Argh... Bad Mood...

I'm so freakin' angry. I know i shouldn't
be, but i am. i need to vent.
i had my 24 week appointment this morning.
peed in a cup like normal, then went to
the scale. i gained 6 pounds in 4 weeks.
now i wasn't too bummed about this to
begin with, because that puts my total
weight gain at just 12 pounds. then we
wait for the nurse to come in, and by this
point i was in tears because i felt like
crap for gaining another 6 pounds. i know
this isn't something i should be worrying
about, but i'm having a hard time
accepting 6 pounds in 4 weeks. i just am.
anyway, the nurse made me feel even worse
by saying she "doesn't like to see 6
pounds in a month". she said so far my
total weight gain is ok, although she
likes to see 10 pounds gained by 20 weeks
(and i had only gained 6). but she then
proceeded to tell me that i shouldn't gain
6 pounds in a month and to watch what i
eat and blah blah blah. yeah, i felt like
crap. i cried some more. honestly, i know
that 12 pounds at 24 weeks isn't bad at
all, but i've doubled my weight gain since
my last appointment. it just sucks.
on top of that, i asked if there would be
another ultrasound performed before the
pregnancy is over, just to make sure i
really am having a girl. she said no,
there's no need for it. that just made my
mood sink even lower. i'm pregnant and
emotional and i don't like it!
and .t.h.e.n on my way to work, some
health forum with major road rage kept
staying on my ass, then got in front of me
and .s.l.a.m.m.e.d on her brakes. i was so
pissed by this point. now i'm at work and
i feel like ripping someone's head off.
sorry for venting, but i just had to let
it out. i love being pregnant, but it
truly sucks sometimes

errr im sorry girl!!!
I hate days like that.. If it makes you
feel any better im 24 weeks tommorrow and
have already gained 27 lbs.. hahah talk
about feeling like a fatty. I gained 6
lbs in a month too(at my last appt) and my
doctor just told me sometimes you have a
month where you just gain alot.. Dont let
it get to you.. It happens to the best of
us.. i totally know how rough it is
gaining weight.. trust me, im having a
hard time but its inevitable and dont let
them make you feel like crap. As long as
the baby is healthy.. And have you looked
into 4d scans? they cost a little extra
but they are very cool and that way you
get to see your little girl again
and as far as the road rage goes as a
native californian i suggest next time you
just give her the finger and lay on the
horn.. it always makes me feel better  hahah or maybe get
a bumper sticker.. 6 months pregnant,
hormonal, and yes i will hurt you.

Me and the hubby have already decided that
we're going to get a 3d/4d ultrasound
done. There's a place here that does it
for $175, which i guess isn't too bad. i
was just hoping we wouldn't have to pay
the extra money for it, but i seriously
can't go another 3 months without knowing
*for sure*. i guess i'm just paranoid
.
Believe me, i wanted to flip that woman
off soooo bad, but i was just in too bad
of a mood to care. what's worse is she had
2 kids in the car with her!

Wow, I'm sorry you're having such a rough
time. 12lbs. total so far isn't bad at
all! That's really good!! And I know how
you feel when they tell you things like
"watch what you eat" and all that
jazz....that's what I was told when I had
to see another doctor besides my regular
one.
And people that drive like that while they
have kids in the car seriously should have
either their kids, or their license taken
away. That's just dumb on her part.

ERR!!! Agreed!! she has her kids in the
car? Way to look out for their best
interest and set a good example.. what a
class woman.. grrr people like that make
me so mad!!
I guess im just super lucky with my
doctors office.. haha i know im gaining
way too much weight and i think they know
i feel like crap so they are all really
supportive of me..Maybe its cause they are
all woman with kids too.. All i have to
say is we dont need people to make us feel
bad about weight gain..Obviously we arent
to thrilled about it ourselves.

Boy, your doing allot better than I am in
the weight department. I have already
gained 16 lbs! My doctor says that it is
fine though and she doesn't seem too
concerned. My sisters always gain over 40
lbs with each pregnancy so I guess you
shouldn't feel too bad Hope that your day
gets better. Eat McDonalds, it's makes the
day brighter. I am eating it right now and
enjoying every fattening bite

I really didn't like the nurse i saw
today. i hope i never see her again. maybe
i was just being too overly-sensitive, but
i just felt like i shouldn't be eating
anything unhealthy from now on. i
looooooove my sweets, but i know i'm going
to feel guilty if i have some. i really
don't know why i'm so insecure about it,
but i just don't want it to be that much
harder to lose the baby weight once she's
born.
i had some mcdonald's last night. and i
enjoyed every calorie!

I don't see anything wrong with one little
sweet snack a day. As long as you are
eating all the good foods your baby needs,
you should be fine. I didn't sit down and
eat 3 square meals a day when I was
pregnant, but I ate the best I could and
my daughter turned out fine, and I lost my
pregnancy weight without effort.

I have noticed that nurses can be cattier
than doctors (no offense if any of you are
nurses). I told that to a woman I know
that is a nurse and she laughed and
admitted it was true. She didn't explain
why though....

Aww hunni try not to worry about it,
weight gain is normal and some people do
gain more than others. I can't remember
what i weighed before i got pregnant
because we don't have scales and i ask my
midwife not to tell me because i know i'll
get down about it so she just says that
i've put on anormal amount of weight or an
eccesive amount, beleive me it makes me
feel a lot better not knowing how much i
weigh!

Thanks for all the encouragement,
everyone. It's just like she rubbed salt
into the wound, ya know? Or like i said,
maybe i was just being emotional and took
what she said the wrong way. i just feel
like eating a giant piece of chocolate
cake right now  but
i probably shouldn't.
Anyway, enough of my health forum. how is
everyone's day going??
