weight loss

had an appt on Friday and I was 151 pounds...had another appt today and I lost 3 pounds. Doctor wasn't concerned. Is it just an old wives tale that weight loss is a sign that baby will be making their entrance soon or is that a medical fact? Any STM+ know? 38+6 today.

    My understanding is that it's not uncommon to lose a bit of weight in the last week or two before baby comes. I'd be ok with that, since I dropped 1 lb in the last week! Haha

    My midwife told me it's no big deal, just make sure you're getting the nutrients you and baby need and try to avoid losing more weight.

    I've lost 8 in the past month. ..I have been eating too but everytime I weigh, another 2 lbs is gone. This has never happened to me before with my other kids.

    I lost over 4 from Wed-Mon. Dr wasn't concerned and I have had less swelling lately, so maybe less water retention is part of it? I thought it was pretty strange though, so I'm interested to hear anyone else's take!

    I've been losing weight too....with everything being so squished internally, I just don't have the appetite I used to and as soon as I start eating I can feel the acid start to rise in my stomach and throat. But I've heard this is common at about this time and lots of women lose weight in the last month.

    I'm a STM and have lost 6 lbs over the past 3 weeks (am 36 weeks). This most definitely did not happen to me during my first pregnancy where I gained a lot of weight. I have noticed that the weight loss came after I started drinking a lot more water and got a couple of pregnancy massages to help with cankle swelling. Doc says that the lbs I lost were probably due to water retention which I got rid out. I'm not complaining!!

    I lost about a half lb between weeks 36 and 37 and didn't gain at all between 37 & 38. I think it's pretty normal, your stomach is pretty cramped by baby and this is the time baby is growing the most (putting on a half lb to full lb a week). Just do your best to eat when you can and stay hydrated and your body will do what it needs to do.
