My best friend is now @4 months pregnant and she is HUGE! With her first
child she barely gained any weight until she was at least 6 months
pregnant. Her doctor told her that any children after your first, your
pregnancy happens faster. Because your body knows what to do and where
to put the weight so it does it right away.
(I don't know anything about Clomid and your chances of having twins
with it, this is just my opinion on your quick weight gain)
