Retaining water?

Have you ladies noticed dramatic differences if you weigh yourself throughout the day?  Lately I've noticed as much as a 6 pound difference if I pee a lot throughout the day!

Sometimes it is just like that. Perhaps you've weighed yourself after drinking alot or a big meal. I always weigh myself first thing in the morning before breakfast.

My bp and all tests have been normal but i've been keeping a close eye out for excessive swelling.

It is normal to start having water retention, if you're drinking alot that can make a difference but talk to your OB about it as massive flunctuations in weight within the day may be due to preclampsia. Is your BP normal or elevated?
