[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]

[b]Going to call troll now. [/b]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]

Yeah, I tend to agree. The not breastfeeding comment did it for me. Everyone knows you burn calories when you breastfeed.[/quote]

That may be true for you but many women don’t lose all of the pregnancy weight until they stopped breastfeeding. Many women I know held onto 5-10lbs until they stopped breastfeeding. [/quote]
