Question

I’ve decided not to weigh myself during my pregnancy. I’ve struggled with eating disorders in the past, I’m 18 weeks but I’m really active and I don’t eat anything unhealthy or processed and I just don’t know what I would gain from knowing the EXACT number, my midwife has respected my decision. I’m just wondering if this is that rare or if other women feel the same way?

Answer

I am the same way but my midwife says I HAVE to keep track and I need to tell them :( I’ve gained 8 pounds in 18 weeks.

Answer

I’m in recovery from anorexia and am doing the same. I got a bout of courage (stupidity?) and asked my OB and he wouldn’t tell me lol. He said he’d tell me if I needed to change something, but otherwise he wouldn’t. I’m glad he didn’t. He knows my history really well (one of my mom’s best friends) and is very respectful and cautious when it comes to my mental health.

Answer

Feel the exact same way. That’s a great ides to not weigh yourself and stress about it! Just listen to your body. If you’re hungry-eat!

Answer

I was actually upset because I gained 2 more pounds than I should have at this stage. My doctor told me she prefers not to weight her patients because she finds it’s better for both patient and mom to not know. She said the people that weigh themselves less tend to gain a healthy amount of weight. You may have the right idea!

Answer

I took have struggled with eating disorders but I have been in tuned with my weight I have gained 3 pounds so far and I will be 20 weeks on Thursday but I do eat all of the time. I am not concerned about it coming back as I am gaining weight for my baby girl. she is measuring weeks ahead in terms of growth (I'm 5'9 and my husband 6' and weighed 10 pounds at birth) ultimately it's your decision. Good luck to ya mama
