Kinda bummed So today I wanted to make my nanny's chocolate pudding pie or at least one of her…

I gained 48 lbs with my pregnancy and I had a vaginal birth, doesn't make sense what the dr told you, if it were because you have gestational diabetes, but I think that's not your case

She said that if I gain more weight, he'll be too big for a vbac. I'm 26w4d. She said for my body mass and my height, I should have a 6lb baby.

What she said doesn't make sense to me. I don't have GB and I haven't been called for results yet but they'd call asap if I did.

Is this your first child op?

Find a new dr op.

And have some pie or cheesecake and take a walk and you will be fine

I would get a second opinion

I am 23 weeks and gained 30 lbs already yikes but have no concerns for birth. I have never had a c section before so don't know how that would effect anything

This is my first and thank you ladies.

I'm 4'11 and 3 quarters and my pre-pregnancy weight was 103-106 lbs and I'm 126 lbs now. I'm 26w4d. It just boggles my mind. She says to walk 30 minutes a day. But lately I've been up and cleaning for hours on end everyday (I have OCD and my hobbies are cleaning and baking lol), so I'm always up and moving. I mean school is 30 minutes away by walking so I did walk home Friday. She told me not eat a lot of apples, pineapple, etc. just eat the berries and fruits that have more water in them like watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. I just felt bummed and I felt like I was a failure because she said that. I do eat healthy. I don't eat a lot of fast food, sometimes I'll have a slice or two of pizza or go get some nuggets from McDonald's but that's very rare.

Was your doctor reading the wrong paper? You said this is your first, but your doctor said if you gain a lot of weight you can't attempt a vbac? A vbac is a vaginal deliver after a c section, if you've never had a c section then you aren't having a vbac. I gained WAY more than 20lbs and delivered my twins vaginally with no problems.

You need to see another doctor. I read your other post too and she sounds insane.

Your Dr sounds, well... wrong. I'm 5'3" and pre pregnancy I usually weighed between 105-110 and gained somewhere around 50 pounds or so with all 8 of my pregnancies. My biggest two were 9 pounds and my smallest was 4lbs 9.5oz but she was a premie. My smallest full term was 6 pounds. So just because you gain more than 20 pounds doesn't mean you'll necessarily have a big baby. If you don't have gestational diabetes, have your pie girl.

That is strange for your dr to be talking about vbac when this is your first child? I would be checking if she had the right patient

Your doctor sounds like an idiot. Unless you're leaving things out then her reasonings are ridiculous.

Wonder if she got her practicing licence out of a coco pops packet

Your doctor sounds like a nutcase. When I'm not pregnant I'm only 5'1" and 95 lbs. gained 40 with my first and he was a 7 lb 7 oz baby. With my second I gained only 25 lbs and she was still a 7 lb baby. Both were vaginal births. Your size does not determine your baby's size or your ability to have a vaginal birth in any way whatsoever.

And of course, the other ladies already explained why Vbac makes no sense when you're on your first child.

I've never heard anything so ridiculous, I've got tiny friends- under 5ft tall, 90lbs and some of them have had big babies! 9lbs, 10lbs etc, just because someone is petite doesn't mean they should have a small baby, I wonder why your doctor thinks that? It's common knowledge really.. Why do doctors there seem so keen for people to have c sections?? I'm all for healthy eating during pregnancy but honestly I'd be worried having a doctor who seemed so misinformed, make your cake and enjoy it!!!

Please get a new doctor, none of what you've said makes sense.

Lol why would you have to have a c sectional automatically if you gain more weight...unless you're an 800 pound woman, that's completely ridiculous

I just read the comments and none of that is correct! ?

Make you're chocolate pie and enjoy a small slice ??

She said vbac. I'm confused too. I have a new doctor I made that clear to the receptionist. I was told vbac and that's where I knew something was off. I was just saying what she told me. Sorry ladies I fell asleep last night, wasn't feeling too good. But I'm going to talk to my new doctor when I see him about my weight gain and needing a c section. He knows a lot more than my original doctor.

Exactly what I thought pp.

I was 98 prepregnancy and right before birth I was 146. My mom gained 60 lbs with my brother so that's ridiculous that he would say that. My son was born at 38 weeks weighing 6.8lbs. He was vaginally also.
