Anyone stressing about your weight?

I know this is ridiculous, but I've ALWAYS had to battle with my weight. At my appointment today, I weighed 170....holy hell. I'm only 5'5". I'm very muscular, but I should still be only about 150-155. So, now it's got me all upset. I plan to continue exercising (once the m/s lets up), but I'm still worried. Anyone else about my size? How did you handle the weight gain?

I'm not normally this vain, I swear!!!

Yes, even though everyone tells me not worry.  I retain water like a sea sponge, I'm hoping that a lot of the weight I'm gaining is just water.

But then again, I just ate Chiptole for dinner, so I guess I can't be all that worried.

Not sure I am much help...but I'm barely even pg and this is crossing my mind ... don't feel vain. Since January I have done a poor job taking care of myself when it comes to weight, I think the stress and pain of what I've been through the past yr has gotten to me. I have gained 1over 5lbs. I am only 5'4" and have always weighed around 125 or 130...well I am in my upper 140's now and haven't even begun to gain pg weight. I have promised myself to be very healthy during pg and after the baby I will work on the weight, not focus or think about it now. I am blessed to be pg and want so badly for this baby to stick but in the back of my mind I think dear lord I am going to be butterball!!

I am. ?I'm 40 pounds heavier right now than I was the day I got married. ?I gained 15 after my losses that I never got off before getting pregnant with this one. ?

My doc says I can still gain 19 more pounds but no more! ?that seems like a lot but I'm sure it will happen. ?I'm just going to have to really get back on the stick after I deliver this baby!! ??

Yes I posted about this the other day. I've gained 29 lbs already in this pregnancy , and it's making me so sick to my stomach. I was aready 155 when I got PG,I had just lost all the weight from being PG with DS by doing WW. My OB is not happy with my weight gained at all, I have an appointment tomorrow, I'm dreading getting on the scale. But it seems like my body had a mind of it's own. The sad part is, I have not been eating bad at all.?

I wouldn't say I'm stressing, but I'm trying to watch how quickly I'm gaining. I gained too much too fast with Clark (27lb in 27 weeks - doc only "gave" me a 25lb allowance for the whole pg). So my stress is just in watching how quickly I gain. I know the gain will come on its own so I don't want to help it. Until the last couple weeks I hadn't gained anything, and now I'm only up about 2-3 lb. I'm happy I've kept it slow.
