Pregnancy after Surgery

So, I am nine weeks pregnant with our 2nd baby. I had my first before surgery. I am now a little over 2 years post-op. I have been below my goal weight for over a year. Before I got pregnant I was running 5 to 10 miles 4 days a week, zumba one day a week, and weight lifting 2 days a week. I had some spotting at 7 weeks and my doctor banned me from running at least until 2nd trimester. I also cannot lift heavy weights. I literally ran a half marathon at my best pace every 4 days before I found out I was pregnant. I have been walking and using light weights, but it is so hard for me to "rest". I have not gained any weight yet but my NUT wants me to gain at least 30 pounds. I feel like the past 2 years of my life have been dedicated to losing weight and exercising. Now, all I am told is to eat and rest. LOL.

I am doing exactly what my doctor says because we already love this baby so much. Has anyone else had issues with not being able to be as active?

Congrats to you on your pregnancy :)
