Excited about my weight gain

Mo

Am 22 weeks today.have put on 20 pounds since getting pregnant, my bump is also huge for my weeks, and my clothes stopped fitting at 13 weeks.

I just feel so excited about how my pregnancy has been. I love my weight gain. Given I have always struggled to put on some pounds all my life. I love my big bump. And I love that my baby is measuring a week ahead. I don't think my face is fat. My boobs are fuller but haven't grown as much as I would like them to. My hips are definitely bigger since I can't get my trousers through, my butt looks flatter but this could be an illusion because of the bigger stomach. Either way, I feel like a fertility goddess.

I don't mind the weight because I know am pregnant and it is inevitable. My only prayer is that retain some of my pregnancy weight even after birth because I definitely don't want to go back to my prepregnancy weight (105 pounds).

My doc and nurses all like slime people so they keep telling me am fine and try to get me on a diet that will keep my prepregnancy weight. But I keep telling them, I have always had a problem gaining weight because of my high metabolism, somehow they imagine everyone wants to lose weight. But I don't.

Being underweight ain't fun. I was underweight despite eating 3 warm meals a day before pregnancy and now that I have finally reached my dream weight, my doc is trying to get me to eat only one warm meal a day and I told her straight forward that ain't happening. I weight 125 pounds (57kg) and am 6 months pregnant and no way am going to cut on my calories.

My weightgain is one of the positive things about being pregnant and I celebrate it everytime I weight myself and see an increment. I feel low when I don't put on weight in a week.

Anyone in my shoes? Anyone happy to gain weight?
