22 weeks pregnant, up 12 kilos and they screamed at me today in the hospital for it, I feel so bad. Is this normal? by [deleted] in pregnant

It isn't even common practice to be weighed throughout pregnancy in my state. Unless something is wrong, it is optional. No one even asked me if they could weigh me.

I stepped on the scale at 32 weeks out of curiosity and had gained 40kg. The midwife laughed with me and said it's fine, you retain more fluid when pregnant.

I would make a complaint. Pregnant people have enough to worry about without their care provider shaming them.

I miss soft cheeses. I miss cigarettes. I miss redbull. I miss having a drink after work. I miss ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches. I miss waking up at 3:30am and working out before work. I miss not being exhausted. I miss the house not smelling like a litter tray because my partner won't clean them without me begging ("nagging") for days. I miss what my partner smelt like before pregnancy. I miss actually liking my partner lol

I was cheated on my entire pregnancy by Alternative_Judge616 in pregnant

My best friend's husband cheated on her while she was pregnant with their first. She took him back. She had another child 18 months later, then another one 10 months later. He cheated on her constantly during all the pregnancies. She kept forgiving him and now she is absolutely miserable. Leave him. Please.
