Did not shed any weight right after delivery

Hi today is my 3rd day post c section delivery. Went home and was surprised that i did not lose any weight at all. Was the same as a week ago when i was admitted to the hospital. Very worried. Anyone encountered the same? Most articles say that right after delivery will lose around 6kg due to baby weight and amniotic fluid weight etc. How can i be weighing the same?!

My weight wasnt much of a difference after i delivered actually. And besides that, priority is confinement! I agree with the other reader not to be bothered about the weight now :)

My baby was 3.3kg when born but I only lost 1.9kg after returning home from hospital 😂😂. It’s water retention don’t worry. I lost 20kg in 3 months!

Your body may have serious water retention. Don’t be too hard on yourself! First month is confinement, don’t bother about weight first! ♥️

It also depends on how much weight you have gained throughout your pregnancy. Anyways, give your body time to recover and heal.
