I recently had a baby, well 5 months ago. i lost all my pregnancy weight without trying and now 10lbs less. should i be concerned?

Call the doc: This may be a sign of a significant problem that requires attention.I would call your regular physician & schedule a visit this week for a thorough exam and testing as needed. This might prove to be something simple, but please call now. Babies need a healthy mom.
