Weight Loss at 33 Weeks?

Question

I am currently 33 weeks. I had my appointment this morning, and it turns out I lost a couple pounds from my last appointment two weeks ago. 
That means I've gained a total of only 8.5 this whole pregnancy. I was sure I had gained weight, as I feel my belly has grown quite a bit recently. I was average weight to start, and my doctor doesn't seem concerned. Anyone else been in a similar boat? I'm just a bit concerned I guess. Thanks!

Answer

I'm 37 weeks and I haven't gained any weight. From weeks 35-36 I actually lost 2 pounds. Your weight fluctuating a couple of pounds here and there is normal. If your doctor isn't concerned, you shouldn't be either. I was worried, but I've actually had 2 growth scans now one at 27 weeks and one last week and baby is measuring exactly where he should be.
