4 pounds this week. Shoot me!

Gah! With DD I gained 29 lbs by 36 weeks when I delivered. This time I was up 32 by 36 weeks (not horrible but I was a little disappointed) and then added 4 POUNDS THIS WEEK! Ick! What a nice little reward for making it to term this time! I'm guessing the stretch marks will all arrive tomorrow. Isn't pregnancy grand?

I'm just telling myself that it's all water..... It's all water, right? RIGHT??!?!?

    Lol I'm hoping it's water too! I've had stretch marks since very early on though... but recent weight gain has been really tough on me emotionally. In the beginning my weight would jump up but then stay the exact same for a few months. Since a couple of weeks into my 3rd trimester I've steadily put on 1 to 2 lbs a week... I know they say it's normal, but it wasn't MY normal! I'm overweight to begin with so I was happy with my weight gain until recently... I DREAD getting weighed now! Last week I gained 2 lbs... AFTER giving up all fast food and junk food. So disappointing. Oh well, just a week and a half til my due date... can't get too much higher!

    I have 2 NST's a week and get weighed every time. Friday to Tuesday last week I gained 5lbs, and by this past Friday's appointment lost the 5 and a few ounces again without doing anything different than I've been doing all along.

    I asked because I was curious, OB told me she wasn't concerned because it most likely was a time of day/water weight/nobigdeal fluctuation.

    Oh I hope it's water - my weight gain has been pretty steady (no huge gains or losses), but I'm up 37lbs at 35 weeks.

    I have slight polyhydramnios so I like to think my weight gain is water weight. My Dr. really hasn't said much about how much I've gained but I've gained more than I should since I was bigger pre-pregnancy. I'm definately going on a diet and exercise regimen once I'm cleared at 6 weeks. This weight can't stick around!!

    I gained 10 lbs in two weeks over Thanksgiving... let's just be thankful that we'll be losing this weight in no time!
