Q: Argh... Bad Mood...

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!

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

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??
