Asked my doctor how much weight I should gain (LOL)

So I asked my doctor how much weight I should gain at my first ultrasound Wednesday. For reference, I'm 5'7, 174 (I've lost 5 lbs from being so nauseous). He charmingly and politely said,

"You know, in the past 1-2years studies have found that you don't actually need to gain weight during your pregnancy. Obviously don't lose weight, but just maintain it."

🤔😒

Just tell me I'm fat Doc.. I know. Lol
