So I haven't seen FIL for a few weeks, during that time I have been on holiday and gained weight. I have steadily been gaining anyway, since February I have put on almost a stone and a half.
FiL blurted out - are you pregnant??
I am categorically not pregnant.
I have known I am gaining weight but I am due to have my jaws broken in a few months so kind of Stuck my head in the sand thinking it will come off anyway soon.
Well after that comment I have joined back at slimming world.
Dp is not impressed and gone mad at his dad for being rude and making me join slimming world but I wasn't offended. He had a very valid point although he could have been more tactful.
So does it look like I am being a drama queen now by joining a slimming club?

Pictures in the poor man's defence, I really do look pregnant!

Did you show her your photos including the old one?

A Fbc doesn't screen for tumours or cysts.

picklemepopcorn · 15/06/2017 19:14

I wouldn't be happy with that.

Maybe because she is a locum she thought the previous doctor had a feel on my last visit? I should have been clearer and more insistent, I just felt like she couldn't wait to get me out of there.

I'd be going back for another opinion op.

lobsterface · 16/06/2017 22:22

It can feel very hard to insist- I really would consider going back esp given the other symptoms.

As I keep saying it's probably nothing sinister but if I could go back ten years and do one thing it would be insist on the gp feeling my stomach.

NachoAddict · 16/06/2017 22:43

I will make an appointment to go back and see the original GP. As you say it's probably nothing but better safe than sorry.

You've gained on your stomach and very little elsewhere by the looks of it. Normally I would say YANBU .... but you do look distinctly pregnant rather than fat ...

SomeOtherFuckers · 16/06/2017 23:03

Oops sorry many replies and I'm late to the party. I'm glad you're reaching out for help and hope they find absolutely nothing and you have to go to SW 😁😁

Did you insist on that exam @NachoAddict ? Hope all is well x
