uhm weight like question

in 3rd Trimester

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a surge in hunger/weight gain around the 28-32 week range. In the past 4 weeks (since wk 28), I have gained double per week what I was previously gaining through the whole rest of the pregnancy.

And if you have, does it slow down because Im going to be the size of a small whale if this continues thru week 40!

 Its just making me really nervous and am wondering if this is normal/average for anyone else. I plan on asking my midwife at my appt next week. Im eating well, mainly a ton of protein and then Im like am I eating a too much protein? Is that even possible? Ahh the worries never cease.

    I think surges in weight gain can fluctuate depending on the person and when the baby is having a growth spurt. Definitely ask your doctor. As for "too much" protein, google the food pyramid. It will tell you how many servings of protein to eat a day.

    I had a super weight gain around then and the last few weeks I've only had like one pound gain or so. I haven't gain 20lbs total yet so its not a good thing for me.

    The last few days i am starving all the time.  I can see a possible huge weight gain by the time i go to the doc again.

    My largest weight gain was between weeks 28-32. Since then, I've slowed down a bit to normal for me. Some people just gain and have their growth spurts at different times. I wouldn't worry. :)
