What Causes Excessive Weight Gain And Headache During Pregnancy?
I am 33 weeks and 3 days pregnant I have gained over 14 lbs in the last two weeks. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and all they said is that if I gain much more by next appointment in two weeks then that s when they will do ultrasound. I have had major headache all day and can not get rid of it with Tylenol and now when I press on swollen ankles it stays indented. I tried calling but doctors office said they will try to contact her and if not today she will get back to me tomorrow. My stomach measured out at 35 weeks yesterday
