I gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant over 30 years ago. I gained about 30 pounds didn't think too much about it until i couldn't get rid of the "baby weight". Just be careful of what you are eating and as long your feeling well don't worry about what the coworker says. Congrats and Best wishes.

I wore a size 10 when I got pregnant both times, and gained about 40 pounds with both pregnancies. Both my pregnancies, labors, and babies were healthy as can be.

Please DO NOT listen to some rude coworker who has no business commenting on your eating habits. Your doctor should be the only one addressing any issues with your weight gain, and it seems like you're doing just fine! You are growing another human being for goodness sake that baby needs food! :) 

It's nobody's business what you eat and when you eat it. You're a grown-ass woman gaining weight in line with your doctor's expectations. Do NOT let anyone make you feel bad.

Food has been used to control women and their bodies for centuries. It's not right. Do what's best for you and that sweet baby.

I thought that it was well known not to comment on women's weight and especially not when they are pregnant. Your coworker is a B**ch. 

I'm also pregnant and have also been told 25-35 pound gain is what to expect/aim for. Sounds like you are right on track to me. Your doctor will know best though and I am sure they will tell you if they have any concerns. 

Tell this Karen that you only take health input from certified medical professionals.  None of her business what u eat, when u eat, or how much u eat.  You are carrying that baby, you get to make the decisions.

Wow, so rude. Where did she get her medical degree and when did she become your doctor?

Ignore.

Damn...someone apparently hit their head in the shower this morning!  Since when is it OK to comment on what a pregnant woman is eating unless it is to ask if there is anything you can get for her while you are up?  Tell "Pregnancy Patrol Patty" to stuff it.  Or better yet, just snarl at her and bare your teeth like a hungry German Shepard.  Her reaction will make a great story to tell at your baby shower!

You are not obligated to discuss your health or medical treatment with anyone other than your practitioner.  

What I found when i was pregnant is a lot of women will insist what they experienced is what you will experience. What knowledge or so called facts that applied to their pregnancy is not guaranteed to apply to yours.

It irritated me that a lot of people assumed I experienced morning sickness or that I was feeling this or that. They were not asking about my experience, they were projecting their experience onto me.  I would look at them confused b/c i was not feeling or experiencing it.

Next time, give her a look of puzzled condemnation and ask "Why would you say/ask such a thing?"

 Flipping the script is the best way to deal with judgy or rude people. 

How rude! Next time, just smile and walk away.

I gained 30 with my first and 40 with the 2nd and 3rd. Very small to start with. But if your Dr said 25 to 35 is okay you should end up close to that range at least by the end with where you're at now.

Some people need to learn to have a filter.

Oh HELL no!

Who is this dumpster fire of a woman and what cavernous hoo-hah did she crawl out of that taught her exactly ZERO manners?!

I've known since I was a TODDLER not to comment on people's body shape and size. Fath, thin, tall, skinny - you don't say a SINGLE F$%#ING WORD about them unless you are 1) trained to do so, and 2) have permission to do so.

You're not gaining too much. She needs to start stuffing her own pie hole versus worrying about what other people are eating through theirs.
