38 weeks weight gain not slowing down

I was looking forward to my weight plateauing in this last month but it's not slowing down. I'm still on track to gain less than 35lbs for the entire pregnancy but it's crazy seeing that number continue to creep up. I'm drinking an insane amount of water and don't feel/look bloated. Anyone else?

    Me too but iv been very healthy this entire pregnancy and as of last week iv been indulging a little more than normal, so it's all my fault.

    Don't worry about the weight gain so much. Especially since it's less than 35lbs. I know it's hard for us women to ignore weight gain, but maybe LO is just still growing.

    I'm only up 21 lbs but still steadily gaining about 1/2 lb a week (39-3 today). Haven't had any swelling, hoping baby slows down (or comes out!!) soon.

    I'm 5'1 and was 115 pre-pregnancy. I've gained 50lbs already....lol but most of its in my belly so I'm not sure what to think at this point. Luckily I'll only be pregnant for one more week

    Yes! I'm 38.2 today and the past month has been crazy! I'm up about 35-37 pounds in total but maybe 7 of that in the past month and my belly gained an inch a week for the past month. I also haven't been very active and am hoping to walk more, drink more water and plateau for the last 2 weeks. And maybe stay away from ice cream a bit more often....

    You are supposed to gain weight especially the last month. If your ob isn't concerned I wouldn't be.
    I am having the opposite problem, I have only gained 1 lb during the last 5 weeks. The dr actually got upset with me. So at least look at it as a blessing. Your baby is gaining a half lb to a lb.a week so it needs those extra nutrients.
