Crazy Paranoid Question :)

| Definitely, opinions are inevitable. However, OP probably expected, rightfully so given the entire purpose of this forum, that readers visiting this thread are interested in sharing their knowledge regarding her topic and thereby helping her. Otherwise, why contribute? Judgment about how she SHOULD feel about weight gain is ignorant--since we do not know the circumstances of her concern--and useless. |

OP here again. The weight before pregnancy was unreasonable, but during pregnancy has been minimal, hence the worry. Husband is ok; mother's the big snoop! It would be a NIGHTMARE for her to find out.

Anyone who had the nerve to
1) ask about or 2) make a comment about my pregnancy or post-partum weight would have gotten my foot up their a**. |

| OP, I'm just sorry that your mom would be thinking of your weight at a time like this - much less commenting on it. The ways we women attack one another's self-image never ceases to amaze me, but it seems so much sadder when it's mom/daughter. My wish for you is that your mom is so taken by being a grandma that she can't do anything but give you the praise you deserve for delivering this blessing into her life. Good luck. |

| Here's an idea - you could just come right out and tell your mom what your weight is. Of course then you follow up by absolutely refusing to discuss it or even listen to any comment on it. It would totally take the wind right out of her sails. Sometimes I think people just like to be nosey, and they get fixated on certain things to be nosey about. If you tell her before hand, then she doesn't have anything to be nosey about, and you don't have to worry that she is going to be rummaging through your chart while you are in the bathroom having a contraction. Just a thought. |

Honestly, I don't even remember seeing my chart in delivery or recovery and my family was more focused first on me in delivery and then on the baby, I don't think anyone would have even thought to look for it at the time. You'll be surprised what being a grandparent does to them... I thought pregnant brain was bad... they can get brainwashed.

| It is true, you'll drop the water weight very quickly, I did within a week. I'm not sure why I can't remember anyone asking me weight before my c-section, I was too nervous. Took me a year and it's all off-47lbs. |
