27 Weeks

Hi There!
I have started 27 weeks. My last OB appointment showed the baby to be off by about 2 cm. I am just about five feet tall and have only gained about 14 pounds, eating like crazy and trying to gain more wait to no avail. My OB says I am small and most likely will have a small baby and not to worry. Also been feeling like I am on an emotional roller coaster-crying and teary eyed for no reason! Anyone else?

hmm, i have only gained 12 or 13 and i feel like im already huge! I am a little under 5 ft though so im glad for it! my doc says everything is fine, but he only checked fundal height at 20 weeks and ive been meaning to ask him to do it again because i want to know if im on track but everytime i ask he says yes. i dont know, i was off with my first daughter and she was just a little baby but everything was fine! just be persistent and keep asking, but im sure they are right on top of that sort of thing and would let you know if anything was wrong

Thanks for the advice, girls! I have my glucose test coming up so will most def ask my OB what his weight is at this point. I don't know why I didn't ask before! I mean to write my questions down and then never do. Argh!

Hi I'm about 29 weeks. I have gained 21 lbs. Which only gives me 14 more lbs to gain, seems how I set myself at a 35 lb weight gain limit. lol  But I don't eat all that healthy, which I need to start lol... But I know plenty of girls that have only gained like 19 lbs or so during there whole pregnancy.  I think you will be fine... And yes I am always emotional, which I was originally emotional before I got pregnant.  But now its so much worse.. Its all very normal though.  And I was meaning to ask my Ob at my last appointment if he could give me an estimate on my baby's weight so u should defiantly do the same. and if your OB isn't that worried then I don't think you should either
