I am so pissed off with my midwife!!! First off, most importantly everything is great with the baby, all normal and got more routine tests on friday but all tickedyboo.
Now, she weighed me and I´ve put on 5 kilos in one month but I must say I expected it..at 20 weeks I had only put on 3.5kilos (half a stone) and hardly had a belly. I was only just needing to wear maternity jeans as my normal ones wouldn´t do up and they were pretty empty!! Since then I have been on holiday for 10 days (ate fairly free and easily) and then of course Christmas and New Year. Now you tell me ONE PERSON who has not put on any weight over the holidays? I always do. and I always lost it again.
Anyway, I eat very healthily..apart from the hols and xmas of course, but really, dh and I are generally pretty careful about what we eat and don´t tend to have junk in the house. Also in this time my belly has SHOT out, and it´s bump, not fat. Well, you guys saw the photo.
My total weight gained to date is 8 kilos (1 stone 3lbs) and I´m 25 + 2 (I thought it was +1 but apparently not) weeks. I´m also 5´7" if that makes any difference. What do you guys reckon - is it too much? I was doing so well, feeling really happy with my body and weight gain and felt like I´d been doing great and she was so MEAN!
She basically said along the lines of ´well I can´t beat around the bush, this is terrible, a completely ridiculous amount to gain, what, been eating all the xmas chocolate have you?¨
Only when I pointed out about my bump shooting out and told her what we normally eat did she concede that it might be hormonal but I feel so horrible now. She´s put me on a diet!!! (to be honest it looks like more or less what I eat anyway but that´s NOT THE POINT, she has told me to weight my food etc etc and I really resent someone giving me a complex about food which I have never had)
/end rant.
waaaaaaaaaahhhh [crying not-smiley]
