For sure...of course you need to excercise (special high-risk circumstances aside). But the baby needs nourishment too...9 pounds is not going to cut it. So at this rate, she'll gain what, another 5 MAYBE before the baby's born?
Normal weight gain is about 35 pounds, give or take. I still cling to the hope that this is not real, because that's just plain abuse. That child should be taken from her at birth if it is true. She's going to have a 5 year old with an eating disorder because "Mommy thinks I"m fat."

My big reality check came the month I gained... 13 pounds
That was month 5. I had gained about 10 pounds total up till then, and then BAM! I was in tears and my OB actually said he was glad I gained it because he was not believing me that I was easing up on the exercize and that I was fine. I had wanted to keep it to 30 pounds total... ended up with 42 I think... and have a gorgeous, healthy, beautiful baby. I learned after delivery that the OB was monitoring my weight a bit more carefully than normal because he had concerns, especially that I would try to lose after that 13 pound gain... and I did lose about 6 pounds the last 5 weeks (or I'd have been pushing 50
)
It was not about me.

This is what did it for me. I can't believe she's a fucking doctor
I do believe that unless you start out underweight or malnourished (and these women can rarely conceive anyway), your baby will get what it needs from you whether or not you gain weight (again if you eat a good diet and include important supplements). But, if you want to maintain your weight, you will gain weight which is distributed as follows:
*blah blah blah*
If you gain more than this (22-24 lbs), it will go to your fat stores, and this will be weight you need to lose after you deliver. If you gain less, I firmly believe your baby will be fine, you will just be thinner after.

seriously? How do you know she isnt lying? You guys dont know her.
A midwife is certainly capable to handle check ups for a pregnancy, and refer to an OB if there is a problem.
While her obssession might not be the healthiest view, i know people that have indeed not gained much weight during a pregancy, you do lose body fat and the baby gains it. There are so many factors here you all dont know, if her doctor who actually SEES her and VISITS with her isnt concerned, I am certain all the medical degrees here should ring her up and tell her she isnt doing a good job.

Of course midwives are capable, and it's been said above you can run while pregnant. I don't think anyone's disputing that...just her attitude that it's not necessary to gain weight while pregnant. (She stated that way back when.)
Whatever, either way it's a gong show, and I'm staying out of it now.

I think midwives are great too. I've had a horrible birth experience and am high risk, so I could never use one though. As for losing while pregnant...how can one lose body fat if that is one of the purposes of pregnancy - to put on body fat stores to nourish the baby? I know that women who are overweight can stand to gain only 15 lbs or so with pregnancy, but this woman is small and is definitely not overweight. And of course it's ok to run during pregnancy. There are loads of us on wimmins who are a testament to that.
But there is running and then there is hardcore training. Two different things. This woman also has a compulsion. She is OBSESSED with not gaining weight. Read the entries where she is injured. You don't find her mental state very fragile?

Do you want to take that chance with your child's life though? To me it's like signing up for a drug trial while your pregnant...who knows? It might be okay. But you don't know for sure. Too risky.

I've never had any kids. I don't know the first thing about pregnancy. I am one of those weirdos in Dude's post about crazy dog people. I have two dogs that I treat like human babies. They get the best food, the best medical care, living the life for sure.
If the baby is born healthy, do you think you will view it differently? Did you see my post below about my mom?
If the baby is born healthy, fantastic! I'm glad for the baby. For me though, it is a risk I'm not willing to take for my child. I'm doing everything in my power I can to make sure I stay as healthy as I can for this baby.
Was your mom actively trying to control the amount of weight she gained though? There's a difference between not gaining much due to medical conditions or whatnot, and trying your best to see how few pounds you can put on.

I love how she mentions back when were hunters and gatherers and women barely gained weight while pregnant. Yes there is a healthy comparisson for our modern age. How many women died in pregnancy and during childbirth in those days. And how many children died before age 5 if they survived the first few months of life.
Someone who is obsessed with their weight during pregnancy needs some serious counselling.

