as for the rest of my appt.....
I gained a whopping 6 lbs 
Prior to this, I lost 5 lbs during the first trimester, and didn't gain anything upto 16 weeks.
at almost 20 weeks, its a whoping SIX??!  that's just not right!
TMI alert!
I'm hoping a portion of that is just the fact that I'm severely constipated right now  and that soon I'll a lb or 2...
I'm only supposed to be gaining 15-20 during the pregnancy, so 6 is really too much for this early in the game!

Re: as for the rest of my appt.....
nah, i'm only supposed to gain 15 as well...as of 15 weeks I was up 9, but I had a full bladder at the time of weigh int (they didn't let me pee) so I think that accounts for at least 2 or 3 pounds...

Re: as for the rest of my appt.....
unfortunately, the scale is in the bathroom, so I don't have that excuse 
I obviously have to stop drinking the ice tea I began drinking last month

Re: as for the rest of my appt.....
6 pounds at 20 weeks is great. My doctor also only wants me to gain 15-20 pounds and I feel like I gain in spurts. At my 32 week check up I was up 10 pounds total but I had gained 7 of it since my last visit. This past visit I only gained about 3 in 4 weeks. So try not to stress over it too much. Just be careful in your food choices and try to keep active.

Why does everyone's Doctor only want them to gain 15-20 lbs??? I thought it was 25-35?? I'm sure I will supass that anyway, I did the last time..

it's becuase you aren't as pudgy as we are 
if you are overweight, they want you to avoid excessive weight gain.....

I SWEAR this is part of it  I'm totally not doing well in the digestion department....
to be blunt.... we haven't been eating as many veggies as usual... MIL came over this weekend with half of a polish grocery store, and we've been chowing down on all of the pickles, cheese, ham (and yes, I'm being a good girl and heating it first!), and whole grain bread....
I can't stop though.... it's sooooo yummy and I'm filling my ham and cheese urges......
I should add that I've been drinking RIDICUOUS amounts of fluids (4-5L over the last 4 days or so).... but I'm not going to the bathroom more frequently

exactly. When you're overweight they only want you to gain 15-20 pounds. Normal weight gain should be about 20-30 pounds if you are not overweight and a lot of it also depends on your body shape and height. My doctor is a big believer in excessive weight gain can lead to c-sections.
