Gaining weight like its going out of style

I didn't put on any weight until I was over 20 weeks.. and then it was a slow gain. But lately it just seems to be piling on like crazy! It doesn't seem to matter if I eat healthy or go for what I am craving, I just keep getting heavier. Anybody else spiking a lot lately? Thank goodness I only have 3 weeks left!

    I lost wt until almost the end of my 2nd tri. But thats because I was eating like I had GD... I thought I would again since I was with DD.

    I still am not eating a tonn of carbs and sugars, a good habit I am trying to establish so I can kill the "baby wt" after LO is born. But I have gained about 10 pounds since october. Some of that could also be from being home on disability though.

    I gained 4 pounds in a week last appointment, so, uh, yeah. I was doing really well and was on track to gain about 25 to 30, and now I'm on track to gain 38 to 40 :(. Well, hopefully it means healthy baby! And will come off just as easily as it came on..I really hope so.

    I've gained 34# at my 37 week appointment.  I'm not happy about this weight gain.  I was really trying to keep it from 15-25#.  I passed that a loooong time ago.

    I'm thinking the same thing only I have 2 weeks max.

    Supposedly I gained 4lbs in the last week but none the week before - so I'm averaging 2lbs/week here at the end and I'm starting to feel disgusting as this is the heaviest I've ever been.

    I haven't gained a ton still, but it's definitely been packing on more recently. It's because your baby grows half a pound every week! That has to show up somewhere!

    Same thing happened to me.  My doctor was very encouraging early on to try to get me to gain weight and now I've been gaining 4 lbs in 2 weeks or even less time and have gained over 25lbs now!  I'm really petite and still haven't really gotten chubby so I don't really know where it is all going.  I'm really not even eating enough to gain like that and my belly isn't even that big.  I think a lot is fluid for sure.  I still have six more weeks so I'm hoping to contain some of the spiking until the end.
