Just don't worry to much about it :) the majority of it will come off after baby is born..most of the weight you gain is baby and the amniotic fluid and the weight of your placenta..just don't stress girl!

I could have written this post myself. I started haining more than two pounds my last few weeks n doctor is telling me to slow down but the thing is I barely eat at all. Id love to see suggestions to this question as well.

I gained only 13 lbs my whole pregnancy. I have no clue how I kept all the weight off. You could go for short walks and make sure you drink plenty of water and eat a lot of fruits and veggies. The fruits and veggies cut down on swelling  abd gaining water weight.
