Subject: Re: 8 months preg. and I havent gained a pound
When I was pregnant I went from 117 lbs. to 173 lbs. I would have
given anything to be in your place. I would have an ultrasound done by
a radiologists, not the doctor (if you don't trust your doctor). If the
ultrasound shows everything is normal, don't worry, relax. You'll need
the energy for labor. Good luck and Congratulations.
