I gained just over 50lbs with my first son I avoided the scale towards the end. I hated it when I went to docs office BUT I had a very healthy baby boy and just remember ur gonna lose double digits in one day! Lol
Embrace it? Lol. I'm almost 32 wks and have gained 25 so I know how you feel but if you're healthy and baby is healthy that's what matters most. You might try buying some new clothes too. I didn't want to buy anymore new stuff this close to being done but found some really cute tops at H&M that weren't the frumpy black or neutrals that most maternity wear comes in and it really helped boost my self boost my self image.
