Gained weight, too much?

Question

I can't stop crying. Before getting pregnant I lost 30 lbs and had a BMI of 32. Once pregnant i continued to go to the dietician to stay on the right track. I'm 17 weeks along and gained a total of 5,5 lbs. The dietician was really mean to me. 😪 she asked me if the doctor was already aware of the weight gain. Like if I had a dangerous disease or something. She wasn't supportive or motivating at all. 😪 I feel so bad right now.

Answer

She's an insensitive twat and a fat shamer who has no business being in the helping professions. You are pregnant. You will gain some weight when you are pregnant and it's fine. You will lose some afterwards too. As long as you gain a moderate or average amount, you will lose this after birth easily. Don't worry about your weight too much, ok? Women only have a couple babies in their lives. It's a special time. Try to slow down and enjoy it. You are growing a human being with your body. It's the most common miracle you will ever experience. A few pounds are nothing in comparison.

Answer

Screw the dietition! Take your business else where! Nobody should make you feel bad, especially a professional.

Answer

Don't feel bad your weight gain sounds great! If your dr hasn't mentioned it then your fine. I would find a new dietitian so they won't make you feel bad again. Best of luck 😊

Answer

😒 not a nice person! I'm sorry you went through that.

Answer

You'd think professionals would know how to be......professional. You're pregnant and sometimes you gain weight even if you're following a 'diet'. With my second I only gained 6lbs but with my last pregnancy I gained 32lbs. It's been a week and have lost 16 of that. I was always way more concerned than my doctor, she just kept telling me 'do your best' and I did. This pregnancy I just gained more. Don't listen to the negativity. As long as you are being healthy, that's all that matters.

Answer

I'm sorry honey that's messed up!! They don't understand your baby need that weight, screw that unsupportive prick!! Big hugs.

Answer

Uh... Bloat? Extra blood? You have a baby growing inside of you.,,?

Answer

Maybe you should just see your OB only and see the nutritionist when baby gets here

Answer

Don't feel bad! With my first I gained 27lbs by 20 weeks. 53kbs overall for a total of 276lbs when I went in to labor. 
I've gained 4.3lbs, I'm 19w5d and thought I was doing great.

Answer

So I lost 100 lbs last year. I gained back 10-15 and got pregnant this year. I'm up 25lbs + and just now going into 3rd trimester. I had to stop weight lifting early on. I also struggled to stay full on my clean eating plan. I'm still considered plus size / overweight at time of conception, my tummy was gone. Now it's back but that is ok. I go in every month concerned and my OB has been relaxed and tells me take it easy and just try my best. Next week I will see how my gestational test went. I would hate to be a client of your dietician :)
