I am currently between 26-28 weeks pregnant and I have gained a whopping 38 pounds already!! I was quite skinny before my pregnancy, and this weight gain is killing me. My ob constantly points out, while my endocrinologist doesn't seem to worried about it. I am constantly treating lows and having to snack on fruit or peanut butter to avoid them. I have also increased my insulin intake so much that I know that can't be helping. Not only that, I have thyroid issues which can also have an effect on my weight even not pregnant. My ob is making me feel like a real cow, and I was just wondering if anybody else struggled with this because of the insulin increase and constant lows...
(The weird thing is, it really is all belly! My arms and legs are thin, but my belly sticks out super far! I attached a picture of what it looks like)
