Weight loss

Last Monday I was 231.9 pounds, and today at my appointment I was 224.0. They weighed me 4 different times to make sure that was accurate and after being weighed on 3 different scales it was confirmed. My doctor didn't say anything about it, but it still worries me. Has anybody else lost that much weight in a week before this far along in pregnancy?

The same exact thing happened to me. I went in and I was 190, then exactly one week later I went in and was 183. Same thing with me, the doctor wasn't worried at all.

I haven't been on any special diet and she said my weight gain was fine last week. I am due in 6 days and it hasn't caused me any problems.

It is normal, it is actually preferred for women who are overweight to go on some type of diet, or lose weight since it can cause pregancy problems or delivery trouble, i hear the doctor i work with tell his patients this all the time.
