Like they said if your doctor isn't concerned you shouldn't be. I am 38 weeks and still down about 24 pounds.  Even in these last weeks when they say you will gain 1 pound per week I haven't,  actually last week I lost 1 more pound and now have just stayed the same and my doctor isn't concerned at all
