postpartum weight/hair loss?

  • Posted on February 3, 2011 at 11:24 pm

Hi

I had my daughter in October. This past month I’ve lost 5-7lbs and my hair is also shedding everyplace. I am only 124 down from 130. At the height of my pregnancy I was 160lbs pre-pregnancy weight 130lbs. I do not exercise but I am breastfeeding around the clock. Is it common to loose weight like this and also my hair is shedding. It is really starting to scare me but I know our bodies change after birth and I am wondering if this is one of the changes! I am not on vitamins but I do try to eat good.

For instance I had:
2 cookies, bowel of ice cream, taco salad, and dry cereal yesterday. All of which have good vitamins. Today so far I’ve had 1 cookie, a cheese sandwich and a sprite. I am also drinking tons of water!

8mos Postpartum on a Binge Eating spree!?

So my daughter is now over 8 mos old. I breastfead her until she was 6 mos. untill I had to undergo Radioactive Iodine Treatments. Up until that time I was losing about 1-2 lbs a week. I was about 5 lbs shy of my pre preggo weight. Now, Since I’ve stopped, I’ve gained about 15 lbs over the last 2mos! I am constantly hungry, and i’ve been eating non stop. No, not potato chips and chocolate bars, but things like cheese, pretzels, granola bars. I’ve been told this is hormones still changing, or a result of being over tired? I’m almost ready to go to the doctor, because I’m sick of being hungry all the time.

I swim twice a week, and walk several times a week. I am back on Marvelon 21 for b/c, I am 5’7” and 200lbs. I am in a healthy loving marriage. Good sex life, happy in general…definetly not depressed!

Anyone else Experience this?
