Should I find a new Doctor??

Question

Ok so one thing that has been bugging me sooo much lately is that I’ve only gained about 8 pounds so far during my pregnancy (I’m 21 weeks) and my Dr is making it sound so bad like he’s making me feel like I need to be working out 24/7 or that I need to diet or something... idk if I should get a new Dr or what because I absolutely hate feeling like I’m fat and unhealthy or doing something wrong.

Answer

Your dr is saying that gaining 8lbs by 21 weeks is to much? That’s not bad at all!

Answer

diet?? wow, he is a jerk. Some people gain, some barely don't throughout pregnancy. You're healthy girl! I would just find a new OB. He just need a tampon! 😂

Answer

That is insane! Not sure what to think about that🤔 8lbs is not much at all. To be honest I think I would switch.

Answer

Ummm...considering that I've already gained 28/29ish pounds at 29 weeks and my OB hasn't said a work about it, I'd say that your OB is a jerk!

Answer

What omG your Dr must be looking at the wrong chart. You look beautiful for 21 wks :)

Answer

I was freaking out bc I gained like 20lbs by 32 weeks and my Dr said I shouldn't be worried as long as I'm fine and baby is fine :)

Answer

8lbs is not a lot it seems average/normal to gain for 21 weeks, I was under BMI when I got pregnant and lost ten pounds due to morning sickness, then gained 11 pounds back to date now and I’m 22 weeks pregnant! As long as you’re eating healthy and working out regularly, I would not worry. But I would definitely find a new doctor or midwife!

Answer

Girl, your just fine. Ignore him, he really wouldve hated me I gained 25 my entire pregnancy. Your healthy(:

Answer

Omg I’ve gained a bit more than twice that and I’m 21 weeks. No one has said anything to me about it!
