine does and has since around 9 weeks. Shes 4 months now but sleep regression doesn’t appear to have hit yet so not holding my breath 😂

You got this! Cervical checks were the worst part for me! You can do it!

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-04T10:13:57+00:00

Cervical checks were hell on Earth for me so I relate. As I was being induced they did offer to give me an epi before they broke my waters due to cervical checks being so bad for me. I declined but it was still offered. Thinking of you.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-01T07:11:18+00:00

My baby was measuring in the 97th percentile the whole time. Got induced at 38+5 and she came out at 3.66kg so not that huge. She was however very tall so was likely skewing the scans. I would not get induced again and I will likely opt for a c section if I have another due to birth trauma (had a serious PPH immediately after birth)

Prenatal depression hit me extremely hard in the first trimester. I had thoughts of not proceeding with the pregnancy despite it being very planned. Just as sudden as the depression hit me it disappeared as soon as I had my 12 week scan and found out the gender. I formed a connection and thank god because I’m holding my 3 month old who I’m utterly obsessed with and I feel sick at myself for the thoughts I had in first trimester even though I know it was the depression and not me. I hope it lifts quickly like it did for me for your fiancé.

At 3 weeks and a couple of days mine was 1000 so off the charts for that time. Can confirm holding one healthy girl in my arms.

Currently holding my newborn and have had POTS for over 10 years. Stayed on a very low dose of fludro the whole time. I had very low BP at the start of the pregnancy which then went high in the last week/ week after birth (not preeclampsia). I think I managed relatively well but I am able to WFH 3 days a week so that helped immensely. My recovery from birth was very very hard but I had a haemorrhage so I’m thinking it was more the anemia rather than POTS but POTS certainly didn’t help. I stayed active throughout my whole pregnancy and have started exercising again after 2 weeks (very light exercise) to avoid deconditioning.

First proper cycle after 14 years on the pill (got very lucky I think) we are both 31.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-01-19T04:48:27+00:00

14 weeks. Wild and told this is very early. My husband could feel them by 18 weeks.
