I'm 34 weeks pregnant now and my Dr. was looking over my charts and noticed that I had gained a total of 42 pounds from the time I concieved to present. I'm 5'7 and I weighed a low 105 at start, now I'm close to the end of my pregnancy and I weigh 147 pounds... well that's a good thing I think and I believe that I look damn good too. I look very healthy and fit. Anyways, my Dr. turns to me and is asking me what I've been eating and if I "want a big baby" in a very rude tone of voice. I've always been insecure about my weight and that pissed me off something bad. I snapped back at him telling him that I have been eating good and healthy, (which is true) and I told him that I just want a healthy baby. He then told me I had better slow down try not to gain over a pound a weak from here on out. idk if it's my hormones acting up or what but what he said really hurt my feelings. Do you think he was telling me that because I could cause complications to my pregnancy if I kept eatting the way I have been and put on more weight? I do eat a ton of food a day but it's very healthy foods and juices/milks/water. What have you guys gained in your pregnancy and have you had a Dr. snap at you about your weight? Oh yeah I forgot that he gave me a diet to follow on.... stupid book is all low fat crap. I'm sorry but I'm staying with my Vit. D milk!!!!
