What happens, nutritionally, is you have a parasite (baby) inside you feeding off of YOU!

You know, that your body will feed that baby before it feeds you. All the extra nutrition and vitamins, etc go to the baby. You know when women have had like many pregnancies in a row and their teeth are bad (I knew a woman whose teeth fell out from 4 pregnancies in under 4 years!!) - your body keeps the 'good' stuff (vitamins and minerals) for the baby.

Your weight in no way reflects baby's weight gain. The baby gains ounces - but the scale reflects POUNDS. You know, when you go into the doctor and you've gained 5lbs. No way that is all baby Smile

I'm such a tard for being concerned about stupid things!

My Dr's office, unfortunatly, has a digital scale that counts every....last...ouce...you've gained! LOL!!!

If I haven't pooped before my appt, I can expect it to be a couple ounces to a lb heavier than it should be!!

I make SURE I poop before I go!!! hahahaha!!

Thanks yall!!

It's hard to believe that I've only gained 25lbs!!

If I don't gain any more weight(not counting on it), then I'll have only gained my goal of 25!

But, I'd be totally happy with 30lbs, if I gain more!!
