weight gain

What's everyone at for total weight gain around the 35 week mark?
Someone said this is where weight peaks and next few weeks won't be much gain...doesn't sound right to me

I've read a pound a week at this point is normal. I think it is different for everyone though. I haven't gained any weight at all up till recently because of preeclampsia (I've got water weight on me) I actually weigh less then I did before pregnancy. As long as your baby is putting on weight and your OB says everything is good I wouldn't worry

That's accurate, in fact I lost weight with both pregnancies beyond that point. I was at 21lb, now down to 18 lb total weight gain.
