I just had a c section. It is still early days 3days pp. I have only lost 3 kilos 91 to 88. I am very swollen still though, not near the incision but on my side abs. I know it is not that big a deal and I am very happy with my baby enjoying him etc. Just curious how others with a c section who jad weight to lose went? After two weeks did you find that you had lost a lot of weight etc.
After my first birth I think it was 1 week or so and I was shocked with a 10 kilo lose and just sad that hasnt happened this time lol.
Love to hear your weight stories c section mummas thanks

You'd likely have been given IV fluids and stuff this time, plus meds like endone which can bloat you. I didn't drop stacks of weight straight after my c-section but once the extra fluid had been excreted it dropped dramatically. Keep your fluids up and gentle walking should help.
At 3 days you dont need to worry about weight. There is lots of things going on with your body to get it back into normal balance. You even have increased blood volume during pregnancy, so that accounts for a bit of weight. Enjoy your bubs!
