Weight loss at end of pregnancy?

in May 2012 Moms

I have steadily gained about 40lbs during my pregnancy. The last month I haven't gained any which I thought was weird but my doctor didn't seem to think it was a problem. The last couple of days when I got on the scale (same time as usual every morning), I have lost a pound both days. I have tried the smell check for amniotic fluid and it doesn't seem sweet. Is this normal?

(I went ahead and called my doc and I am waiting for a call back).

    Completely normal to not gain or even lose weight in the last three weeks of pregnancy. I've been steady since 36w.

    I have not gained much weight the last two months.  I also weigh myself every morning and I fluctuate +/- 2 lbs on any given day.  I think it is totally normal.  I have only gained about 6lbs in the last 10 weeks.  I did most of my gaining in 2nd tri.

    My weight has been holding pretty steady since 36 weeks with +/- 2lbs variation. I was told it's normal
    Nevermind me, I'm too distracted by my mini-carrots to think properly image

    I had lost 2 lbs at my 40 week appointment, and have maintained that at my last two NST visits. Before that I had a just minor gains and/or consistent weights since 36 weeks .

    It can be normal. I started losing weight at the end of my pregnancy, but if it worries you, then it can't hurt to call.

    I talked to the nurse and she said the doc wasn't concerned because the baby is still moving alot and there is no blood. Who ever thought I would be complaining about weight loss! :)

    I think that's normal.  For some reason, I can't seem to gain more than 20lbs during pregnancy overall -- I started at 120 with both and am ending at 140.  I go above that a little and lose at the end.  My OB has never had a problem with it.
