my doctor messed up.

soo i went in to the dr. at 5 weeks, they weighed me, i was 149.

Came back at 8 weeks, they weighed me and i was 150. The dr. then proceeded to give me a VERY stern talking to and said "i CANNOT gain more than 10 pounds and i am gaining weight way too fast"

I was astounded and couldnt believe he thought i was gaining too much when i only gained one pound haha. 

so i went to my 13 week appt and a different doctor goes "what the heck, what was your prepregnancy weight this pregnancy?" and I replied "149 pounds why?" 

she laughs and then says "they have your FIRST prepregnancy weight of 131 written down so it looks like you have gained 18 pounds in two months" haha

no wonder the other dr. was so hard on me. She fixed it and now i am allowed to gain the normal 20-35 haha.

This happened to me but in reverse. The nurse wrote down that I was 137 lbs at my first appointment when I was 127. At my next appointment I was 123 lbs and they freaked because they thought I lost 14 lbs in a month. I've been sick but not THAT sick.

Wait... they thought you went from 131 to 150 between weeks 5 and 8! Holy cow... I can't believe they didn't double check that... I mean that means you would have gained 6lbs per week!!

I am glad they put you in a more normal range... although I have my own issues with "allowed to gain" figures... mostly when they try to convince you to maintain for the last tri or something...
