3rd Trimester

How much are you gaining in these last 4-5 weeks?

 I thought things would slow down...but seem to be gaining 1 or maybe 2 lbs a week now

Re: How much are you gaining in these last 4-5 weeks?

  • I had lost 2 pounds at my 38 week appt.

  • you should gain about a pound a week for the last month. thats the time the baby really gains their weight.
  • 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 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.

  • Steady so far (neither gaining nor losing), though I feel I have a bit more of an appetite.

  • 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.
  • I've gained about 2 lbs a week for the past couple weeks now.
  • I have been losing a couple lbs a week.
  • 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.
    Effing crazy people.
