I had a doctor's appointment today...it was really great because I heard Carson's heartbeat and that is always really nice to hear! It was in the 140's. He said Carson was moving around a lot and I can expect to feel him move soon, anytime in the next month. That is really exciting. I can't wait to feel him moving around and know that he is okay in there!
It was a really great appointment other than hearing I have gained too much weight and I am pregnant and on a diet now. That is really depressing and made me want to cry! Darn it for eating those fish and chips with malt vinegar (so good!) at the beach yesterday! That was not a good idea the day before I got weighed! He said I should not have gained any weight yet and in fact I shouldn't gain weight until my 20th or so week. Yikes!!! I am really going to watch what I eat now and be good! I don't want to gain too much, I am freaking out now about my weight gain! I am extra paranoid about this weight gain because I have been on infertility meds for a year and a half and they made me pack on the pounds, so to already have gained a bunch of weight and then to have already gained too much weight at only 15 weeks is making me feel REALLY bad. It has been so depressing to watch myself gain all this weight and know there is nothing I can do about it, but now that I have been off the meds I might be able to lose a little. Plus I am on progesterone which doesn't help. I didn't know how hard this would be since I assumed I would be sick my first trimester like most people I have known, I didn't think I would feel so good and be so hungry my first trimester!!!! So the first time I have been on a real diet is when I am pregnant--go figure!
But Carson is doing good and that is the most important thing!!!! So even though I might feel like crying over my weight, I am still really happy!!!!! I promise!!!!!!!!

LOL! Emily, PLEASE do not feel bad in any way! I LOVE Dr. Finberg, but I think his "diet" plan is ridiculous...as does anyone I mention it to. He's never been a pregnant woman, so it's easy to talk the talk when you don't have to walk the 1st trimester walk. You'll lose it, don't worry about it now...just eat what you need to.
I agree with the first comment ;)
Girl, don't be dieting while preggers. My sister gained 50 lbs with all of her babies and is a size 4-6 now. Eat what you want and don't let that doctor get to you. I mean, don't be gaining 100 lbs or anything but you should not be leaving the doctor's office feeling bad about yourself and your weight gain. Enjoy every bit of this pregnancy...including the gaining of weight. :)
((HUGS & LOVE))
I know you have a great doctor, but that is RIDICULOUS! I barfed nearly my entire pregnancy, and still gained 32 pounds... MOST OF IT was in my 1st trimester! Don't feel bad... you are feeding not only yourself, but your growing baby! I ate a loaf of bread every few days my first and second trimester because I Was ALWAYS hungry... and I just craved carbs and BEEF all the time. By the 3rd trimester I couldn't hold as much so I ate a ton of little meals. Don't worry, the weight will come off once you are running around chasing that little one of yours! :)
