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.

At your height and weight your bmi can't be THAT high. (Mine is medically obese could be morbidly obese actually) Idk why she would bug out so much aren't you allowed 15-20 pounds? As long as you're not overeating like crazy or binging on fast food you should be okay. Maybe talk to her more about it express your anxiety over being criticized over weight gain.

I think it is like 15-25 lbs.

And I haven't been eating lots of fast food, so honestly I don't know why I'm so worried about it. I have a very balanced diet and have been mainly craving fruits and veggies. I guess it's possibly just the unknown. Maybe I should invest in a scale just so I can be aware.

I feel your pain. I know over the holidays I totally gained weight. And I was good at maintaining before. 24 weeks currently and have officially gained 4/5 lbs. had my appt yesterday. Thought the doctor would say something and nope she told me she couldn't ask for better. And I was stressing the whole time. Hubby told me I over thought it. But I was told at the first appt try to keep my weight gain 11-13lbs total. I gained 45lbs with my first. So i wanted a healthy pregnancy this time. I talked to my doctor early on about weight gain and how I'll try not to but wasn't up to being shamed if I did. So maybe this is why she didn't. I know there are some jerks for doctors out there. And I hope your appt goes well.
