Good morning ladies,

This is something that has been weighing on me for the majority of my pregnancy. Pun intended. This is my first pregnancy and I am enjoying it thoroughly. I have been constantly hungry and I am satisfying my hunger pains with whatever I want!

I am 22 weeks along when I started this journey to motherhood I weighed about 175-180lbs. I am now about 205-210lbs. I’m 5’ 10” and I’m proportionately gaining weight throughout my body besides my stomach where my healthy happy baby boy is!

My problem comes from when I get weighed at the doctors office. I feel almost shamed when I get onto the scale and see that number rise. I gain about 6 lbs per 2 weeks and obviously my doctor isn’t happy about that.

Of course I wish I didn’t give into the late night snacks or 2nd breakfasts but baby gets what baby wants!

Anyone else out there that has this anxious feeling about being judged by the obgyn and can I say something to end the consistent ridicule like

Thanks for your feed back !
