weight loss

This is my third pregnancy and both of my other babies came 3 wks early. I was  small/average does that have anything to do with babies coming before the due date? I have loss 10-15 lbs. because of the flu and I just haven't been able to gain it back, will this one come early too? I am going to ask the doctor at my appt Monday, but I wanted to hear some of your guys feedback. Thanks.

Yeah that does make sense. My mom's kids were all early too. I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong because of March of Dimes and their promotion of 39 wks. I really started thinking about it with this pregnancy because I will be having a scheduled c-section, but they won't schedule before 39 wks...

Some ladies just have a shorter gestation than others. If your other two babies showed no signs of being premature, then I would think it's totally possible you will go into labor early this time too.
