Pregnant after 35

Lost a pound?

I thought I was supposed to gain a lot of weight in the 3rd trimester but in the last two weeks I'm not sure I gained any, and this morning when I stepped on the scale I had actually lost a pound.  I know, there could be fluctuations in water retention and other things, but I really expected to be gaining steadily.   Is this ok?

Re: Lost a pound?

  • It's not unusual to lose a little toward the end. Your stomach gets so squished that there just isn't a lot of room for food.

  • I lost a few between my last two appointments.  Got a little talk from the nutritionist, but she didn't seem too worried.

  • I lost a little weight at the end last time.  I was just too miserable to eat.

  • I'm almost 23 wks and still haven't gained anything significant.  I will gain 1 lose 1, and 2 lose 1 1/2. So as of right now I am actually 1/2 a pound more than what I started at.  If your OB isn't concerned then you shouldn't worry either.  I know that is not an easy thing when you are expecting but try. It will all work out like it should.
  • I've heard you can lose a little towards the end too. I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find that I have only gained half a pound in the last 2 weeks!
