I’ve gained about 9 pounds so far, and I’m 18 weeks 3 days. Because I was overweight to begin with, my doctor advised that I not gain more than 20 pounds this pregnancy. I’m a little nervous, because I’ve already gained about half of what I should be and I’m not quite halfway there. I’m already starting to have some sciatic pain, and my body feels like it got hit by a train sometimes 😂 I definitely understand why she didn’t want me to put much weight on.
