I'm so bummed...
Girls, I need some hugs. I had my 17 week appointment yesterday and was told that I gained 10 POUNDS in one month!    That brings me to a total of 15 pounds!!  If I was of normal weight when I started this journey, that would be fine, but I was President of the Chub Club to begin with!  My doc only wanted me to gain 15-25 pounds for my total pregnancy... and now that I am up 15 pounds already, I feel so sad and ashamed. I hate that I was fat to begin with and that I have to worry about this now. I don't even want to eat now, but I'm always hungry. Please send hugs.

Re: I'm so bummed...
Gabi,
I'm sorry  I know how you feel, I have my first appt today and am terrified of getting weighed in. I gained 10 lbs before I got PG, plus I have already gained 5 lbs since finding out (I'm 9 weeks) so it'll look to the Dr. like I have already gained 15 lbs, I feel ashamed and embarrased.
Feel better, here's lots of

Re: I'm so bummed...
Don't worry. It was probably a growth spurt this month. Keep eating just try to make it a smidge healthier.

Re: I'm so bummed...
I was chubby to begin with too. I went to the doctor on Saturday and I gained 8 lbs in a week. I'm assuming that its water retention because my feet and calves we swollen for 2 days. To make matters even worse, last night my MIL called to check on me to see how I was feeling. She still can't understand why I started swelling up so early on into my pregnancy (I'm 5 weeks & 4 days). I told her that its not uncommon. Then she had to start with me that I should really work on losing the weight. I got so upset with the critisim that I was crying and eventually started throwing up. I'm doing everything humanly possible to eat right for me and my baby. I just don't need to be critizied.

Didnt I tell you a few weeks ago that the scale in his office is BROKEN.
Dont worry about it, it isnt like you are sitting there downing bags of junk food. Some of us are prone to put on some extra pounds. It will slow down. Try your best to eat healthy and that is all you can do.

Thanks Debbie. That's why I practically ran out of the office when I was done and didn't chat with you more. I was so upset!

Re: I'm so bummed...
I am having a really hard time with weight gain too! I understand how you feel. I gained 2lbs in the first few months, than at my last visit gained 13lbs in 5 weeks!! That freaked me out a little. I have never been so heavy in my life, but then again I've never been pregnant either!

Re: I'm so bummed...
your body is going to gain what it needs, even if all you eat is celery and carrots. it will all come off when the baby is born

Re: I'm so bummed...
I feel your pain. I was average weight before my first pg and this time too. I am almost 22 weeks, and probably have gained about 17- 20 lbs.
I don't eat a lot or really bad foods this time or last time, and I gained 42 lbs the first time. I am sure that I will gain the same this time. Don't be ashamed. I honestly don't think there is anything you can do. I think, you will gain, what you will and gain and there is little you can do about it.
Last time, I remember wanting to strangle all of the woman who kept telling me how big I got and how the only gained 5, 10, 15 lbs during pregnancy!!!!
