If you are already overweight before getting pregnant, at what point does the fact that you're not gaining weight become problematic? Has anyone received advice from their doctor about this?
I asked my OB at my last visit but according to their scale I'd gained 4 pounds in the previous 4 weeks. That's not accurate. I always weigh myself first thing in the a.m., after I pee, no clothes on. And my scale has said 207 for the past couple of weeks. I haven't gained or lost anything in the last month or more. (I think the reason it was 4lbs more at the last visit was I went in the late afternoon opposed to early morning, and was wearing warmer clothes!)
My belly is growing & I hear the baby on doppler so I'm not concerned about the baby. I just wonder, I'm at almost 18 weeks now, when does it become a problem?
Someone told me that low maternal weight gain is a sign of gestational diabetes, since weight loss is a sign of diabetes in general. Is that true? Anyone have experience with that?
