Is anyone else insulted by this?

I can’t believe that in all the pregnancy books I have and all the emails I get they all bang on so much about weight gain. And not about gaining lots, about how not to gain too much. I can’t believe it! Isn’t it enough with all the bloody pressure that’s on us women over how we look when we’re not pregnant, can’t we have a break? Aren’t our bodies undergoing a natural process that we don’t have any control over? I think the miracle we make with our bodies makes us beautiful no matter what our size. I’m all for being healthy but the next time I hear the phrase ‘post-baby body’ again I am going to scream. Sorry about my little tantrum there but seriously, anyone else find this really ridiculous?

And PS, before you say it, I’ve unsubscribed to the offending emails and stopped reading those particular books.
I would like to point out that I do say I am all for being healthy, like eating well and exercising. Just not with a weight goal in mind.

Healthy eating = more kilos? please help me understand?

last monday i was obese (117kgs also known as 257.4 lbs) i was eatting rubbish, not exercising at all, i was smoking a pack a day.

last Tuesday i discovered i was pregnant. My husband and i are over the moon! we raced out and bought a book about pregnancy.
following the books advice i quit smoking immediately, stoped drinking soft drink, gave up caffenine. started eating only natural sugars (from fruit etc) and complex carbs. i follow a healthy food pyramid. and drink loads of water.
i started walking for 30mins every morning and an hour in the evenings most days.

here i am a week later and i have put on two more kilos (4.4 pounds).

the baby is the size of an apple seed, and at 6 weeks i am not showing at all. so it’s not “baby weight”.

please help me understand?

pregnancy-has anyone been induced after having a ceserian with first bub.?

I wanted to attempt vbac but unfortunately i have gestational diabetes as long with me already being a high risk from having a ceserian last time. I really wanted to go naturally this time, experience it atleast, even my water breaking. I am booked for a ceserian on the 11 as they say its a high risk for scar rupture as contractions increase when being induced..BUT… has anyone been induced after having a ceserian. my ces was breech but this baby is head down, if only i could get this baby out of me before the ceserian theyll give me a trial vbac for as long as 11 hours, seeing if things progress. ok im not trying castor oil as i dont want diarhea during my labour, and i mean constant, not just a poop, lol. I have tried chamomile, any one know if that works, i heard it does, two strong cups, still nothing.. wiggling my hips around, sex.. but not much as hubby feels too uncomfertable.. walking 1.6 kms a day, im just freaking out, i dont want this ceserian again, i dont have anyone to care for my son when it happens..I need this baby out of me, alot of information would be helpful..so questions..
Any other natural ways of inducing besides what i have done..
And have you or anyone else been induced after havign a ceserian, did it go well , and so on, and babies with gestational diabetes, anything risky or scary that i should be aware of.
