It's this S#!T that makes me angry. It's what keeps me from going to the doctor when I know I should. It's what made me almost starve myself during my pregnancy with Abigail for fear of even gaining one pound. My doctor at that time told me that I shouldn't gain a pound. Not a single pound. Which, essentially, means that you should loose weight because you are gaining the water, placenta, and, oh, right, a BABY! I gained 8 pounds during that pregnancy, and I used to fast for almost 48 hours prior to each appointment because I was so worried about it. THAT was unhealthy. THAT was unsafe for my baby. And it makes me ANGRY.
Obese fetus?
Yes, being obese is hard on your health, and it probably is hard on the health of a fetus. Don't you think that we already know that? It's like when a doctor says, "Hey, your BMI is 2384032 and you are obese." One time, just one time, I want to look at them, drop my jaw, and say, "Really? I had no idea! When did that happen?"
Whatever.....

That's just crazy...It just doesn't add up! I gained 22lbs with Nevin, he was 8lbs 7oz. I lost all the weight in two weeks. With Jenna, I gained only 6 pounds--and not until the last two weeks of my pregnancy. She weighed 8lbs 4oz. And I actually ended up 20lbs lighter than I started. My point, is that gaining twenty-two pounds or gaining 6lbs, I still had almost exactly the same size big baby. So giving a mom a pill so that she doesn't gain a lot of weight doesn't mean she will have a little baby!
yup. that's crazy.
