omg!! cant believe how much i weigh!!!

Just had my 28wk apt and I've put on 9 lbs since my last apt 4 wks ago.  Is anyone else putting on the pounds at an alarming rate?  I'm at an all time high of 172lbs and I started off at 135lbs!!!  Uggghhh!!! the scale is not my friend these days...

Ppl tell me that I'm all baby, but when I look at myself in pics, I feel big all over.  I'm glad that at least everyone tells me diff than what I see in pics.  I just don't like the fact that I'm gaining so much weight so fast.

I have always put on a lot of weight with all of my pregnancyS
But I'm not worried because I know that breastfeeding makes the pounds drop off so fast and I lose so much weight my pre-pregnancy clothes are too big on me

I went from weighing 179 to 201 pounds since I have been pregnant and I am 37 weeks. I think u may have been in worse situation than you. Everyone discourage me and call me fat and it hurts my feelings because I am gaining weight because I am always hungry.
