Ashley responded that she’s gotten several complaints about that issue from others. She added, “I am happy to have a doctor who doesn’t make weight gain in pregnancy a big deal.”
She revealed that it hasn’t been an issue for her. “I gained 40 pounds. with Dawson and at 28 weeks right now I’ve gained 25 pounds,” Ashley revealed.
The Bachelor Nation star went on to add her personal opinion: “Unless it’s truly unhealthy, I think we need to chill about weight gain.”
