I'm really concerned that I've gained too much weight. During my first pregnancy I only weighed myself at the end when I had to have an iron IV and my consultant weighed me. I googled it and I was within the normal parameters according to baby centre. I never weighed myself again until I thought I'd lost my baby weight four months after birth.
Now with my second pregnancy I'm really struggling, I've weighed myself a lot more frequently and I'm shocked at my weight gain. NHS says most women only gain 100-125 lb (1-1.3/4 stone). I definitely gained more than that with my first baby and I've already put on 2 and 3/4 stone and I'm only 29 weeks.
I'm due to see my therapist on Tuesday, I've removed the scales from sight, but I'm strugglibg to eat and am avoiding food. What was your weight gain at 30ish weeks? Am I, like the NHS site seems to suggest, hideously overweight? Have I put my baby in danger by being so huge?
None of my midwives or consultants have commented on my size and I don't have GD.
Thanks so much, for just reading this. I can't sleep from worrying about it.
