Weight gain

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm 36weeks pregnant and since my last doctors appointment I haven't gained any weight.  I didn't gain weight in the 1st trimester due 2 sickness, but in the 3rd I've been pretty steady with my weight gain...at the very least a poun a week.  And now it's been almost 2 weeks and still no weight gain.  Could that mean anything?  Or is it just normal?  Thanks in advance!

I have gained 30 lbs so far. 15 or so just in my first trimest then about 10 in my second trimester and now i'm in my third and i've only gained 5 lbs in 6 weeks. So for me the gain is slowing down. Which is good cause most of it so far has been me eatting like a pig. Lol.

You're lucky!! I have always gained the most in my final few weeks of each pregnancy, baby is laying down fat now and it usually causes us to gain more, especially if baby has dropped and eating becomes more pleasant again! I cant stop now, baby is halfway engaged and I am finally enjoying eating again!

I had a friend that gained all her weight in the second trimester. Durring the 3ed she stayed the same the whole time. Doc said that the baby was looking good and more than likely she was loseing weight herself and the baby was gaining and ended up just evening out. Maybe thats what is happening to you.....

My doctor says as long as I gain between 12-30 pounds through my entire pregnancy I am fine. How much have you gained thus far? I'm 28 weeks today and have gained a total of 12 pounds total but I haven't gained anything in two weeks as well. He said I'm fine because I have been consistently gaining.
