According to the nurses I saw today... I gained too much weight in the past 4 weeks since my last…

Aww bless your heart.. any idea on the kind of foods you ate that may have caused weight gain? Like did you eat out a lot or crave certain foods?

So I see this so too often now medical "professionals" scaring people. First you need to eat that's important just focus on eating what's needed versus wanted for example chicken and veggies versus cake and ice cream... Second no medical treatment can be done without your consent so you cannot be made to have a c section... As long as baby and you are healthy no worries and if that changes make sure you have the info before consenting to any medical procedure

@sylvia_biddle, Since the beginning of my pregnancy all I've craved was chocolate, cupcakes, and ice cream. It got really intense to the point where I would eat more sweets than food on a daily basis. After today I realized that's not so healthy but weight gain still scares me because of how much I've already gained and I'm only halfway baked. 😓

@sparklymama, I appreciate the peace of mind you've given me! It is however my fault that I've gained so much because the sweet cravings were too strong. But after today I'm going to try to eat healthier and sub out fruits for sweets. 🙈

That's a good plan and I did food logs both of my pregnancies it helped keep me on track because I could have lived on cupcakes for both

I had the same problem except it was candy and it scared me because people kept telling me about gestational diabetes. Like really?? Scared the shit out of me that I didn't know what to eat :( then I tried baked fruits and they tastes like candy to me especially the strawberries!!

@sparklymama, I was a huge sweets person before my pregnancy... but the second I found out I was pregnant those cravings were enhanced by a million. 😅 I finished a whole pack of Oreos and A whole think of cupcakes in a day, and it just wasn't healthy at all. I'll have to start keeping a food log for myself and see how that goes.

@sylvia_biddle, yes! My midwife mentioned that to me and said that I'll have to take my glucose test in 2 months so it freaked me out. My boyfriend decided to cut me off of sweets completely along with soda so that I can eat more healthy foods.

That is how i was during my last pregnancy. I gained 60 lbs, i did not have to have a csection. I wanted fast food ALL DAY and chines and candy. I decided to just eat and i would have to deal w it after.

I’ve gained a lot of weight as well throughout my pregnancy. I’ve always been a sweets person and I’ve always been very thin and never had to worry about what I ate, so it’s a huge change for me. It’s definitely best to watch what you eat. But I still feel fine after gaining so much and my baby is healthy. The sweets cravings are sooo hard to just ignore and my impulse control now sucks when it comes to that stuff. My plan is to really buckle down on what I eat after I deliver and truly try to make a lifestyle change then. But for now, being that I’m so close, I’m just going to continue to focus on what tastes good 😜🤷🏼‍♀️ good luck tho, and don’t feel bad about what you are eating, as long as your doctor says your baby is healthy!!! 😊
