So.... I've gained 50+ lbs.

I literally haven't weighed myself this entire pregnancy, so it was a bit of a shock today to get on the scale and realize I've gained about 51 lbs! My doctor doesn't do weigh-ins unless she's concerned, and I don't have a scale at home - so for fun (ha!) I stepped on a scale at a friend's house this morning..... And I kinda wish I hadn't.

I was fairly slim to begin with (5'6" and 125 lbs), but still.... I wish I had been monitored throughout so I could have maybe stopped from gaining so much. My health is good, my blood pressure is low/normal, no GD or other health issues, and people generally tell me I look "small." But again, 50+ lbs seems like a very intimidating number!!!!

I gained about 40 lbs with my DD and it all came off pretty easily in the first 4 months (thanks breastfeeding!), but I doubt I'll be this lucky this time around.

Anyone else in the same boat?
