how do I measure big but don't gain any weight?

Question

My whole pregnacy I've been the same weight or 2-4lbs under. Today she said I'm measuring a week big but I never even gain weight. Can someone explain this to me please. Like how is my uterus getting bigger and baby too but I'm not gaining weight.

Answer

She is gaining what your loosing

Answer

I'm doing the same. I've lost 14 pounds total and have been stagnant at that weight since 27 weeks (30 now). I had about 20 extra pounds before so it hasn't been a problem. I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead right now as well. I'm not worried at all but I do have a laid back approach to pregnancy and birth.

Answer

If you were overweight to begin with this is actually a pretty healthy situation. Your body is using the "extra" weight you had prepregnancy and putting that towards the baby. The measuring ahead could simply be because you were bigger to begin with. Since you consistently measures larger that seems to be more of a reflection of your normal than an indicator that the baby is larger. Sometimes this happens if you e had a previous pregnancy as well, or a higher amount of fluid. If you weren't overweight to begin with, this can be a potentially harmful situation to you... Where your body is being depleted of its own resources to sustain the baby because you aren't providing the extra calories that pregnancy requires 200-300 a day. This can result in bone loss, anemia and side effects in skin and hair condition from poor nutritional state.
