Weight Gain???

I know I've gained about 30 pounds since becoming preggo and since my first appt all my docs have told me I was over weight!!!! I think it's complete bs. I won't say what I weighed before or what I weigh now, but by looking at my pic would you guys think I was? (mind you I am 30 weeks along) I've never been a stick but I have been a curvy chick and I don't think it's fair for my doctors to say I'm overweight when I know damn well I'm not. [-X

    I'm 27 weeks and my mw said I've gained.too much for only being this far. I've gained 21lbs. What do they want me to do, starve my baby?

    THANKS! I know it's their job to put you in a weight category, but that thing is so off sometimes!!! They should just leave it alone. Every woman is different. I am so offended everytime I go and they look at my weight all wide eyed and tell me I need to be careful.

    You look fine.

    @Jess510 thanks. Idk why I just needed to hear it from people I don't know. My mom is horribly honest and says WOAH everytime I send her a new pic. And obviously hubby knows better lol

    I started at 140 and am now 180. They told me about it and said to watch it. I am 35 weeks and could still get my regular pants on, just not close to button. My bump goes straight out..... and my feet are swollen. You can still see my hip bones... and about 10 pounds in extra boobs!

    I think the whole "obese" thing is such BS...jus cause we're "heavier " doesn't make us obese...hellllllo muscle is heavier than fat...plus you gotta figure not only are we carrying a baby inside of us we're also gaining milk in our breast...I'm gonna be 39 weeks on Tuesday and my weight has always been up and down growing up...as of now I'm at 30lbs gained but I feel like its so much more lol
  • mandiixmayhemmandiixmayhem
    @Jess510 Ugh I hated that. I didn't start to pop till 20 weeks. Just looked like I stuffed my face all day long! lol

    @maggie SEE its bs! They go by what the scale says and your height! They should just look at you before they decide to say your overweight. Ahh lucky. I can't get my pants on. But then again they were pretty much painted on me to begin with lol

    @mommy2b2011 They just ignore all that. I never go by what the scale tells me. I go by how I feel. Haha I think we all feel like its so much more than it actually is! OHHH your so close!!
  • mommy2b2011mommy2b2011
    @mandiixmayhem yeah but the closer I get to my due date the more I feel like she's gonna be stubborn and come late lol it would be my luck

    I gained 5 lbs over what the wic people thought was healthy for how far along I was. They told me I needed to stop eating so much and so I told her fine ill start smoking more that should hinder my weight loss, she looked at me like I was nuts, I then saiid to her don't tell me im fat im pregnant hormonal and you look obese. Lol. I think u have a cute baby bump!

    I was told I was obese at 8 wks. Mind you I were a 16, 40DD, 5'7'', and played soccer for many of yrs and go to the gym 5x a Wk do not eat pork or red meat. I was told to not gain more than 15 lbs 20 tops. I'm 21+ wks and as of 3 wks ago was 2 lbs less than when I got pregnant. However my tummy is pretty large.
    I gained 49lbs with each of my daughters so maybe this boy is being kind.

    I think you are fine and they seem to forger those studies are ages old and unfortunately women ate no longer built like before. You look adorable
