I had my weekly appointment Friday and he did a culture for pre-term labor but the nurse didnt put my name on it I had to go back today. Thankfully they used today as this weeks appointment so I would not have to return again on friday. When I stepped on the scale it show 5 lbs lost. How is that possible? My dr said that while he was not in "this is an major issue" mode he was concerned. I havent changed my diet or anything like that so how is dropping that much weight possible. I asked him and he said it could just be that she hit a big growth spurt but I know have 8 days to gain at least 3-5lbs.

Anyone else just drop weight out of blue this far along? If so what did you dr do/say about???

As far as I know I have only gained 7 pound this time (doctors orders) HOWEVER, the past few days my pants are falling off me AND I can wear my e-ring which has not fit in over 18 months...I go Thursday to find out what is up.

A lot of things could make how much you weigh vary. If your clothes/shoes were heavier last time, if you had went to the bathroom recently, how much you have eaten, the time of day, etc. My weight generally varies between 4-5 lbs throughout the day.

That being said, I lost about 5 lbs in the past week. Hopefully at my apt on Fri my doctor isn't too concerned. ?

Well I'm not losing, but in the last 6-8 weeks I have hardly gained a thing . . . seems I gained most of my lbs. at the beginning and 2nd trimester.  Hope everything is okay!

Yep...you sound like me, but I lost 3 pounds, not 5.  My goal is to gain weight by my appointment on Monday.  They don't seem TOO concerned, although I was asked by my doctor if I was eating, which made me feel crappy...of COURSE I'm eating.  I think their bigger concern is that I have only gained 11 pounds to date, but when I told them that my mom had similar experiences during pregnancy they felt a little better.

If you were plus size pre-pg (as you have said) I am surprised that you DR is concerned with this?!?!1

Up until my last appointment, I had only lost weight during the third tri.  My OB was not concerned because I was measuring on track.

I lost 4 pounds at last appointment. I have not changed my diet at all. I've lost another pound this week. The OB is a little concerned, but I'm still measuring where I'm supposed to be. He said he would be more concerned if I didn't gain any weight or lost again at my next appointment.
