Worst part about being PG during this time of year.....

is that when I got to the Dr's now I'm in heavy clothes and boots!!!!  I went today for my appt and it looked like I gained 5 lbs according to the scale b/c I had on a jean jacket and my uggs, last time I went I was wearing flip flops and a tank top.

I'm really going to hate the scale the next few weeks  Luckily I weighed myself this morning before I put on all the heavy stuff and I had gained the normal 1 lb a week.

No matter what kind of shoe I take them off. Coats, etc it all comes off. If I could get naked on that scale I probably would. I get so upset even if I weighed myself in the buff after a good poop that AM. I HATE scale variances. It's pretty pathetic really. Do they care a pound or two? Not so much I am sure. And if you are always more there then you don't gain the difference between yours and theirs. I need to get a grip but I HATE scales.

I don't look. Ignorance is bliss.

I gotta try the whole removal of shoes next time....seeing that number did not make me feel good.

Lol!  That happened to me at my last appointment.  Hate it!

I always remove my shoes and put down any coat/jacket and purse I have.  I figure they want an accurate portrayal of MY weight, not my clothes.  Although most of my appointments are in the late afternoon, so thats not really all that accurate....

Me TOOO!!! I gained 5lbs in 2 weeks, I was like no way. I didn't feel like taking my uggs off but I will next time, my back just hurt too much today.

This! And I'm not sure what my prepregnancy weight was so that is even better in my book!

I take my shoes off and dress in thinner clothing. I'm dumb like that. I also weigh myself at home so I can tell myself, "That's scale is wrong. I know cause I checked this morning."

I hate that my Dr. still uses one of those slide the weights scales. No way is that thing as accurate as my digital scale at home. I'm not too worried about my weight gain, because it took me so long to start gaining at all, but still join the 21st century please!

I also hate the slide scale, the nurse is usually like, "oh well that looks right" and it drives me crazy.  I'm sure they make enough money to invest in some new scales.

I also hate getting on the scale, but i've struggled with my weight my whole life so I've always hated getting on the scale.  I just keep telling myself that I have a reason to gain some weight now.  I've only gained about 18 lbs in the past 27 weeks, so I don't think that's too bad.  Just hoping it doesn't get too crazy in the next 13 weeks!

I thought the same thing.  I just didn't look at the scale.  )  I have to go to the endocrinologist today and I'm not going to look there either.  I weigh myself at the same time in the same clothes at home.  I'll just stick with that.

I agree-I hate these scales.  I feel like the girl who weighs me does not even wait for the thing to stop bouncing and just guesstimates my weight.  My scale at home says I am three pounds less, and I am going with that!
