Mean nurse made me want to cry!
Went in for 28 week appt and glucose test. She weighed me and told me that I've gained too much and I am not supposed to weigh this much. Ugh - I feel like crap now. I hope the weight gain slows down from here...

Thanks! I was normal weight starting out. I am 5'10 so I feel like I distribute weight pretty well, so I didn't expect such a big number. I'm embarrassed to say I am already up 30 pounds!!! The doctor didn't say anything at first, I feel like she didn't even look!  Then I mentioned it and she said, yes, that is a lot, but I am concerned only about water retention. I told her I haven't noticed any swelling yet, so she said all is okay. I just feel large!
I gained a lot of the weight in the last month, I think! I need to post another updated pic!

ITA. I'm sorry you're feeling badly. Some things are just out of your control. All you can do is try your best to be healthy for you and the baby.

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
I'm sorry the nurse said that. Maybe she was just concerned with swelling and thought that might have been a cause of the quick weight jump. I wouldn't worry about it. If your doctor hasn't said anything about it, it shouldn't have been mentioned- the nurses sometimes just like to talk. 30 is not "too" much weight. And you were perfect before getting pregnant and as the previous poster said, you were super thin and carried the baby well at 23 weeks, I highly doubt it is such an unbelievable difference from then. I am sure you are taking care of the baby the best you can and that is ALL THAT MATTERS. The weight will come off eventually and everyone is entitled to their opinions but they are not living in and with your body!!!

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
You are so tall...doesn't that mean you should gain a little more anyway? The weight comes on in spurts and I am sure your current weight is healthy!! Did the glucose test go OK?

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
I added a 28 week picture to my album - you can definitely tell I put on a good amount of weight between 23 weeks and 28 weeks, but I still don't feel like I look THAT huge. Where is all this weight? Oh wait, I think I know, my boobs! 
Glucose test - I'm not sure yet...they tell me no news is good news - which I find annoying. When can I say, "Ok, I passed!" if I never hear from them. I might just call for results on Friday if I don't hear from them. It wasn't too bad to go though - the drink tastes like flat orange soda!
Anyways, thanks for making me feel better girls!

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
You look fabulous! Never would have guessed that you gained 30 lbs. at this point. I think she probably just looked at the number and didnt take into account your height, that plays a big factor.
If it makes you feel any better I gained 5 lbs. in 2 weeks!  Between my 28 and 30 week checkups.

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
I think you look great! My friend put on 40 lbs and I sware you couldnt even tell. She was all belly!!! Do not worry about the weight gain. As long as you are eating right, your ok. Besides some put on early, others late. I didn't gain much in the beginning. I'm gaining now @ 32 weeks.

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
My SIL gained 85 lbs with her first child. She's tall too (I think 5'8") but 85 lbs!! And she was only 20 years old!!!
That child is 6 1/2 now and her daughter is 4 and she looks great! You would NEVER know.
Don't let the nurse bully you or make you feel bad about it. If you stay under 45 lbs gained, you'll be fine taking it all off within a year of giving birth. The first 20 will come off in a few weeks!

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
I'm 5'9" and 28 weeks and noone has commented on the 30 pounds I've already gained (and good for them because they don't want to mess with me!)
I looked at your pic- you honestly look fab! My face, thighs and arms have definitely filled out more than you but don't sweat it! It'll come off eventually!

i agree. my sister is 5'8" and she had gained 45 with her daughter. she said she lost 30 right away and had to try a little at the last 15 but it's not a big deal.
i worked for an ob for 6 years and women gained all sorts of weight. i know girls that gained 60lbs and even one that the dr threatened to put in the hospital bc she had an eating disorder and wasn't eating at all. we are all different shapes and sizes but as long as you and the baby are healthy, i wouldn't give it a second thought. now is not the time to be worrying about your weight, you can do that AFTER the baby is here. that nurse should know better than to make you feel bad. like you said, the dr didn't even notice and she really wasn't even concerned when she realized you weren't swelling etc.

Re: Mean nurse made me want to cry!
I gained 30 lbs when I was 27 weeks! I then lost a few pounds bc when you get larger you get full a lot quicker and can't eat as much. That's ridiculous that she said that!! I wouldnt put ANY thought into that.
