Iggy Azalea worried about her drastic post-baby weight loss
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Any other moms who can’t stop dropping weight after having a baby? Iggy says she is already lighter than she was pre-baby after just six months of giving birth.
New moms typically take a year or more to lose the weight they gained during their pregnancy, but Iggy Azalea has the opposite problem!
The Australian rapper took to Twitter on Sunday to reveal that she has lost a lot of weight since welcoming her son, Onyx, into the world.
"Any other moms who can’t stop dropping weight after having a baby? (Not a brag, genuinely wanna hear if you had this happen). I don’t try/want to lose weight but it’s literally just shedding off me, is it hormonal? Should I be concerned? 20lbs [9 kilograms]lighter than pre-baby and counting," she wrote.

Some women told the star the rapid weight loss was normal for some breastfeeding moms.
"When you breastfeed your uterus shrinks!! Which causes weight loss but it usually stops shrinking after 6 weeks," one woman wrote.
Another user added: "If you’re breastfeeding then your body is burning more calories each day. Eat more healthy fats and carbs such as avocado, broccoli, and nuts if you’re not allergic to them. Also, bring up the subject with your doc and get tested for underlying health issues."
but postpartum thyroiditis is a thing! go to a GP asap if you feel like it’s concerning

Iggy is believed to have given birth to her son in May. She split from her son's father, Playboi Carti, in October.
The 'Fancy' hitmaker confirmed the break-up on Instagram.
"I'm raising my son alone and I'm not in a relationship," she wrote.
