Weight Nerves
I am 24 weeks 3 days and I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I'm 5'7" and my starting weight was 200, I lost 3 lbs and was at 197 and at my last appointment I weighed 202. So my total weight gain was 2 lbs at my 20 week appointment. My doctor made me feel really bad about gaining that weight when I had thought I was doing good. Point being, I have my doctors appointment tomorrow and I know that I've gained more (I don't know how much because I don't have a scale) but I'm super nervous she is going to be rude to me about it. I don't know what to do, I seriously feel like I shouldn't have this much anxiety about seeing my doctor.

That not good. I have a great male doctor who says basically as long as my blood pressure is good and the baby is good it doesn't matter how much I gain. With my first I started at 185...I'm 5'4" and ended at 235. Not sure what I would have done if he was a jerk about it...maybe change doctors or give him a piece of my mind.
If your doctor is rude to you about gaining weight while pregnant, then you should put her in her place. It's kind of inevitable to when you're with child! The baby alone could wind up being 7+ pounds. Don't let her make you feel bad. Is there another dr in the office you could see?
I'd also find a new doctor. I go to a practice where I see multiple doctors/midwives and when one midwife gave me grief about being ONE POUND over my recommended weight gain at my 14 week appt I decided I wouldn't be seeing her again. I have a history of disordered eating and the last thing I need is to feel the urge to revert back to bad habits because one of the four medical professionals I've seen thinks I'm one pound too heavy.
Don't let your doctor make you feel guilty for gaining weight. You need to be gaining. My doctor was so concerned that I wasn't gaining much that he offered to see me after hours if I didn't gain 4-5 pounds in two weeks. Your doctor should never make you feel bad about gaining unless your weight is causing you health issues.
Try not to worry so much because I am 5'7" starting weight 120 and I'm up 25 lbs by 20 weeks. I'm harder on myself than my doctor is, they just don't want me to be miserable by the end so now I'm trying to eat better and exercising. I'd switch doctor if they make you feel bad about 2 lbs
Change drs, there's no reason to be so freaked about dr visits... Plenty of drs have decent bedside manner, you do not have to put up with that judgemental attitude. Your dr works for you, you have every right to fire an employee that makes you uncomfortable. Do you really want someone like that between your legs while you deliver??
How much have you ladies gained so far ?? I've gained 64lbs 😳 my husband makes me feel shitty when I indulge by reminding me how hard it's gonna be to lose the weight once baby comes. I don't know if it hurts my feelings or pisses me off but my dr doesn't seem to be concerned about all this weight I've gained I started at 106lb so I was small to begin with. Talk about stressful
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't h...
RANT: Well...I'm a whale!
Had my dr appointment today. Overall, at 30 weeks tomorrow, I have gained 35 lbs this pregnancy!!!!! Omg!! I have no idea how much I'm supposed to be gaining these last 10 weeks, but I think it'll be more than 15 lbs??? Ugh. I don't wanna gain 50+ lbs!!!
The volume of blood in your body DOUBLES during pregnancy, your uterus is full of fluid and a heavy placenta and a whole other human which is full of bones, blood, organs, and meconium. Not to mention your breasts swell and fill. You have only gained 2 lbs which means you've still lost weight total. New Dr time.
