38 weeks and weight gain...

hey ladies! I'm 38 weeks today and still gaining weight. In fact I gained 3 pounds in one week! Anyone else still gaining this much weight? I have been able to handle pregnany weight gain so far but now I'm to the point where it's really bothering me. Just interested to hear what others are going through.

  • Yes I have I have gained 5 pounds in the the last week after being the the weight for weeks before
  • Same here between my 36 and 37 week appointment last week I gained 3 pounds! Not looking forward to the week 38 one on thursday!!!! :'(
  • yes, 39 +2 and still gaining weight.. I've become overly hungry since Friday and want to eat everything all the time.. 
  • I gained 4 lbs between 36 and 37 weeks. I had only gained about 20 up to point. Now at 39 weeks and no signs of losing my appetite!
  • Same here!  Was up almost and plateaued for a couple weeks, and now I'm 37 weeks and STARVING again at least once a day.  I'm not looking forward to my appt this week either.  I didn't have an appetite for a few weeks.  What happened??
  • Same! Between 37 & 38 I gained 3 pounds :(
  • Yup. At this point some weeks I have no gain and some weeks I'll do 3 a week. Baby is putting on most his weight and I just feel like my body knows what it needs to do... Almost there and it will start going the other way again! :)

  • Great thank you all for weighing in! No pun intended! :) Glad to hear I'm in the same boat with all of you and that it sounds normal. Only a few more weeks ladies! Thanks!

  • I stopped gaining weight for 35/36/37 weeks, then went to my 38 week appointment and gained 6 lbs. No idea how this happened, I wasn't really eating or doing anything else differently. I wonder how much of it was water weight, I'm quite swollen in my legs/ankles/feet. The doctor was not concerned in the least, but it freaked me out. I've gained 24 lbs total, so far. At least others are in the same boat...
  • I've been steadily gaining about 2 lb/week for the last month (39 weeks). I'm only up a total of 22 lb though after losing over 10 in the first trimester.
