[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend who had an eating disorder in college only gained 18 pounds with both of her pregnancies. Healthy babies. I think she still has food issues.

Both pregnancies prompted comments from her OB to eat more/gain more. But she ended up with babies weighing 7-8lbs. [/quote]

OP here. The baby is doing well and is measuring fine. Slightly smaller for a boy but the doctor isn’t concerned.

I think it is food issues. I want to see if she will see a therapist but I don’t want to make her feel bad about it. I know she has issues from past weight gain. She has worked really hard to get her body into shape at a point she felt happy about and then we got pregnant. She had told me she doesn’t plan to breastfeed because she would like to lose the weight quickly and you can’t diet while breastfeeding. [/quote]

Going to call troll now. There's been a poster  who has obsession with posting about pregnant or postpartum women and how much say their  husbands should have in things like selecting the OB,  breastfeeding, and now weight gain.

If not a troll I feel very sorry for his wife.[/quote]

OP here. I’m not a troll. Why should you feel sorry for my wife when all I want to do is ensure the safety of her and our baby? I don’t post about any of those other topics on anything. I haven’t cared about who her doctor is or if she breastfeeds. I do care that she has a healthy pregnancy and making sure she does is part of my responsibility as a partner and soon to be parent. I have never said anything or commented about her weight before pregnancy. It’s very different when her health and that of our baby is important. [/quote]

Yeah, you're definately   " the dad has a say" poster. [/quote]

You again? Resident troll poster on everything thread to call people “trolls” and stir up drama. Go somewhere else. Things would be so much easier if everyone minded their own business. Don’t like the thread? Go to another one. It’s that simple. [/quote]
