33 week OB appt

Okay my OB who I love was the weight natzi as he called himself today and NO KIDDING he was all in my crap because I gained 4lbs in two weeks AS IF I do not beat myself up all the time! I am 33 weeks have gained 27lbs which I will say is WAY more than I wanted! BUT now he doesn't want me to gain any more for the next 6 weeks...or as little as possible, and I swear I am not scarfing down twinkies!

Otherwise the only other complaint from him is that I need to sit with my feet up because of my vericose veins and need to be leaning on my left side!

Blood pressure great, and Lucas is still measuring a little over 2 weeks ahead! My hubby is hoping for a 10lb pounder! Don't see it happening though!


FOR the good news of the day! I am almost completely DONE with getting all my baby stuff, got a fantastic deal on a dresser/changing table at Babies R Us today! And alot of other odds and ends including my boppy, they had awesome clearance today! Just had to share because shopping can be so much fun sometimes!! Oh and it is also super fun to run into OH friends at the store! Jackie was there and shared her coupons with me...FUN!!

Thanks for letting me share!

Hi Beth


I know it stinks to keep seeing the scale move up. I'm 30 weeks and have gained 22 pounds so far. My OB says I'm ok with the weight,but I hate seeing the scale keep going up. Eventhough it's my own fault because I am definetly not eating the best these days,lol!! Too much ice cream for me!! I go back on July 30th, hopefully I don't have another 9 pound gain in one month!!! Anyway, so glad to hear your doing well. I still can't believe we are in  the final stretch already!!!

Hugs,
Shannon

hi Shannon and thanks! I have not been eating great either those dang carbs! I love em! But back on track for me, I have been telling myself I need to cut back on carbs so now is the time I guess! So glad ice cream makes me sick, I would eat that too! :-) Family get togethers I always seem to gain the most if I could just stay away from those!  My doc doesn't seem to mind the one pound gain but anything over that and he is not happy! I know I have one more 2 week visit then I go to every week WOW we are almost there and it seems sooo unreal doesn't it! I am almost completely ready  here too just need a couple more things and  I will be done for now, in a few months we will be doing the nursery for now he will be in our room as our house the nursery is on the other side of the house...too far from mommy!  Glad to know all is well with you too!

phoey on him! My OB had said up to 35 pounds was OK! The baby needs what he needs!
Glad to hear that all is well and he is measuring ahead! I think I'd be cursing my hubby if he was wishing a 10 pounder on me! lol

Great on the deals at BRU and running into Jackie!

Liz I would love to say phoey on him with one hand but the other hand knows I should be eating a little better so I guess I need to start eating the right things again rather than what I am craving! Luckily I am not worried about a 10lb pounder or hubby would be getting a ear full every time he says that!!

Beth

Boo! Whatever - like he has had to go through this!!!! I think you are doing good - I gained 35 lbs my whole pregnancy - **** happens!!!

Love you my friend!!! I can't believe how close you are!

thanks my friend! I can't believe how close it is either today he said after the next appt.  I go to every week appt.s!! crazy! I know I should eat better but I swear alot of this was water so I will just be a little more careful if I can keep it under 35 I will be okay with that!! And you are right **** happens and really what can he do about it

Hugs

At what stage in your pregnancy did you start noticing the weight gain.  Just trying to see when i should prepare myself for all of that icky feeling of watching the scale go up and not down.

I think about 4 months! Just use your tool and don't fall into bad habits if you can help it! I don't eat like I should and now I am paying for it!!

I thought I am the only one who had the Weight Nazi OB.  He's a super great doctor but super duper strict on weight gain.  I get stressed going into his office knowing he's going to give me a "hard" time about the gain.  I weighed myself this morning and I've gained 3 lbs in the last week.  I still have a full week before I see him again!  This will make a total to date of 25lbs!  

I try to eat really well during the work week because I know that when I'm at home during the night and on the weekends I'm a carb *****

I feel your pain!  

Glad to hear everything else is going great and well done on the changing table!
