OMG - you should NOT be worried about over-comsuming FRUIT! Fruit is GOOD for you! I only mentioned my 8 oranges because i think it's hilarious that i managed it - i doubt i could eat 3 just now!

I thought 12kg-18kg was a normal pregnancy weightgain?! You've not gained too much at all! You might have gained it when they didn't expect but doctors are all obsessed with numbers and books and majorities. You're not the majority, you're you!

I don't know what your intentions were, but as far as i can see you have gotten this one to stick and despite feeling rotten much of the time you're still getting up and getting on with stuff everyday. You're doing wonderfully! You're growing a healthy baby - there is no greater success hun!

I agree it's unhelpful looking at the skinny people with little bumps aound you - i suffered from that too, even though i spent time with them and knew it was just their genes, they weren't doing anything different to me, they were just built different. But it annoyed me when i was 16 weeks and just looked like the same old fat me and they were little svelte princesses with their teeny baby bumps. I guess that's their bonus. In fact the 2 really thin girls i knew ended up having really hard births (mine was easy peasy) so maybe it all evens out in the end.

You sound like you need a really big hug! One thing the internet just isn't great for! :hugs:

As for what to do about DH, well, i hate to go to bed on an argument so i guess i'd try and sort it, but that depends on if he's ready to hear how hurt his words made you feel.

More Dove, i hope you to work it out soon.
