WIC

I know I should appreciate the fact that we get WIC, but I'm so over it. I went today after being there in Aug, Sept, and Oct again for a weight check for ME. I understand they have guidelines, but encouraging a person who is considered obese on all charts and scales to gain weight just because they are pregnant doesn't seem like a healthy idea. I should have lied to them when they asked my pre-pregnancy weight to avoid this whole situation, but didn't know it would lead to this. I have to go back again next month to see a nutritionist because of my lack of weight gain. I figured that when I went today I would be ok since I was back to pre-pregnancy weight, but nope. I absolutely will NOT strive to gain weight to get them off my back. I guess I'll go back one more time and then after that just put my WIC off until baby is born since I refuse to fight for an appt I can make and the 30 minute drive each way. While I appreciate it,   I don't like being told to gain weight. I'm not even close to where they think I need to be. My BMI before I got pregnant was 31.9 now I weigh the same just have a whole lb and growing baby.
I guess it also bothers me because they are not medical drs, and healthy mom with no weight gain and healthy baby are absolutely acceptable to any dr. I gained 25lbs, 15lbs, 12lbs and 18lbs in that order with the other kids so no weight gain at 23 weeks is absolutely normal for me.
