Doc said I've gained enough!?

Question

I went to the doctor this past week. She told me that I've gained enough weight for this entire pregnancy, but I feel like I've only gained it in my stomach, not actually fat! 
I started at 119, but here's the story. I feel like that's not my real weight. Before I got pregnant, I graduated school, planned and had my wedding, juggled a full time job and moved to Hawaii with my husband. That was a lot of stress! I lost about 10 pounds.
Normally I was 130. 
Now I'm 138, and they're going off of the weight I was when I first got pregnant.
What's your thoughts?

Answer

Omg you're still tiny. Rawr!!! I'm sorry they said that to you. 
I'm sorry but if I can't have wine I need cookies, I've been on a diet most of my life and not doing it now! 
You do you girl

Answer

Don't worry that's ridiculous unless you have diabetes or another health risk. I started almost underweight at 105lbs and now weigh 136lbs at 26 weeks, my doctor is nowhere near concerned and said she won't be until weight gain of 50-60lbs and even then not a big deal.

Answer

They are flipping out over a 19 lb weight gain?  They would have a field day my first pregnancy...I started out at 120 and was almost 190 when I gave birth!  Guess what, I lost 40 giving birth, another 20 in the first few weeks post-partum due to breast feeding and no real appetite to speak of...and the runs from the epidural (a fun fact no one tells you can happen...2 weeks of the shits from not being used to labor drugs, woo hoo!).  The last 10 just fell off over time from trying to keep up with my kid as he got bigger and more mobile.  Point is, baby will still grow and develop just fine, and unless you're diabetic and have to worry about that, the weight will come off after baby.

Answer

You really can't help what you gain. The baby will keep getting bigger and that doesn't sound like a lot to me. Maybe you need a new OB?

Answer

Wait, you've only gained 19lbs and she told you you've gained enough? I mean yea technically that's probably enough but if she was implying that you're gaining too much and need to stop, I really don't think that's necessary.

Answer

That just sounds weird to me... I live in Hawaii too and I just feel like there's not to many OBs that I like... It took me a while to finally decide on mine. If you're military and on prime, you're probably at Tripler?

Answer

Don't listen to them!!
