Sooo this is my third pregnancy, and my heaviest starting weight with all 3. I’m incredibly self conscious about my changing body, mainly the weigh gain. My first trimester is always awful, intense nausea and regular vomiting, but unlike others who claim to lose weight in this phase, I always gain pretty quickly since all I want/can eat are typically really carb heavy foods which is normally not such a constant or large part of my diet.

Anyway, I’ve been way more focused on the embarrassment and shame from being weighed at every prenatal appointment. I know this isn’t now I “normally” am, but I just can’t help but feel judged by the doctors/nurses and am constantly anticipating them making a comment. With my first pregnancy, at one point one of the doctors I should really try and slow down my weight gain, and let me tell you thank god there wasn’t a cliff nearby bc I would have jumped off it lol.

I had a friend tell me that I’m actually able to decline the weigh in, and that I should if it’s such a mental burden to me. I even googled it and it’s totally true, yet I can’t help but feel nervous about doing it.

Has anyone else done this? Or at least has similar stressful feelings about being weighed every freaking time you go in? Thank you for reading this all of you did 😅😅
