Same!!!!!!!! I was a size four and now I’m a 10. I haven’t changed anything in my diet or excersize except that I work out more then I did before the abortion. I literally hate myself.
I think it’s our bodies way of hanging on to a pregnancy that is no longer there. Be kind to yourself - and take it 9 months at a time. I think the best thing to do is to stop weighing yourself for 9 months and just pay attention to how you feel. Patience is key to allowing your body to go back to pre-pregnancy state, because irregardless whether a child is present or not, you still have given birth. You will get back to the way that you were, I think it’s just phantom weight gain.
Maybe a DHEA supplement would help with the adrenal fatigue and I recommend green tea extract for metabolism.
I keep googling it but it says weight gain isn’t caused by abortion but the same exact thing happened to me. I’ve always been 90lbs (I’m really short) and now I’m 130... had it two years ago...
I had an abortion 2 months ago, and now having massive weight gain. What should I do?
