Within 2 weeks of having my baby, I had already lost 20lbs. Within 3 weeks I had lost all the baby weight. Now that he is 2 months old and nursing all day, I am losing even more weight. I eat healthy at home and I will eat fast food at least 4 times a week. I have a very fast metabolism, what can I eat or do to help me gain weight. I am already on the depo shot and haven’t gained any weight.

I just had ultrasound done this morning. I am 36 and half weeks and have been measuring small for last 4 weeks, so my doctor sent me in for an ultrasound. Everything looked great with baby:-). Ultrasound tech told me the baby is around 6.7 lb right now, just wondering how correct ultrasound weight estimates are?
