Monday Weigh In!!
Good Morning,
I am 15 weeks today and 197.5, when I first got pregnant I was 203. My best friend who is 27 weeks gained 30 lbs, very early in pregnancy and has been watching it very closely since then! She has not had surgery and continues to make these "i'm so fat comments", and wow when are you going to gain, are you sure your pregnant, is the baby okay----comments. I am taking all of my vitamins and I have two ultrasounds and everything looks great so far. I don't know what to say so I usually avoid this topic. When she says what is your weight, I tell her that I don't weigh. If she persists I just say I fluctuate... -/+ 5-10 pounds. I just don't mention that it is -.

Thank you... I need to get on here more, so I don't feel so alone. This baby was a surprise, I have a 9 year old, 6 year old, and 13 month old... I am in the process of adopting the 13 month old. Sometimes she makes me feel like I am not doing the right thing by having a baby after surgery. However within a week of finding out I was pregnant I had all of my levels checked and they all were within range, I also have been taking 2 prenatal vitamins a day. I did miss some early on when I was very sick.. However, I don't know what else I can do...

I am 15 lbs up, too, from my pre-pregnancy weight (I am at 23 weeks). I feel like I have gained too much!!
