Losing Weight?

Question

Anyone losing weight in the third trimester?
I've gone down around 5lbs between my 31 week and 34 week OB appointments. My OB was very quizzical about it since I've been working from home with basically no exercise since the corona lockdown, but seemed to be fine once I mentioned I'm doing diet control (low carbs) for my GD and I feel great overall.
EDIT: I gained about 15lbs before losing 5lbs, so I'm netting around 10lbs gain now.

Answer

It’s likely your GD diet. I also have GD and my last appointment I’d lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks. My dietician said my body is just responding really well to the GD diet and schedule. The baby is measuring fine so we know it’s not an issue with her and everyone seems to be happy with my weight so I’m not going to worry.

Answer

I've lost weight my entire pregnancy. More in the 1st and 2nd trimester but down about 7 pounds overall from pre pregnancy. No one seems to be too concerned.

Answer

I’ve been losing weight also. I honestly think it’s because it’s been so nice out so we’ve been bike riding and playing outside. And let’s be real, lugging large ass kids toys from the garage to the yard every time is quite the work out also 😂

Answer

I’ve been losing weight as well. Switched to low carb for gd and my husband has been encouraging me to go for a walk almost daily (I was going to the gym before everything got shut down). I’ve been cooking so many fresh meals that I’m sure it’s helping weight loss but my husband’s had me track calories to make sure I’m not starving myself try to keep my blood sugar normal
