Is it ok to lose weight the last weeks of pregnancy?

Question

My Dr. told me I have like 3lbs more than what she expected from me so now I started eating pretty much only fruits (she told me to do that, and no bananas, grapes or pears) but I don't want to hurt my baby! I keep walking and stuff but this last month I suddenly got pretty big! Is it bad to lose weight the last weeks? I'm 36w2d! Opinions please?

Answer

The the goal shouldn't be lose weight just be healthy. Just eat healthy and take walks.

Answer

My mom cut out all bread and rice the last few weeks she was pregnant with my brother because the doctor was leaning towards a c-section because of his size. She substituted with tons of veggies and fruits so the baby wouldn't suffer...and yes, she didn't end up needing a c-section.
