Shocked and a little thrilled …
Before I got pregnant, I was around 140 - 145lbs and wore at least a size 10, often a size 12. I was shocked to find myself back in my pre-pregnancy pants at about 4 or 6 weeks postpartum - yep, apparently I’m ‘that girl’.
When Gwen was between 4 and 6 months, I realized that my pants were falling off me and looking awfully sloppy, so I bought some new size 8’s. I have *never* worn a single-digit size before in my whole life. I was thrilled!
Lately, my size 8’s have been feeling a bit big … and by a bit, I mean that I can pull them down without undoing the button. So I headed to the mall today and brought home a pair of size 6 jeans.
Go, breastfeeding, go!

Lucky you! I’m kind of the opposite - my body holds onto weight when I’m nursing frequently. I feel cheated

Shannon, that certainly does stink! But, IMHO, every body reacts differently and probably the best way for your body to sustain your nurslings!
