I gained so far 60 pounds and I'm already in my 35th week. I still have time to go, however my Doctor has been scaring me saying she is worried my baby may be too big and there's a chance I may have to get a C-Section. I really rather not and want to deliver vaginally. Anyone else experiencing this?? Feedback please.
Of course you should listen to your doctor and not us but just anecdotally - I have a friend who always gains 60-70lb when pregnant (3times) and then has "normal" weight babies. She did end up with a c section with one but after trying for vaginal.
I gained 70lbs with my first, I had a 7 pound baby. If your blood sugar has been monitored and the rest of your health is doing good. I would check to see why she feels you are going to have a big baby. Ultrasound and measuring are not accurate either.
I gained 85lbs my first pregnancy and she was only 6lbs 4.2oz. Second time I gained 65lbs and she was 7lbs even. I wouldn't let them scare you into a c-section....
My doula delivered vaginally an 11lb baby AT HOME. Also, it was a VBAC!!!

Gah, cant even believe I am answering this. But weight gain does not mean a big baby. I have gained less than 6 lbs due to horrible HG and my baby is measuring big. My last 2 were 10lbs and 8 lbs, and did not gain with them either. In fact my last 2 pregnancies I was down about 40lbs. Just because you gain a lot of weight does not mean your are having a big baby. Or maybe it does, I am not a medical professional.
How did THIS get flagged?! I mean, they are all ridiculous, but this one was actually the kind of answer she said she was looking for... she was looking for people to share experiences and give feedback... smh

Excuse all of your rude comments but I wasn't asking medical advice. I am pretty smart to know that you all are not doctors! However as I read these forums I notice women experiencing similar situations so if you aren't having a similar situation don't comment!

2) Are you looking for aperson who gained the same amount of weight but had a super ideal labor and delivery so you can latch on to that person's experience despite your doctor's professional opinion? I'm assuming you're aware that everybody's experience is different... so asking the question is almost useless....
3) That being said, I think your question is useless. Who are you by the way?
4) We can post rude comments if we want. Welcome to the world of public forums and internet strangers. Feel free to complain and whine about it then get ready for a gif party...

Rude? No these ladies have been kind actually. Whats rude is you using the flag button as a dislike button. Thats not what it is for.

If you're reading these forums and see other women with similar experiences, why make a new post about it?
Also, the thing about public forums is that anyone can respond to what you say. Because, you know, public.

For real!? Nobody here was rude. Why come on here and ask strangers that you've never met to confirm or debunk what your doctor is saying. I've been largely ignoring the drive by ridiculousness, but seriously...grow up and quit flagging people for being slightly sarcastic!

What kind of feedback do you want? Sorry your baby is big? Sucks that you gained 60 pounds?
I've gained less weight than you and my baby is also measuring big. Guess what? There's absolutely nothing you can do about it. I was upset at first, but if a scheduled c-section is the safest thing for me and LO, then that's what I need to do. Nothing any of us can tell you is going to change that.
Why did you flag @kirotea (who responded very nicely) and the other responders? The flag button isn't a dislike button. With that said, we aren't your personal OB. Just because you've gained 60 lbs doesn't mean you're having a large baby either. I would request a growth scan to get a better idea of the size of your baby. However, those aren't always accurate either. Like PP have said, every woman/pregnancy is different.
Then say nothing at all. This is for people that have experience with the same situation! Smh
Do you really not understand what PUBLIC FORUM means?
No one was being rude. Yes, many mothers around the world are experiencing EXACTLY what you are experiencing. You know how much that affects your situation? Zero. You know who can tell you more about your situation? Your doctor.
I've only gained 5 lbs this whole pregnancy and LO is measuring three weeks ahead. So your weight really doesn't have much to do with it. Baby will grow how it wants.
Also, none of these responses have been rude. Grow a set and get over it! You're on a public forum and there have been plenty of similar posts. If you were on here more often, you'd see that. Think before you post or you're opening yourself to ridicule and "rude" responses.

LOL apparently telling her to "grow up" is considered abuse.
