weight. the ultimate worry!

Ok so I started at 130lbs. I lost 8 lbs the first 3 months. Then by 5 months I was up to 132. Then at 6 months got to 135, then by 27 weeks I was finally up to 140. I was happy I was finally starting to gain weight. Well just got weighed today at 28+6 days so pretty much 29 weeks and I'm back at 137. I lost 3 lbs in the last 3 weeks. Wth!! Thought the third trimester brought on all the weight? With my son I had gained like 30 lbs by the 30 week Mark. I know I don't eat as much as I should but I can't eat if I'm not hungry and I'm barely ever hungry. I am a bartender and on my feet 4/5 nights a week for 10+ hours at a time do that keeps me in shape. Should I be worried? I know 5 girls that are 1-2 months behind me and all bigger then me. :(

That's my main problem, I hate meat  when I'm pregnant!

Don't worry or stress unless your Dr is concerned I am 31 weeks and after finally gaining weight I lost 4-6 pounds just try to eat more protein my Dr said pediasure with icecream would be fine so I make a milkshake its not the best but its good for the baby so I hack through it

I gained about 10-15lbs my whole pregnancy and lost about 15 at the start. My son also was measuring all over the place behind ahead and right on.. When they measure you its not that accurate because it depends how baby is laying how you measure.. So don't stress. My son was born at 38 weeks at 6lbs 12.5 oz and as healthy as can be. :)

I'm just worried. I'd even pay out of pocket for it!

Yeh I would push for a growth scan.. I was measuring almost 3 weeks behind but on scan bubs was actually measuring bigger thn average.

I asked her at my 27 week appointment for a growth scan bc I'm worried and my stomach measured a week behind abd she didn't say yes. I'm going to ask hee again next week at my 30 week appointment if I'm still behind abd not gaining weight. I just don't feel like 7 lbs is enough for coming up on being 8 months :(

Im 29 weeks and gained 13lbs all up. Midwife said im measuring small for 27 week ( at the time of app) but I had scan growth and baby is fine.  But im a nurse so I hardly get chance to sit down and rest so im guessing thats why I have gained more. As long as bubs is ok, I wouldn't worry too much :)
