Is anyone else experiencing weight LOSS in their 3rd trimester?

Question

I'm 36+2 and I'm eating normally (if not moreso) but the scale keeps dropping the pounds. Is this normal??

Answer

I am just a couple days shy of 34 weeks. I lost 16 pounds in my first trimester...gained it all back and then just a bit in my 2nd trimester. Now I’m down 6 pounds in my 3rd trimester. My dr. Didn’t seem worried...and didn’t even mention it. I’m the one who brought it up. She just said that everyone’s bodies handles the changes differently. As long as baby is getting what they need...everything is okay. 
I’m now only about 8 lbs more than I was pre-pregnancy...but baby is measuring a week ahead in size (5.3 at 33 weeks!) so everything seems to be fine. I also look ginormous....and feel like I have gained 50 lbs. our bodies are amazing!

Answer

Unless you doctor is concerned, I don't think you need to be either.
The baby and all the other pregnancy related things are taking up a lot of room in your body right now, so it is reasonable that you might feel full more easily and not be eating as many calories as before. Not to mention it is a lot or work for your body to be growing an almost full term baby, so I am sure we burn more calories in the last trimester. As long as you are staying hydrated and trying to make the most nutritionally speaking out of what little you are able to eat, you are doing fine!

Answer

I haven't lost weight, but since 30 weeks (I'm 36 weeks now) I haven't gained anything, but my fundal height is continually 2cm ahead so my doctor isnt worried at all!

Answer

I haven't lost any weight but at my last appointment I hadn't gained anything, which is uncommon for me since I've been steadily gaining the entire pregnancy.

Answer

I have heard that you will lose a few pounds toward the end of pregnancy
