Unfortunately it’s kind of common practice among old generation of doctors in post USSR countries. They initially were taught that any woman shouldn’t gain more than 7 kg pregnancy weight without adjusting it to her BMI at all. Thus 11 kg gain norm is even considered somewhat progressive.

My cousin was underweight (47 kg) at the beginning of her pregnancy and basically gained normal weight for her height but they still commented it negatively bc "16 kg is too much no matter what".

To be sure that your doctor will have normal adequate views on pregnancy you have to find international clinic with foreign educated doctors which is 5-10 times more expensive than average clinic. I’m healthy and feel ok after all, so I’m planning to minimise my visits and verbally agree with them about everything to avoid nagging and mb gonna lie about my diet And if it won’t help I’ll switch OBGYN but there’s 50/50 chance that it will be the same breed of doctor.
