25-6-2009 - 25 Week OB appt

My mood while writing this blog:
fat

So I went to see my OB for my 25 week check. She tested my urine, weighed me, did the doppler and the fundal measurement. I am measuring 25 weeks exactly, Avery's heartrate is strong in the 150's. But she was concerned about my weight gain. I saw her first at 8 weeks and since then I have gained 15lbs. Apparently that is too much (it "should be" 12-13lbs at 25 weeks) because she sounded awfully concerned and told me my total goal is 25lbs. If you want to get technical, I started my pregnancy at 114lb and now I am 134lbs so I gained 20 total. I thought if you were average weight to start - your goal was 25-35lbs?? How am I supposed to only gain 10 more pounds. I am so screwed. Anyone else getting concerns from the doctor about weight? I have to cut back the crap I am eating and start exercising. I went for a long walk today but had so much bad food today. DANG IT! I can't believe I did this. I am mad at myself.

Tell your doctor to shove it! Your weight gain is fine. Honestly I had a friend that gained 100 lbs with each of her 4 pregnancies and nothing bad ever happened. She had a hard time losing it with her last 2, but she did and she's back to her skinny self. I guess doctors just think you should only have baby-related weight, but girl....when you're craving you're craving and you better listen! Who cares how much you gain. I say as long as it's 60 or less then tell your doctor to mind their own business! ;)

honestly I wouldnt worry about it too much, the last thing you need to is worry like that.I think 'averages' are dangerous. Just cut out the junk and try to stay active x x

You should be happy you have doctors who help you with your weight, is really hard to lose the weight, with my twins i was only allow to gain 35lbs and i gained 38 or so, which was good, but now i'm really watching my weight and my goal is 25, most woman make the huge mistake or eating too much and honestly is harder to get it out of your system. Don't streess and dont' worry so much but watch what you eat.

what rubbish! even the top celebraties can whack on the pounds when they're pregnant and they always lose it again. this is the one time in your life when you don't have to stress about weight gain. enjoy your pregnancy and worry about what is left over after, not now. some people naturally get a lot bigger in pregnancy and go back to nothing, others not so much and can hang on to extra after, every body is different, there is no one size fits all!

hun I would NOT worry about your weight gain! you look GREAT!!! this is your first and everyone I know usualy with ther first gain...you are at 20 pounds and 15 weeks to go so a pound a week you are at 35 still in the "good" range. heck even if you gain another 20 who cares!!! just enjoy it. I am worried I am not gaining enough!! 8 pounds! my thyroid is going wacky again so....at least you have no probs and god willing dont ok!!!

I really would not worry about it either! My doctor says 1 pound a week is average, so 40 pounds in the 40 weeks is fine. I was "average" before I got pregnant and I am trying to not gain more than 35 pounds total. But knowing that if I slip up and gain 40, my doctor is still okay with that! So do not worry, and no you should not be trying to lose weight right now! You have only gained 20 pounds so far....we have 14 or 15 weeks to go....that is only 35 pounds exactly if you gain 1 pound a week from now on! I think you are fine! :)

I dont think you should worry about it one little bit. My weight before I got pregnant was average. My Dr said my goal should be 25-35 lb gain. Ive already gained 30lbs and shes not concerned other than to say gaining anything over that is not baby or anything that goes along with baby. That just means it will be my problem to loose later! Im not worried though. With my other two kids I gained 60 lbs and had no problems getting it off. Im not eating any more than before and Im not eating more junk than normal. The Drs just seem to think you should only gain Baby and not a ounce of fat. Your body knows what its doing and everyones body is different. Everyone cant expect to have the average weight gain. Dont worry yourself!! xx ;)
