Weight gain immediately after birth
I just delivered my baby 2 days ago. I'm now at the confinement centre and to my horror when I stepped on the weighing scale, I did not lose any weight but instead put on 5kg! I had been constipated since a few days before birth but given that the baby weight + waterbag + placenta, shouldn't I have lost some weight? Had been trying to get breastmilk too but it's still in drops. I did not overeat in hospital too. But I am visibly very puffy. Anyone can advise me? This is depressing. #advicepls #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #FTM #firstbaby

I’m currently at 37 wks and baby is about currently 2.7kg, my husband felt i had not been eating more in the past feel weeks and blames me for the drop in baby weight, he felt the normal weight should have at least been 2.9-3kg by now. It makes me feel guilty that i have not been more, though doctor did advise this is still within normal range. What can I do to increase baby weight especially now i’m already at full term? #firsttimemom
