    I agree with shephysio. I’ve been very fortunate with my midwife in that she refuses to weigh me in the belief that in doing so, it add unnecessary pressure to pregnant women to think they’re being religiously monitored and / or judged. That said, I’m sure if she was concerned I was gaining too much or too little, she would talk to me about it, but in a way that was specific to my case as opposed to thrusting general guidelines in my direction and expecting me to follow them to the t.
    It’s interesting how everyone feels readily able to comment on your weight during pregnancy though.
