That's insane don't worry mama your doing fine ! I hate hearing these stories. I've heard it from my previous pregnancies bc I gained more then and they were like well ya know it'll be very hard to loose the weight and it poses health risks and bla bla bla well I lost every pound. If you have high BP GD or cholesterol then watching what you eat is very important. Anything in moderation is ok. Your pregnant now is the time to enjoy that food 🍑🍉🍒🍌🌶
I'm almost 26 weeks and have gained 16 lbs and my midwife was happy with my weight gain. That's strange that they are so concerned with your weight gain. Sounds very normal to me!
