12. I was told to limit my pregnancy weight gain to 18-20 lbs. during the 60's, also.

My height and weight (5' 5 1/2", 120 lbs.) were similar to yours. My babies weighed 8.8, 8.3, and 7.12 and I gained a minimum 30 lbs. with each pregnancy and was scolded every time I went to the doctor. I really tried to stay within their guidelines, but I just couldn't. I ate healthy foods, was careful with my portions and didn't snack in between, and exercised regularly, but I just kept gaining weight and getting fussed at.

BTW, even with those weight gains, each time I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time the baby was 8 weeks old without any effort at all.
