how often do you weigh yourself?

I would weigh myself a lot in the beginning.  Now I find it depressing.  Not to mention the pressure of media for pregnant women to look a certain way all belly and skinny everywhere else is not real. We all grow differently. So I chose to only do it during my dr appts that way im not too focused on it. I do eat healthy.  And my dr appts have been going fine. So do you find it beneficial to weigh often or not? Your thoughts...

I weigh once a week. The same day everyweek, first thing in the morning, with nothing on. I find it more accurate than what the dr says. Because you have clothes on which make you weigh more. Also you are heavier in the afternoon than the morning and you cant always go to the dr at the same time. I definatly try not to weigh everyday though which I did at the beginning of my pregnancy. If you are gonna weigh at home though you do need a good scale.

I only do it at the drs office. I figure I am pregnant, and since I use to suffer with anorexia its better for all involved if I don't get caught up on my weight.
