weight gain and pregnancy

God damn am I tired of all the weight gain threads on the pregnancy boards. Are women stupid? Don't they know we are supposed to gain weight when pregnant? Do they know that you aren't just gaining huge chunks of fat (if you gain the "normal" amount) but carrying around extra baby related weight- baby, placenta, fluid, etc. Has our society fucked us up that much that putting on weight even while growing a whole other person in our bodies is a horribly stressful and awful experience? "I was told I was gonna gain a pound a week at the end! Help how do I avoid that!?" GAH! Ya, your baby is bulking up to, you know, survive and be healthy outside your womb!
