Anyone else losing weight/not gaining?

Question

I’m not gaining any weight anymore (33 weeks) and have even lost half a pound this past week, anyone else? Getting a little worried that it’s a sign labor is coming too soon because they say you lose weight/stop gaining when you’re near because your body starts to drain fluids? Anyone else?

Answer

Me! I lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks and then a week later gain almost a pound. They did an FNF test to see if I’ll have baby in the next two weeks I’m 32 weeks. I’m completely effaced and my cervix is barely a 1 cm. Cervix has dropped because baby is engaged but no more contractions. Just a tiny bit that re started today but very mild.

Answer

I've been 153 for the past 5 weeks 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't worry too much about it 😊

Answer

I’ve gained/lost the same 1# over the last 5 weeks. No signs of labor though and baby and fluid levels looked great on my growth ultrasound last week

Answer

I have lost 13 pounds since the beginning of my pregnancy. As long as baby is growing at a normal rate and I am still eating, doctor isn't concerned. Definitely don't think me not gaining weight is a sign of labor to come.

Answer

That happened with my daughter around 35 weeks. I wasn’t able to eat as much and you burn so many calories lugging all that extra weight around. I think it’s normal

Answer

Same situation here. Stopped gaining and even lost a couple pounds in the last two weeks. I’m not to concerned but am going to mention it to my doctor.

Answer

My weight gain definitely slowed once I hit 3rd trimester, so fluctuations like that can be normal.

Answer

I am now 2 pounds lighter than I was prepregnancy but my OB doesn’t seem to care so I guess it’s okay.
