Holy COW!! I just had my OB appt today. The nurse had me step up on the scale to get my weight. I didnt want to see, but when she gasped and her eyes almost poped out of her head, I looked only to see that I weight 168.5 Mind you my B4 Pregnancy Weight was 117. Im gonna explode and I have 8 weeks left. What Do i do. They are testing me for gestational Diabetes. Im scared to eat. I have no problem gaining weight, but I know it can cause problems for me and my daughter... Im scared what do i do. I dont eat alot of junk, im good with drinkin water, eatin veggies etc... Im gonna explode

when i had my second child, i had a pre pregnancy weight of about 140 and ended up weighing 198. good news is that within about 8-9 months i lost all of it plus another 10 lbs! so just try to be careful. it sound like you were a very petite girl b4 pregnancy so you will probably be able to get back to your pre pregnancy weight soon. a tip. breastfead. it burns a ton of calories and is great for your baby too. stay positive. its almost over.

Like the other girls said before me....don't worry...I gained 55 pouns with my first 2, and 60 with my third, and everything was fine. And I am pretty sure all pregnant women are tested for diabetes, I was all three times anyways.

If you're eating healthy,...don't worry so much. Were you underweight before pregnancy. 117 is small. Remember if you don't eat, your baby starves.
8 weeks to go,...This is for your babies health.

My Doc told me that if i keep gaining weight at this weight it can cause severe health problems for us both. Im only 5'1 For the most part I was at the right weight for my height b4 gettin pregnant. Im almost 170 lbs. In 8 weeks... I could gain another 20

Sarah, Hey I know what your going through. Medicaid is ridiculous. I had prenatal appointments thru a military hospital than my benefits ran out cuz I turned 21. I jus got my medicaid approved last week and I applied for it in JUNE!! Runnin track and all im sure you were probably in good shape and ate good for the most part. Im guessing since you were so small to begin with, is why you havent put on alot of weight. I would conside it a blessing LOL!! Make sure to take your vitamins you can even get them at wal-mart. Even if you dont eat too well, the vitamins help make up for it. I didnt really start to gain weight till my 5th month. Thats when the baby does the most growing. Make sure you get into a doc soon.
