Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
It’s great that you only had mild side effects and only for the one day. If you’ve been OK since it’s unlikely that you’ll get any other side effects.
You’re pregnant, so you’r going to naturally put on weight due to your pregnancy, your body will also be different once you give birth, so please try not to worry about your weight now.
Because you’re on meds, the risk to your child will be drastically reduced, this is even if you started meds late. The important thing is that you continue to take them as prescribed. Please see here for more info: https://i-base.info/guides/pregnancy
