Same I’m taller and slimmer then Rebecca and second time was so much harder to lose excess. I was in shock as second time it was such a slow process. Exactly! Same for me, second time round after birth not much weight shifted unlike first time."Not expecting it to happen tomorrow"... No you were expecting it to happen 3 weeks ago, you absolute melt. Hope she's got 2 weeks left and it's a boy
I bounced back somewhat with my first, with my second, not so much. Was back in my normal jeans after 2 weeks the first time round. My second boy was a 10lber and I weighed myself before and after birth and I only lost 15lb I was expecting so much more with water and placenta etc I've never fully gotten back to how I was before my second. I try but life gets in the way!
And she is on her third. Also giving birth now she has a autumn and winter ahead and it will be hard to motivate herself to exercise in the dark mornings / evenings after sleepless nights. Also naturally your reach for more carbs. Maybe she will be lucky and weight drops, I guess she is still relatively young but I think given the circumstances she will find it hard.
