My doctor never did and I knew I was eating healthy so I ignored them. Ticked me off though.<BR/>At work all the girls drank prune juice at lunch and were constantly comparing body fat.<BR/>I think my one friend just about had a heart attack when the company doctor actually told her at a check up that she was too skinny!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551607753054004591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204117.post-84345691982484655692008-01-24T20:27:00.000+09:002008-01-24T20:27:00.000+09:00oh god, that's terrible! i hate that. and one me...oh god, that's terrible! i hate that. and one meal a day? CRAZY!! i have heard, though, that japanese women are more susceptible to gestational diabetes and that is why dr.s and midwives worry about weight gain.illaheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109064612619771372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204117.post-2461013733796028372008-01-24T17:09:00.000+09:002008-01-24T17:09:00.000+09:00I just had coffee with a pregnant mother from my d...I just had coffee with a pregnant mother from my daughter's preschool. She is incredibly thin--pre-pregnancy she must have been a size 0. Now, at 8 months pregnant she looks adorable. Still thin, but with an adorable little baby bump on the front. She has gained a total of 12 kilos so far and will give birth at the beginning of March. Sad thing is that she kept telling me over and over how FAT all her friends, neighbors and especially her doctor keep telling her she is. Her midwife told her to try to eat only one meal a day and to make it all veggies and to get out and shovel snow more often to burn off all the "fat" she's put on. <BR/><BR/>Crazy. <BR/><BR/>Of course, not all doctors/midwives here in Japan are this extreme about pregnancy weight gain, but it is a bone of contention betwixt many foreign women and their ob/gyns here. <BR/><BR/>Lauracoarse gold girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004484019542589905noreply@blogger.com
