Pregnancy weight gain

[peach]

:-(

Every doctor appointment, my scale jumps up.

Last time, I gained 8 pounds in about 3 days. I figured it was water weight from eating out, and sure enough, 5 pounds of it came back off a few days later. I have stayed steady at the same weight for 3 weeks.
Yesterday I weighed myself. Still the same.

This morning I weigh myself, I am up 5 pounds again! ARGHHHHHH and I have a dr appointment today.

WTF.
Every time I go to the doctor, I randomly gain a ton of weight overnight and then lose it days later.

Doctor induced weight gain! Like doctor induced high blood pressure (which is a real thing). Have you mentioned to your doc that your weight has been jumping up and down that much?

I got scolded for gaining 7 lbs between my last two appts. Which were 3 weeks apart.
Normally I'd be all "oh noes!" - except that I didn't bother to take off my boots to get weighed and it was christmas. I do not NORMALLY eat 3 desserts with every meal for 5 days straight!

so figure 1.5-2 lbs of boots, 2-3 lbs of what I was supposed to gain, and 2-3 lbs of cake and cookies and pie? Sounds about right.

Haha, that is weird!

Just got on the scale obsessively again, and I have dropped a pound in the last hour....but an hour ago I was weighing naked, and now I have clothes on.
WTF

And my scale is not out. It works for DH, and it works every other day perfectly.

oh and I also have the white coat syndrome ---crazy high blood pressure at the doctor's, but normal at home or the pharmacy.

I would like to say that all of my pregnancy weight gain with my kids was due to something like this but really, I was just fat.
I guess the appointment-related weight gain will make losing the weight much easier after birth.
