Rapid weight gain?

Question

Anyone else experiencing rapid weight gain this late in the game? I'm a STM, 34+6 and I've gained over 2 lbs in the last three days. I know I'm starting to retain more water and I'm doing as much as I can to prevent that. I'm also cutting out simple carbs and watching what I eat in general - but the scale keeps going up by about 0.5 lbs every day! Any advice??

Answer

My weight seems like it keeps moving up but I know it's swelling.  I look pretty plump and I'm not eating more. I'm actually not nearly as hungry and before.  19 days left give or take!  I think after my first I was down about 25/30 lbs a few days after giving birth because I got all the water weight off too.  I gained much more than that first time unfortunately.

Answer

Just had an appointment today and I've gained 12 lbs in 4 weeks. From 32 week to 36 and half weeks. My doctor wasn't concerned but just told me easy on he salt, a lot of it is water.

Answer

All of a sudden I started swelling up. I do need to straighten up my diet a little. I usually am gluten/ sugar free. I had this last week. Bu the baby does gain 1/2 lb a week near the end.

How is your BP?

Answer

I haven't been gaining any these past 2 weeks. I've lost my appetite a lot. I heard that you usually start to lose weight the closer you get to your due date, but it may be different with other people.

Answer

I have no clue but following. Ive tried increasing water intake/ decreasing sodium as i eat too much and gained something like 5 lbs in a matter of a week. Was expecting a couple lbs due to poor diet but not that many. Been getting swelling too.
