Rapid weight gain in final weeks??

Question

My weight gain has been on point and steady throughout this pregnancy, I don’t restrict my diet (couldn’t even if I tried, starving all the time). But I just stepped on the scale for my 37th week appointment, and I’ve put on 6 pounds since 2 weeks ago!!! How is this possible?? I do not have high blood pressure for preeclampsia concern. Is it just water or am I getting really fat without me realizing 😂 Anyone else??

Answer

I’m having the same issue. I have massive swelling in my hands and feet so my doc feels pretty sure it’s due to water retention, esp since blood pressure and everything else seems normal. 🤞🤞

Answer

Water weight

Not to worry you, but rapid weight gain is a sign of preeclampsia. Are your doctors concerned?
