So to begin with I am slightly over weight. My dr told me not to gain any weight until 20 weeks, meanwhile I was up 7 lbs before I saw him.

From my 12 week to my 16 week appt, I thought I was eating fairly well and exercising. My weight hadn’t changed at home. When I went to my 16 week appt he was concerned because I was up 1.1lbs... he asked if I was eating right and still exercising. And reemphasized not gaining any weight till after 20 weeks.

My 20 week appt is next week and I know I’m up 5lbs (total of 11lbs gain so far) I’m just worried he’s going to make me feel terrible. Any advise for dealing with weight focused drs? It’s making me dread appts.
