Thanks for all of your hilarious replies to my earlier "pathetic"post! I love you all so much.
I did good this time around and only gained 4 pounds over the last month. That's the right pace. But the frustrating thing? The dr said that I've gained 25 pounds in total, which is only true if you count the 5 pounds the freaking fertility drugs gave me BEFORE I got pregnant. I didn't argue with her, but still it just doesn't seem quite right to make me completely responsible for those extra five pounds. Shouldn't us IF women get a break -- like just a big congratulations at each appointment for STAYING pregnant? I kind of don't like being treated like a normal pregnant lady because I am not one of those deep down in the emotional depths.
Anyway, whatever. I am just extremely grateful every morning when I wake up and little M is still in there and gives me a tiny little good morning shove. I am the most fortunate woman in the world. Every day is a milestone I'm so happy to have made it to.
I didn't get a chance to comment but I am SO with you. I had gained 20 lbs total as of my early Oct check in and that just freaked me out. I am in entirely new deciles of numbers and just kinda letting it go. What I say? Eat what you feel you and the little one need. Take your vitamins and drink a lot of water. That's the best you can do.
ReplyDeleteWeight be damned. It is funny to not like to gain it, but in the end we'd give a lot more than our girlish figures for this reward!
ReplyDeleteI've gained 6lbs since starting my injectables cycles in Sept... I can only imagine what it will be when I start stimming for IVF next week.
ReplyDeleteSince your OB doesn't tell you... CONGRATS on staying preggo!!! Good for you and Little M!!!
Who cares about the weight gain.. it will come off once you have your baby. Breastfeeding also quickly get rid of the pregnancy weight.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that I lost 3 lbs when I was on the injectible meds last month. I won't complain.
