Dr. made me feel fat today lol
Went for my monthly check up...all my bloodwork was great, my symptoms are all OK and normal according to Dr,
but then i told him I've gained about 6 lbs already and asked his opinion, and he said "well...im not thrillled...would have liked it more around 3 right now, but I guess you're alright"
I told him I already grew over 1 whole cup size, from D to DD already, and I figured the extra weight was from that...but he seemed like he disagreed..
what are your dr's saying about weight gain? anyone else gain around 6lbs at 12 weeks????
or am I the fat@$$ the dr made me out to be??? lol

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
With this pregnancy I just keep losing weight because my M/S is so bad. It was the same when PG with DS. I had only gained about 10lbs by 20 weeks. Then I had a four week period where I gained 7lbs. My doctor let me know that was a little to much of a weight gain in 4 weeks. He was right. I was eating too much.

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
I don't know, I don't understand why I've gained too much then...
I don't eat any more than I did before being pregnant, if anything I eat less...I can't stomach the same size portions that I used to...
I eat lots of vegetables, whole wheat/whole grain, fruit, and drink lots of water and green tea...
I've only gotten sick maybe not even 10 times, so I'm not sick alot
and I don't even look like I gained weight...nobody can even tell I'm pregnant except really close family who can tell I have a small pouch starting...only thing that's grown is my chest...
I don't know what I should do to try to stop gaining "too much"...I know there's not much exercising I can do besides like walking and yoga...I guess I'll up that aspect of my routine then...

well at least that makes me feel better!!!
and it doesn't help when my SIL says, "you're a "big girl" like me, Gina, so you're not going to only gain 11 lbs like [my other SIL], you're going to gain like i did!"
I want to punch her when she says that LOL...meanwhile she ate takeout practically 3 meals a day, ate sweets constantly, and gained 80lbs!!!!!!!! grrrr

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
This is my first pregnancy and so far I have gained 6 or 7 pounds. I am 14 weeks. I think it is normal bc all of our body types are different. If you feel like you are eating healthy and not "eating for two" then I think it is totally normal and I wouldn't stress about it. You have a growing baby and you're supposed to gain weight.

well thats what I keep telling myself...I eat when I feel hunger...not when I see a commercial for an ice cream, or think "oo im craving that", and as I mentioned, my portions are smaller than usual if anything, so I guess that's better than NOT eating when I feel hungry!!! THAT would be unhealthy!
I haven't gained anything since last week...so maybe it's slowing down a bit.

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
I feel like my weight gain is slowing down too. I gained in the beginning and now I feel like I'm staying the same. I don't think my weight gain is from eating bc before pregnancy I have been the same weight for many years. Just enjoy your pregnancy and eat when you're hungry. It's not like you gained a massive amount of weight.

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
just jumping in....with all of mine, I gained most of my weight in my first and 2nd trimesters....usually I was up about 10-12 lbs at 12 weeks...with ds#1 I gained a total of 29 lbs, ds#2 25 lbs, and ds #3 30 lbs.....I would honestly not worry about it....everyone puts weight on differently
ETA: my drs never ever once, throughout all of my pregnancies, said anything about my weight gain

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
My Dr. was great, and told me not to obsess about my weight. He said some gain the weight in the beginning and some gain it all at the end. I think I gained around 5lbs. at 12 weeks.

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
At 14 weeks, I had gained about 3 lbs.. not even. But then from week 14 to week 17, I had gained about 5 lbs.. so made up more than enough for not gaining anything. Everyone gains differently, and you will even out in the end. If I had one night of pigging out, I shoot up a good 3 lbs or more.. but then I try to even it over the course of the week and sometimes even the next.
Your body will do what it needs to.. if you are eating right and excercsing, then whatever you gain, your body most likely needed it. You are growing a little person in there.. don't worry about the numbers (i know easier, said that done)

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
A lot of it is probably water retention!! At one point in my pregnancy I gained 9 pounds in one month!!! My OB only wanted me to gain 25 pounds for the whole pregnancy. I gained 39!!! No control over what I gained.. And I didn't eat a lot nor did I eat much "junk"

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
I lost 6lbs total in 14weeks but I had an unhealthy lifestyle prior to bfp and I think my weight loss is due to a combination of healthy eating, food aversions, and an increase in my thyroid meds.
I see nothing wrong with what you're eating so maybe your weight gain was due to water retention (watch your salt).

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
Everybody and every pregnancy is different. All you can do is make healthy choices, your body is going to do what it needs to do.
I am 18 weeks and have gained 3 pounds total. My doctor wants me to stick to 20-25 pounds and I'm hopeful I can do that. I eat LOTS of carbs for the most part- cereal with milk, fruit, toast and LOTS of water. I was afraid I had easily gained 5 pounds just this month but turns out, not the case. As far as exercise, I walk a good amount and go to prenatal yoga twice per week.
Relax and do what is best for you and baby

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
I've never gained any weight in the first tri with my first 2 because of MS. But there were moments in both my pregnancys where I gained more than I should have at a given time. I think if you just look at the big picture and keep it under control over the ENTIRE pregnancy, you will be fine. Also, if you are a little underweight, it is ok to gain a little extra. If not, then take this as a sign and try to make better food choices from now until the birth. You're not fat!!

Agreed. I think I was up 12 lbs by 12 weeks!!! You're doing fine. I think that's a good gain actually. I gained most of my weight in my first and second trimesters. By the third I hardly gained anything. I think I may have put on about 4 lbs in the last 3 months. Everyone gains differently and at different points in their pregnancies. I think it was so rude for your doctor to comment on your weight like that. Don't stress it too much!

Re: Dr. made me feel fat today lol
I don't think you've gained too much. I'm sure he didn't mean make you feel fat but, if you ask that kind of question you have to be prepared for the answer
