WIC and weight gain?

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
So I had a wic appt today and they said I was starving my baby! Im 16 weeks and they said I should have at least gained ten pounds by now and I've only gained 4... :( I have been eating like I always have.. Now I'm scared...

  • Well if your ob isn't worried, I would say screw what wic thinks...lol
  • Dont worry! I didnt put a single pound on until I was 20 weeks! My doc said that was perfectly okay! As long as your baby is growing normally you are fine! I cant believe the crap that WIC says to pregnant women! I am sorry!
  • Starting 2nd tri you should gain a pound a week.hmmm...ok
  • Don't listen to them! If your doctor says your weight is good than don't worry about. My doctor literally called the WIC people stupid.

  • The wic also told me that my whole pregnancy and they had me taking some nutrition classes but my ob said i was fine so o wouldn't worry :) I also delivered a healthy little girl so I wasn't starving her
  • Thanks ladies, I have a doctor appt in a week.. I feel a ton better now.
