Didn’t lose much weight after birth

Hi mummies, I just gave birth to my baby and she is 3.4kg, and I thought I would lose at least 4kg immediately after popping her out since her weight + amniotic fluid + placenta would add up. However when I weighed myself right after, I found out I only lost 1.5kg!! Has this happened to anyone?

Yes happened to me 4 weeks ago. Baby was 3.3kg and I weighed myself when I was discharged two days later, realised I only lost 2kg?! 🤷‍♀️ my reaction was Same like yours, super bizarre! I’m now 4 weeks post partum and lost another 9kg. It is definitely water retention in the first week or so. Post natal massage will help tremendously in getting rid of water retention.
