Keep losing weight while breastfeeding

My second born is 10 months old now, whereas my first born is 3 years. Since i got pregnant with my secondborn, i lost alot of weight during my first tri & did not gain as much as i did with my first. Postpartum wise, i keep losing weight up to now, i’m also doing tandem as my 3 y/o also wants to latch. My lowest was few weeks ago 39.3kg. I’m on the petite side and my normal weight is about 44-45kg. Now hovering around 40-41. Is it normal to lose weight with breastfeeding? I am eating alot…so much more than when i was pregnant. Wondering if I should start taking mummies supplements? And are there any recommendations?

Hi mama, If your general health is alright I don’t think your weight loss is something to worry about. The general guideline is to consume 300-500 calories more - and mostly, it’s the quality of the calories you consume - good fats, less processed foods, proteins, lots of leafy greens and so on. Alternatively, you could pay a visit to your gynae and explain what’s been going on. Being better informed about your health history, he/she might be better informed to guide you. Happy eating mama!

Membrane sweep for vbac

My gynae told me she’s gonna do a membrane sweep for me next fri (at 37 weeks) to allow my body to go into natural labour as for vbac it’s not advisable to induce due to risk of rupture. She said i may or may not go into labour...so we have 3 weeks to play around to allow my body to go into labour & if it doesn’t may need emergency csect. To all vbac mummies....have u all done this before & did you all go into labour soon after that? I know every body reacts differently but just wanna know those who hv experienced it! And is it usually done abt 37 weeks? Fyi my first was a csect as baby breeched..planned for 39 weeks but had emergency one done on 37 weeks as water level low. So my body has not experienced being into labour! Thanks in advance!

I had normal vaginal delivery but I did the membrane sweep for both pregnancies. Gynae told me the chance of going into labour was 50% but it was 100% for me. Haha. For both pregnancies, I went into labour within 24hrs.
