With my first, it took about 7 months because bread kept weight on me. Once i realized it, i dropped it quick. My sister took about 4 months or so.  I just had my son Tuesday and I've already lost half the 30 pounds i gained. Bread again though,  lol. I feel i need it. I have yo plan meals to not indulge.

Long story short,  figure out what you eat that holds your weight and cut back with a slight workout about 4-6 weeks following the baby and you will be find.

Everyone is different. I was 145 when I got pregnant with my first (June 2011). By that September I was wearing my bikini. April 2013 I was 125 pregnant with my second. I got pregnant with my 3 September 2014 and I was 117. I nursed both of them I never exercised or crazy diets. I do have a pretty decent eating habit. But I don't deprive myself of tasty and occasionally not so great things lol.

I was one of the lucky ones and lost all 36 pounds in 2 months. And all I did was breastfeed! I have the feeling its going to take me a bit longer this time around though.

It all just depends on your body. My siter gained 60 pounds with her first pregnancy and lost her weight in a few months after giving birth. Dont worry :) have a safe and blessed pregnancy <3

Oh, and I spoke with a nurse at one of my followup visits about how long it was taking.  She told me I might never lose it.  My mouth dropped open and I said--oh yes I will!  Doc was much more encouraging and said to keep at it cuz it can take a while.

18 mos to lose 30 lbs the first time.  I was really surprised by how long it took.  I had never battled weight before.  I had to really add activities to get rid of it. My diet was pretty consistent--lots of fruits/veggies, few processed foods.
