losing weight in third trimester

[Malia321]

I'm 37w5d and have been losing weight. At my 37w appt I was down two lbs from my previous appt and I just weighed myself at home and am down another lb. My weight gain was already on the low end. Has anyone else experienced this?

I also stop getting bigger and measure smaller but doctor said it was because the baby dropped and now he is lower so she said it is normal

33 weeks and I haven't gained anything yet.  I'm still losing.  My doc is not concerned because baby is growing perfectly. Just came from an ultrasound where they estimate her to be 5pds 11 oz. So try not to stress your self out over gaining weight. If your little one is measuring right,  they'll have no concern.

I lost a total of 15 pounds this pregnancy and have only gained 4 lbs. So im still down in weight. At my 36 week appt and 37 week appt I weighed the exact same. And when I weighed at home yesterday (my 38 week appt is in 2 days) I lost almost 2 lbs. Hopefully baby boy is still growing good since at my 36 appt my ob said I measured 36/37 and at my 37 week appt I measured 37.
Has anybody stopped getting bigger?

My gf lost a total of 15lbs because of the GFD diet they put her on.    As long as baby is measuring bigger and not smaller your fine.

I am 34 weeks and i lost 3 pounds from week 33 to week 34 i has been checked every week because GD since i got it on week 28 they put me on a diet and i have not gain any weight since then. I am seing by two doctors each week and nobody said nothing about my weight so i just assumed it is ok. I also read online loosing weight is a sign that deliver is close :-)

I hope that's it! I am a little worried even though my doctor said it does sometimes happen.

I've read it could be a sign of labor nearing,
