Should I be concerned...

kmgosa · March 2013

Yesterday I had my 24 week appointment.. I am actually 24 weeks 5 days.. and baby is measuring big more like 25 weeks 4 days.. anyways, I stood on the dreaded scale and realized that I have gained 29 pounds so far..

Thanks for the comforting words from some of you! As a FTM I am freaking out about everything. I just want a healthy baby and to return to my normal weight shortly after giving birth. I was/am a runner and avid workout person and really want to bounce bac

Here's my advice for pregnancy weight gain worries:
As long as you are eating well and drinking your water...and you know you aren't indulging too much...get on the scale backwards at the doctor. Ask the nurses not to mention the number to you...and

Thank you! you put my mind at ease.. I am also obviously weight obsessed/conscious and my doctor really didn't seemed concerned until I brought it up yesterday at my appointment. He just recommended eating more protein and wa
