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 have any diseases, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, i don't have a bad heart, lungs, or anything else. So I'm healthy I'm just over weight. So then we argued about him having an issue with my weight.. Am i wrong in this? Because it really hurt my feelings.. I've tried sooo many different things to lose weight but having hypothyroidism makes you gain/hard to lose. And my medications for depression and anxiety cause you to gain also.. So it's very hard to lose weight.. But i didn't even know he had an issue with my weight until last night..
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!!!

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??

I gained 25 or so this far. Lol. I'm only 20 weeks.

I gained 50 with my previous 2. My last doctor said something about how much weight I gained and I remember it really hurt my feelings. So I totally understand how you feel. Just remember that everyone is different and gains weight at a different pace. Good luck!

I gained 80 with my first! I'm 21 weeks and up 20 pounds. A lot of the time though doctors "have" to be more cautious about weight. But I would switch especially if they make you feel uncomfortable. My midwife had 0 problems with how much I gained with my first

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

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.

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.

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?

How can they be worried about your weight gain when it was only two pounds!!! I'm pretty sure I've gained more than two pounds in my boobs alone...that's insane. I would find a new doctor as well.

What?!? I'm up 20lbs and my ob hasn't said a thing.

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.

I gained 40 with my first and gave birth at 210... I think you're fine. I stress out also

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.
