drama with the scale - ugh!

I have been trying really hard not to obsess about my weight during my pregnancy, so I have not really been weighing myself at all in between doctor's appts. Well, today I went swimming at the Acquatic Center and I decided to step on the scale since I have a dr appt tomorrow anyways. Imagine my shock when the scale said that I had gained 15 lbs in two weeks!!! I almost had a meltdown right there. I could not imagine how I could have possibly gained that much weight in such a short amount of time. So when I got home, I quickly dug out my bathroom scale and prayed that there was some sort of mistake. Well, my scale at home says that I am about 15 lbs less than the scale at the gym. If anything maybe I gained about a pound or two since my last dr appt. OMG how could a scale at a gym be SO off?!?! There are probably a lot of women who are going to be pretty unhappy when they step on that scale. So I was feeling very relieved, but then I started to second guess myself and think what if the scale at the Aquatic Center really was right? So I drove over to my mom's house just to use her scale. It matches up with my scale at home, so I feel pretty confident that it was just some fluke with the other scale. Ugh! What an ordeal! From now on I think that I will just stick to my plan of only being weighed at the dr. office!
