Also - I'm not concerned about them not being safe. I used them last time and my doctor had no issues. I don't love the idea of getting a spray tan while pregnant, which is why I'd rather just use a self-tanner.

8) Other factoids:
If you don't think I'm accounting for your data (or you want to check), let me know and I'll update my spreadsheet.

I feel this. Doing the math on my pre pregnancy weight to what I currently weigh makes me cringe. To be fair, I also gained a few pounds when we were on vacation over the holidays (and likely when I conceived) so I will definitely be bringing that up with my OB so she doesn't scold me too much. And I also had scale shock when I randomly weighed myself in the evening rather than the morning, usually I weigh in the morning before eating. It added like 4 pounds!! Add to that I'm super backed up in the #2 department, and that just makes for a whole bag of weight gain guilt.
Agree with hoping the snow melts soon so outdoor activities can be a thing again! I love kayaking and I've already informed my husband and teenager that they will need to be on-call to help me get out of the kayak if I happen to go out solo.
Before this pregnancy, I lost all but 20 pounds of that weight (from late October 2019), so I was still heavier than I wanted to be. Right now I'm up 2lbs from the start, and I'm happy with that. It wasn't until about 16 weeks last time that I began to gain rapidly.
TL;DR: your provider should support you, no matter what, as long as you're doing your best for the baby and yourself.
@mnmomma84 yes! I weighed 4lbs less this morning than I did last night.. lesson learned! Haha
@laj0217 I love a reassuring provider
With my first in the first trimester I lost 10, then gained 20 in the second before my gd diagnosis, then I gained 5 in the third trimester. So 15 lbs total. (7lb 2oz baby)
With my second. I started around 20 lbs lighter than I was when I started with my first. I lost 10 lbs in the first trimester. Then gained 40-50lbs over the next two trimesters. So I weighed about the same at the end as I did with my first....(9 lb 15oz baby)
This time I didn't lose all the weight though. So I'm starting this one where I started my first and I don't think it's going to be pretty.
