Weight
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.

I didn't gain any weight until my 20 week appt too. And then I gained like 10lbs in a month... I've got my 28 week appt tomorrow and I know I'm up probably a total of 15-20 lbs now. My doctor mentioned I was up a little higher than I should be but she hasn't been mean about it. Say something or see if there's another doc in the practice you can see.

Do NOT let her make you feel bad at all. I didn't gain much till about 20 weeks either. At one point I went in and had gained a total of 13 pounds in a month. I freaked and my doctor said it's normal to gain a bit around 20-26 weeks. But I have little by little gained more. I weighted 142 at my first appointment at 9 weeks and last appointment I weighted 173 and I was right at 33 weeks. I've gained 31 pounds. There is no shame. I mean you dont want to gain so much were it's bad for yours and your babies health, but you havnt gained nothing. I would just look at her and tell her how it is.
