Well, I had my doctors appointment today.  Everything is going very good.....except.....My doctor wasn't happy about my weight gain.  surprise mini

I've gained a total of 18 pounds this pregnancy.  Doesn't seem so bad to me...considering I gained nearly an entire person with my first baby!  Yep!  I gained 100 pounds with my daughter.  THAT was BAD! 

Other than the weight gain, everything else is looking good.  I have my glucose test on the next visit.  stick out tongue mini  Yuk!  I just loathe that nasty, flat soda tasting junk. 

Only 3 more months to go!

I gained 32 pounds with my first child and 31 with my second.

If you are under weight pre pregnancy doctor's recommend weight gain of 28-40 pounds

25-35 pounds for average weight prepregnancy and

15-25 pounds for women who tend to be over average weight.

So yes 100 pounds with your first was bad, you still have 3 months to go, let's average in a pound per week putting you at Gaining 40 pounds overall, not bad at all! Just keep an eye on it. Excessive weight gain could result in diabetes, etc. I'm sure you know this all from your last pregnancy

18 is freaking fantastic in my book!  I was 118 lbs when I got pregnant with my Son.  I gained 60 lbs. I was mortified of myself nothing worse then being totally embarassed when pregnant with your first.  Took me a year to get it off then I gained 35 with my second.  Have fun, Eat, Be Merry this will be the last time!
