So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

to get weighed at an OB appt. I have always had issues with weight and I never looked when I ever got weighed. I tell them now, I don't want to look and don't tell me! I know it sounds stupid, but do they usually discuss weight with you, or only when you ask. I am afraid the dr. will come in and say it out loud, being that I just told the nurse not too mention it. I don't even want my DH in there when they weigh me, but he just says he won't look..typical guy, doesn't listen! LOL.....Sorry, I just had to vent I have a big appt on Monday and already panicking about the weigh in!!

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

My weight was never told to me nor discussed with either this pregnancy or my last. I would think the only reason they would ever have for bringing it up would be if there was an issue (too little or too much gain). Otherwise, the nurse just looks at the number and writes in your chart and that's the end of it!

It is not silly at all. I know many people on here will say they dont care about the weight bc of whatever reason. But as someone with previous significant weight loss (75 lbs. that I have kept off for 7 years) I know how stressful the weight gain can be. It has been sooooooooo hard for me. I still get on the scale every single day...i cant help it. you are not alone.

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

it's not silly! they don't tell me my weight and I don't want to know. I do weight myself at home...but I hate the dr's scales so I don't want to hear the numbers!

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

same here.. i say i don't want to hear, then i take a peek to see what they jot down.. it doesn't help everytime i go, i go at a different time.. so it fluctuates by a few (I know.. ) anyway.. we'll see at the next one... July 4th weekend, I had a pig out session...

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

I always say I dont want to know and they never tell me. and my dr has never mentioned weight in any way. I trust that he would discuss it with me if i ever gained too much or too little. I understand the anxiety too.

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

uhhh the nurses at my ob's office pratically shout it out for everyone to hear. I'm seriously struggling with this. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight becuase I was always extremly thin. my dr told me the other night I have not gained a lot and I was under weight to begin with, but I really hate that I'm gaining weight EVERYWHERE. I wish I could just gain it in my belly. I feel like a fat slob and I'm not in half way thru yet everyone says I look so good, but I just don't feel it when I see my face and arms and butt getting so much bigger.

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

I am not even sure how much i actually gained since im not sure where i started but im guessing ive gained over 50 pounds by now at 38 weeks and am MORTIFIED. The doctor has never commented on the gain. 10 pounds was in the last week alone.

I think the biggest factor is that i used the exercise almost daily and since ive been pg ive been too sick to get out of bed. Or maybe im just supposed to be a whale when preggo, i dunno

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

I feel like I am gaining a lot, although they havent said anything about it. HOWEVER, they typed it up on my paperwork they gave DH and I and so he read it right there. Do they have to put your weight on everything??? So insensitive! I mean keep it for your records, but not on the paperwork you give me for tests/ etc. elsewhere where anyone can read it on the front page!

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

unfortunately, at my dr office we have to weigh ourselves and tell them the number so i am fully aware of what i weigh. but they never make an issue of it. i figure, if there is a problem they will tell me.

as long as you are trying to eat healthy and doing some exercise (if you are allowed), then i wouldn't worry too much about it. your body will gain what it needs to. and once your LO is here, you can go back to worrying about weight loss.

i am the type to constantly diet to keep myself at a comfortable weight so i understand where you are coming from. it sucks to see the number keep going up. but remember the end result

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

I always try to convince them to deduct a few pounds for clothes and jewelry. They just laugh and write down what the scale says.... Oh well.....

Re: So Stupid..But I get such anxiety.....

I have to weigh myself, then tell the nurse when I'm in the exam room. At first it was awkward, but now I think "is is, what it is"
