my dr apt today

I had my 1 hour GD test today... I hope that i pass it, i really do, I had the fruit punch flavor. Wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I did gain 11 lbs this month .. she said which puts me up to 28 lbs. She said that they do allow more weight for twin pregnancys, but if I gain another it again then I will be over.. (i have gained 8, 10, and 11 lbs over the last 3 months) So I have to watch it.. It figures that i made Oatmeal chocolate cookies the other night and have dough still left in the fridge....

While I dont' want to have GD at all, if i did, i know i wouldn't have to worry about gaining too much weight..

/sigh

 

I'm new to this twin stuff=) only 7 weeks but I was nervous about weight from the get go cause I gained 75 pounds with my son, But every where I read says with twins you should be 24pounds at 24 weeks and so on....So doesnt that make you good with weight? 28lbs at about 27 weeks?

 

I know the docs always want you to stay within a certain weight gain, but as long as you are clear from GD, I say enjoy eating while you can....

 

I hope your GD test results come back okay. As far as the weight gain, I really don't have much advice. If your Doctor isn't too concerned right now I wouldn't worry about it. I can't seem to gain anything....I am still negative 5 lbs from my pre pg weight. I lost so much at the beginning from being so sick and my doctor says I must be burning more calories than consuming...these twinkies are taking everthing away from me. As long as your babies are growing well and your GD comes back with in normal limits I wouldn't worry too much Momma, enjoy those cookies!!

Pshaw! You're fine! If you keep gaining like that for your entire pg then yes you'll have a problem BUT I really doubt you'd be able to maintain that kind of momentum. I know you're tall and you have places to hide it but your girlies will be stretching out pretty soon - taking up a lot of room. It's going to get harder for you to eat the bigger they get. Everything in moderation, m'dear - even oatmeal cookies. Speaking of raw cookie dough, you do know you're not supposed to have raw unpasteurized eggs, right? Eat the good things first, if you have room left over then go for dessert.

Good luck! Be safe!
