When I had my last midwife appointment on Monday, we discovered I had apparently gained 10 pounds since last week.
A friend lost 40 pounds in the delivery room. Only 7 of those were baby. People at the company we worked at were still saying to her "Oh, I remember when you were pregnant. You were huge" when her daughter was 15. Why people she barely knew were saying that comes under the heading of "people suck."

shit like that freaks me the fuck out. I would have not done well pregnant.
How is 40 lbs. at once even possible? Did the kid come out holding on to loose internal organs?
Amniotic fluid + placenta accounts for a lot more weight than a newborn baby.
There are lots of...fluids.
Cash, great news about Reece!
Cashmere, I love it! Looks like so much fun. Damn my weak joints.

It is! I just want to jump in the car and drive down to see him!!!
And oh yes! So glad Reece is home.
I figured afterbirth would outweigh the baby, but almost 5x as much still seems jaw-dropping.
