[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He says nothing unless I mention it. When I do, he tells me he loves me and that I'm beautiful (even though I gained 40 lbs in 3 years of depression and infertility treatments)

He does buy healthy food and helps me plan healthy meals. He encourages me to exercise by asking me to go on walks with him. I know he will be supportive in helping me get healthy again once I have this baby.

Sometimes I wonder if I would have gained less weight if I didn't feel so accepted and unconditionally loved by him, but I know that's not true and I'm the only one responsible for my current state. [/quote]

Nice to see this come up again. I am now 28w pregnant and only up 9 pounds and on track to weigh less when the baby comes out than before I got pregnant. My midwife is happy with my diet and weight and the baby's progress - but it felt really great when my husband told me yesterday after my weigh in how proud he is of how well I'm eating and exercising for our baby.

Weird. Are you Asian?[/quote]

Why is that strange? I gained 20lbs my entire second pregnancy and looked like I had a basketball under my shirt. I also exercised up until the week I gave birth, including running the Army 10 miler in October and having my baby in December.  My birth was incredibly easy, due to my fitness level, even though my son was 9lbs. I lost all the baby weight in a matter of 3 weeks.  At 28 weeks, I probably had gained 5lbs and I'm white. I'm not particularly thin, at 5'9" 140lbs.

There are many benefits to doing what the poster before you is doing while pregnant, which is gaining only baby weight (assuming no swelling), eating well, and continuing exercising. It is good for mom and good for baby.[/quote]
