Umm commenting on weight?

Question

I'm about 13 weeks and have gained 4 lbs and when I was at a family gathering people kept commenting about how I should watch my weight while im pregnant and not to eat too much. 
I told them I'd gained 4 pounds and the doctor said that was healthy and a family friend (older man) said "well you don't want to gain ANOTHER pound" when I went to eat cake😁 what the?? Is this normal? I'm not overweight, I'm pretty petite. I was just so taken aback by people feeling the freedom t talk about my weight while pregnant? Anyone else experience this?

Answer

I'd of slapped them and grabbed three pieces of cake 💁🏻

Answer

I am with you!! I am 12 weeks today and people have been commenting on my weight gain and eating habits very openly. I am trying my best to keep my thoughts to myself but it's getting difficult. I'm only listening to my doctor and if she tells me it's an issue then I'll listen! Besides that I'm working out (more than those  who are commenting too!!!!) and eating healthy foods with some treats. I'm going to gain weight IM PREGNANT!!

Answer

Weird. I would ignore them. They obviously have some strange and incorrect views on pregnancy! Maybe its the generation. My grandmother said some really off stuff to me when I was pregnant or nursing my first. I realized after some time that she was just told really different things when she was pregnant 60 years ago. Enjoy your darn cake mama. Its really the only time we get to enjoy eating as much as we want with an excuse! :)

Answer

I always eat what I want and only cut down on sugary things but if
I crave them I will eat them obviously ;) don't worry, depends on how you are feeling. I feel sick on some days and on other days I can eat everything, so I am happy when I can actually enjoy food. I am sure you are eating good and you will gain baby weight anyway, you can't avoid it. So stopping yourself from eating the cake won't help it. It's your baby and your body so you decide what to eat and when. Just tell them to keep the comments to themselves. ;) enjoy your cake;)

Answer

I am almost 12 weeks and have gained 6 lbs. I am 5'5" and started at 124. I really only felt nauseous when I am hungry (and was feeling hungry often) so I tried to eat small but constantly...and usually pretty healthy. But with some aversions it was hard to eat salads and smoothies (the textures grossed me out). Anyway, my belly is looking bigger with bloating and water retention too. But my sister was just telling me I need to slow my weight gain down...that I still have a while to go...I have been exercising too. I just feel like every woman is different and since this is my first pregnancy maybe this is my normal. Just trying to find it out. But worried people will comment on my weight gain or that I am going to gain too much this pregnancy.

Answer

Tell them to kindly mind their own business

Answer

I'm the same way I've only gained 3 pounds but my stomach just looks so big and stuff it's strange I guess it's mostly water or something
