Every time I go to the doctor, I dread getting on the scale. For some reason, it's always 3-4 pounds higher than mine at home. I always joke that their scale is broken, because that's much easier to believe than I'm fatter than I should be.
So, for my first prenatal visit, I weighed myself at home, just so I wouldn't freak too much at the doctor's. I get there and step on the scale; it was 12 lbs higher than my measurement! I told them, "your scale is broken", and they said, "yeah, everyone says that" and wrote the big number in my chart.
I went back yesterday, stepped on the scale, and it was off 2 pounds. I said, "You fixed the scale!" She answered, "yeah, it was really messed up, but we got it recalibrated." But, they didn't fix my chart, so it looks like I lost 7 lbs in 10 days (yes, if you do the math, I GAINED 3 lbs - eek!) I guess it's good my starting weight was overstated, so my weight gain will seem reasonable. Still, I do wish they would have taken me seriously...
