Help mamas. I feel super insecure. With my last pregnancy I gained only 15 pounds. This pregnancy I started at 136, dropped to 130, and am up to 150 at almost 28 weeks. From my appointment 5 weeks ago to now, they said I gained 10 pounds. My doctor made me feel kind of bad about it, unintentionally. He was saying that that’s about 5 pounds higher than they typically want. I also feel like a lot of it was water. We spent all weekend in the sun, eating like garbage too, and I chugged water before my appointment, and had my glucose drink.

I need some words of encouragement or something. I went to the last appointment on almost an empty stomach, and today a full stomach and water. So I think that may be it, but I feel so ashamed. Now I’m also scared that it’ll come back that I’m positive for GD.. which gives me high chances of type 2 later in life.