The woman does seem a little focused on herself without any real concern about her child.
One point that she makes to support her attitude, is that Paula R. did it, had a healthy child and then won in New York in the same year. As impressive as Paula's performance was and despite how undeniably strong she is, does anyone believe that she looks "healthy" or question that she went a little overboard. Further, is basing one's actions on the best of the elite a wise thing, particularly when dealing with a pregnancy?

IA, I read it about once a week. If she/the baby experiences problems pre or post birth, then I will remark on it. My mom gained only 12 pounds while pregnant with me, I am the youngest of 5 and <I think> I am okay and normal.
My mom left the hospital weighing exactly what she weighed before being pregnant. Back in her old clothes and everything.
I am very curious on the result, if the baby is healthy, etc. If the baby is fine, then it changes all the beliefs I had about pregnancy and limitations. Yes, I am intrigued.
I somehow get the feeling though that will all the eyes focused on her blog, we wouldn't hear the full story if there was problems with the baby anyways.

but why dont you trust that her midwife is taking good care of her?

I trust midwives... I suspect her midwife may not be getting the whole story though.
Really, regardless of whether or not the weight gain is healthy, I think at least from what she has written she has some serious body image issues though.

I think that it is just really hard to really have true insight from her infrequent postings, she doesnt even blog every day. I think people are being harsh in this thread, there are so many things that factor into good health during pregnancy, and they arent all there. I dunno, i think it is harsh.

Which one, she's been to like 4 or so.
I wonder why, she keeps switching it up.

arent they in the same practice?
when i was pregnant i had to rotate between the docs because whomever was on call when you went into labor is who would deliver you, that way they had each seen you .
not unusual at all.

She did admit to tripping and falling on the trail run. She also acknowledged the pelvic/muscle pain. She mitigated her workouts right away. I really was absolutely apoplectic when I first saw that, but then I thought....'I don't know ANYONE really with that fitness level. It is rare, most of our country is obese and riddled with health problems and conditions because of it.' I am one of those fat people still. Hard road improving my health. Slow going.

Drawing conclusions from a sample of one is a pretty iffy proposition.

Yeah! She's watching us.
If only she cared more about the child growing in her stunted stomach than what we're saying about her.
The fact that she spends so much time doing a point-counter point suggest that she doesn't believe her own shit.
yay sheepWolfsheep !

What if Katherine Switzer did not jump in the marathon as a bandit? Then would we ever know women could do it? I am very curious as to the result of this. If she remarks that a negative result came of this, then I will mention it to her.
I read that Paula Radcliffe ran until one day from delivering.
And that it seems it's not unhealthy if the pregnancy is going well. Seems that doctors approve as long as nothing bad happens.

When you get to that point, it's too late. You should think about the baby first, not when something happens...

There's nothing wrong with running during pregnancy. But 82 miles a week? On top of biking and running? And worried about her weight, instead of the baby?

But it's her child! Isn't that more important than a number on the scale?

I wish people would leave her the fuck alone. If only you all knew the guilt and personal responsibility I feel for all this negative attention she has received.

I'm surprised by how much you guys are trashing her for her weight gain (I didn't read the blog, just what you guys are all saying about the dr). I only gained 16 pounds when I was pregnant and A was a healthy 6 pound 1 oz when she was born. I ran through pregnancy to (though not at much as her by any stretch). I'm just saying that it is possible to gain a minimal amount of weight and still have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

I think the weight gain is only a manifestation of this woman's "me-first" mentality.
Honestly, if she acted like she was putting the best interest of the child first and still had a small weight gain, then I think people would be a lot more forgiving and understanding. Instead she acts like a child.

I haven't read the blog, but based on what people are saying here -
Having a kid is all about sacrifice. It starts at conception. If she can't put the baby first now, she's going to be in a world of hurt at 3 am....

I can't read it. I get too angry. One of my sisters was on total bedrest for her 2 out of 5 that lived (a set of twins were born early and then another single loss at 6 months). The other had many, many problems right before and after birth. The other can't have any kids and really wanted to. Me, I don't about but I know if I wanted kids I would most likely have a hard time of it. Lots of cousins have been through fertility issue hell, several would have loved to have kids but physically cannot. To see someone flaunt life like she does is disgusting and juvenile.
So much can go wrong.
