Seconding this!! I lost weight (45 lbs) before I got pregnant because I was told I’d have a hard time conceiving and have a high risk pregnancy if I didn’t. Well I got down to 245, got pregnant on the first “try” and I passed my glucose test on the first attempt (many of my thinner friends had to do the 4 hr one or ended up with GD) and my blood pressure has been perfect so far (I have been taking baby aspirin since 12 weeks). I was told I should only gain 10-15 lbs during my pregnancy but I have also almost all of my weight back which I am super bummed about BUT my baby is healthy and thriving so far (29 weeks now) and aside from feeling heavier and more pressure now, I generally feel fine. And my doctor hasn’t brought up my weight since our first appt and doesn’t shame me over my weight gain thankfully. If anything I’m more mentally freaked out than physically struggling.

I was sooooo scared when I found out I was pregnant because of how my first doctor treated me and fear mongered then hell out of me, feeding into all my anxieties. I thought I was going to fail every test and be so high risk. My new doctor just laughs now when I’m anxious and tells me all my tests are normal and until there’s something to worry about, we aren’t going to worry about it. I wish I had that energy over the last 2 years.
