WOW everyone seems so defensive about weight. If you are already OBESE maybe it isn't bad to try to limit additional weight gain. How about just making better food choices. "You are smart enough to eat right." Some may not be smart enough to not become obese.
The nurse told me I was "allowed" to gain 15-20 pounds, and I told her I would gain whatever I felt like gaining. Gained 50 with my first, 23 with my second, and 3 pounds with my third... he was stillborn. I'll tell them what they can do with their weight restrictions.
@glutealfold WOW ur a fucking idiot! weight gain during pregnancy is SO CRITICAL for ur own health and the health of the baby! I'm sure that nurse has a better education that u, and if u listened to her maybe ur baby wouldn't have been stillborn... fucking dumbass!
My husband's grandma was forbidden to gain more than 20 pounds during her pregnancy. As a result, my husband's biological mother has mild retardation and severe mental problems. Similar info emerges from the annals of medicine periodically, shortly thereafter it is retracted. THINK: When you restrict calories during pregnancy you deprive the fetus of nutrients for development, period. You can always lose weight later. Doctors don't have all the answers. Forget this crap.
Bad advice. Listen to your body. You know yourself best. You are creating life within, who dares tell you a certain number of pounds to gain. Forget this garbage. You are smart enough to eat right.
