Okay so I have GD and I had lost 20 pounds because I’m eating way better usually and walking a ton. The last few weeks I have definitely been walking less like I was walking 7 miles a day in my second trimester and i’m down to like 5 miles a day in my third trimester because I have severe foot pain, sciatica and i’m exhausted. I could also probably eat a little better but in general I think i’m doing okay? Anyway in the last SIX DAYS I have somehow gained 3 pounds? I went to the doctor today and that’s how I know. The doctor didn’t say a word about it but when i google it, it says I shouldn’t be gaining more than 2 pounds a week. Anyone have any experience with this? I’m getting really scared. I’m also experiencing swelling and my blood pressure was elevated today so I have to go back to the doctor on friday to get my blood pressure taken again. But now i’m so nervous that i’m scared my blood pressure will be elevated again due to extreme nerves (which has happened TWICE now i was extremely anxious about 2 earlier appointments and it was elevated, then the next 2 times I was way calmer and it was fine.) The last time they checked my urine there was no protein in it but that was weeks ago. Is it possible to have such a weight gain, swelling, and elevated blood pressure and not have pre-e?
