Weight Gain

Jessica

Hey ladies how much weight have you gained so far? I was between 113 - 115 before pregnancy and now at 24w1d 126. I have to see a midwife because I am uncomplicated and use a military facility. The midwife was telling me I needed to slow my weight gain down since I gained 11lbs in the last 8 weeks. She wants me at a max of gaining 1lbs a week for the rest of pregnancy.

What have your doctors said? Am I wrong to be annoyed that she thinks I need to gain less than what my body is doing naturally? I am not not eating a lot more than normal.
