[jessgray]

well i jumped on my mum's scales yesturday and i've pretty much lost all my pregnancy weight:eek: it wouldnt worry me if i was trying to lose the weight. my iron levels are still low even though i am taking iron tablets and eating as much meat as i can get my hands on.i still have to take vitamin b12 too coz i am low in that.i have been ananemic for 6 yrs or there abouts. i havent got a clue how long my b12 levels have been low for i was tested for that 1st time this yr when i was preg with ds2. could my weight loss becaused by the vitamin defencies or something else?

If you are concerned, maybe see your doctor about getting a thyroid test done-it could be overactive. Just a thought-let us know how you are going. :)

Alli Ps. Or could it be stress related? That can make you lose weight.

are you breast feeding? cos that helps with weight loss. if youre really worried go to ur doc. can u send some of ur weight loss my way lol I need it:D

That's quite a few months since you last had it checked, so it might be worth a visit to the doctor to have a chat and see what they think. They might be able to think of some other things to look at as well. :)

Make sure you do what you can to keep it off. I lost my weight pretty much, after DD was born..
but..yea..it creeped up just before i fell pregnant again.

Best of luck to you and I hope you are completely healthy and if you are, fantastic! your yourself again:smiliedance:
