So I had a WIC appointment the other day and according to their scale, I've only gained 3-4 pounds. After telling my mom, she freaked out on me pretty much saying I'm starving my daughter. But my doctor has never mentioned a problem with my weight or the fact that I haven't gained so much weight. Has it been like this with other moms with carrying their first child?
@desssss @myjulyprincesseli @mamatobabys I lost over 30+ before I gained anything and I've gained maybe 5 pounds at the most!
If your doctor hasn't said anything to you about your weight I don't think you should have to, but then again that's up to you if you feel like you should then it wouldn't hurt to talk to them about it (: but I really think the scales there at wic are off compared to the ones in the doctors office, all scales are different. @mamatobabys
I was too , and that's why I wasn't gaining much from what my Dr said. that for plus sizes it's normal to not gain as much till you're getting close to the end of the pregnancy suposably. my whole pregnancy I only gained 15. and lost 45 after
@desssss, is it something I should talk to my doctor about? he's never discussed anything about my weight.
I had my second wic appointment this week and according to their scales I gained 20 pounds since my first appointment with them 21 weeks ago. They were all asking me if my doctor was concerned, and my doctor has never mentioned anything to me about my weight. I told them the scale is wrong because I had a doctors appointment not to long ago and my weight wasn't even close to gaining that much. I believe their scales at wic are off.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Thank you so much ladies. Makes me feel so much better! 😄
