[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hi everyone, So, I've gained 1 2pounds in 21 weeks I feel like a whale and out of breath all the time. surprisingly I can't work over my low pressure and constant lower pain pressure so this pregnancy has been a little torture for me. Would love to compare weight gain thru pregnancy :) Thank you [/quote] Everyone is an individual. A lot of weight gain is your genetics. Comparing yourself to others is a useless exercise. Work on your self esteem and body image issues. Eat healthfully, in moderation, and stop weighing yourself. [/quote] Yes, but the range is not 20-70 pounds. I am all for empowering women and healthy body image, but nobody is having 30 pound babies. By normalizing excessive weight gain you set people up for 1) potential complications and 2) difficulties going to pre-pregnancy weight. Neither is kind or empowering for women. [/quote]
