  I gain most of my weight in the last month and it wasn’t really a problem. I think any concern would depend on a few things like total weight gain and if you have any other symptoms because rapid weight gain can be a symptom of pre-e.

  yeah totally, if this was just my normal weight gain then it’s probably nothing but this is completely abnormal for me. from may 20 to june 3 i gained 4 pounds (2 weeks), and that’s kinda been my normal of gaining a few pounds every 2-3 weeks. however from june 3 till june 8 (5 days) i gained 4-5 pounds already 🥹 
  
  my doctors have never been concerned with pre-e bc i always have really normal bp and rarely have protein in my urine. the only issue i have that might signal pre-e to me would be that i’ve been having terrible palpitations especially in the last couple weeks or so. like i said, ill mention my concerns to my doc but in the meantime, this is just weird 🤔

  It can definitely be alarming to see the number jump like that! I think there was one week that I gained something similar and my doc wasn’t concerned because I hadn’t gained a lot at that point. I became so hungry at the end, I craved carbs all the time. Also there’s usually extra fluid retention in the last months or so and baby is gaining as well!

  It's common to experience rapid weight gain in the final weeks of pregnancy, but it's good to mention it to your doctor. They can ensure everything is on track.
