Hello all. Just went to my 3rd doctor's appointment yesterday. The doc said that I have gained 17 pounds. I was devastated. The first time I weighed there, they weighed me with my heavy coat on and my dress boots (with heels) and the 2 other times, I have had my shoes on. I'm hoping that they are a little off on the weight gain. I do eat fast food at least every day for one meal (trying to stop this habit) and I just cut out pop a week ago and now trying to finish all the juice in the house so I can get off of that as well (extra calories). I know the baby needs food but I need to be healthier instead of just eating junk. My body just craves it so much though. I'm trying to stay within the 30 pounds that you are supposed to gain and not gain any extra. So back to the grocery store for healthy food and back to the kitchen to start cooking dinner again. We scheduled our very 1st scan for the 22nd, I'm so excited, I can't wait. I'm anxious to see the baby and find out what we are having (if baby cooperates).

I'm not looking forward to hearing how much weight I've gained every month.

Good luck with your scan! Hope the LO cooperates

I wont be surprised if i have gained that to be honest, i know i have put on at least 14lbs already anyway! i'm hoping it will even out over the rest of my pregnancy! lol

they weighed me at 5 weeks but haven't weighed me since

I've gained .. 43 pounds.. so far.

I've gotten over it. These last few months it has slowed down though. Like last month I only gained just under 4 pounds, whereas months before that I gained between 10-15 pounds.. lol.

You're doing fine hon, cutting out pop completely is a big deal. Pop is terrible for weight gain (should know, is a addict lol). Don't cut out the juice though its good for you! I'm sure you'll do fine with weight gain during this pregnancy, plus you lose a lot when you have the baby. Especially if you're retaining water.

Good luck on your scan hon! Hope the little one cooperates
