I will apologize in advance for the lengthy post I'm hoping to get some advice and a little reassurance. My Midwife told me I should only gain 20 lb from the time I got pregnant to the birth of my baby. I have always struggled with my weight and been overweight most of my life so I understand her wanting to limit my weight gain. In a way it has almost made it worse because I stress so much over the weight that I'm gaining. I am just shy of 22 weeks pregnant and have gained about 15 pounds. We had to go through <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to get pregnant and the hormones from that caused 15 to 20 pounds of weight gain prior to getting pregnant. I work 2 part time jobs so I am always on the go, I try to go on a walk a couple times a week but I'm also fighting exhaustion. I watch what I eat but I would be lying if I said I didn't give in to cravings every so often. All of my bloodwork and tests are normal so far. I know stress isn't good for me or our little boy, I just can't get her comment out of my head. Anyone else go through anything similar? Or been told a little extra weight is ok?
