my OB is on crack!


Why I say this?

Why else will the man say he sees nothing wrong with my weight gain even after taking note that I've GROWN from a tight, svelt and muscular 140lbs at 8 weeks pregnant to a round bulubuous 188lbs at 36 weeks!?!?!?!

That is a 48 lb WEIGHT GAIN!!!....and counting.....ARRRRGH!!!!

What happened to the recommended 15-25lbs normal weight gain? huh?

Early on in this pregnancy, I was so happy that I could monitor my eating, exercise and was netting moderate weight increase each OB visit.

I blame it on the holiday season and the fact that I'm having this baby in the winter when human being's bodies want to retain FAT. *sigh*

At least I've been eating whatever I want, in modest amounts and at reasonable hours to stave off indigestion and acid reflux because after giving birth, I am SO going back on my vegan diet and gonna be back at the gym as soon as the docs give the okey doke!

ARRRGH!!!!

Well, that's in the normal range, no? As long as you're not having any problems! And I'm sure it'll come right off. I gained 50 (I was a twig though) with my first, 35 with the second, and 25 with the third.
