Last week I weighed 3# more than I do today....what's that about? I've been eating the same although I haven't really wanted to eat...I just eat anyway cause I think I should. I thought the suggestion was to gain a # a week at this point...how the heck are you supposed to do that?

Actually, I think it's normal in the last few weeks to either maintain to to actually loose some weight.

Its normal for you to loose weight in the last month becaue the amniotic fluid in your womb starts to decrease because baby is drinking it and instead of releasing it back out it is being stored in their kidneys to make their first bowel movement!! Weird huh??

Never knew that about the fluid. I mean, I knew it decreased in the last few weeks- but now I know why! Yay! Learn something new daily.

So didn't know that, but way neat.
The last month of my pg I lost 4lbs. The doctors didn't seem to freak out, but said to make sure I was eatting. She told me do to the baby being so big he was pushin everything up and wasn't leaving much room for food.

I lost weight with all my pregnancies. Over here they only weigh you at the booking in appointment at 12 weeks after that they don't bother.
