I can't imagine why your doctor is freaking you out this way. I've known lots of people who ate healthy and ended up gaining 50+ lbs. anyway (my very athletic sister being one of them) and had natural deliveries. It's probably not the ideal, but it happens! Eat healthy and get some safe pregnancy exercise and you'll have done everything you can to avoid a c-section. (Of course with every pregnancy there's a chance you'll end up with a c-section- I've had three and it's not the end of the world- once you see your sweet baby, it won't matter).

Oh and forgot to say, I ended up with c-sections and I LOST weight for my entire pregnancies- so you never know!
