9th month= weight loss?

I just got back from my 37 week check up and I've actually lost 2 pounds! I know this could be just water weight, but I'm surprised to have lost weight as opposed to just maintaining. The doctor didn't see any reason to be concerned, but has this happened to anyone else? I'm even wearing jeans today which are heavier than my ugly maternity dresses!

Better question- does this mean DS is on his way out?

    my doctor said this could happen to me (it never did...I kept on gaining until the very end) but it had something to do with fluid levels dropping a bit as the baby takes up more room. at least that was my take on what he said...someone else may have a better explanation :-)

    I plateaued, but didn't lose any weight. I have read that it could happen though, and, yeah, basically what bh said as to why.

    If I remember correctly I lost a couple pounds at the very end.

    In the grand scheme of things I'd say two pounds is just a drop in the bucket... could be water weight, could be that their scale was off by two pounds that day, etc.  I wouldn't necessarily say it means baby is on the way.
