MIne has definitely not slowed down, but has seemed to increase. I chalk it up to water retention as my swelling has seemed to increase as well lately. Doctors didnt seem to be concerned at this point...

With my last pregnancy, I didn't gain much weight (maybe 2-3 pounds) the last 8 weeks (and I had a full term healthy baby) so I assume it will be the same this time. I gain the bulk of my weight during the 2nd trimester.
At my last apt. I had gained 3 lbs in one week. Thats from only about a half to 1 lb every week. This happened with my first too, I gained the majority of my weight in the last few weeks.
Re: How much are you gaining in these last 4-5 weeks?
With DS1 I gained 4 lbs the last 8 weeks.
But I also know people who gained like 14 lbs the last month because of water retention.
