One reason is water retention could have pushed your weight up in earlier weeks and then can fluctuate a lot afterwards. Then for reasons the other bees mentioned already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1417266 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:58:14 +0000 mamimami 1417266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly gained anything and then went into labor at week 38, so the weight gain wasn't as catastrophic as I'd feared. I think it all depends on swelling. Some people really puff up at the end, but it's all water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1417259 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:57:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 1417259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained only my last week which was me retaining water, but I was so full I ate very small meals because I was so uncomfortable and felt very full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1417182 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:37:53 +0000 mrsjyw 1417182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I lost weight in the last few weeks! I put on the bulk of my weight in first and second trim. DS was still 8.5 lbs! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1417048 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:55:13 +0000 Greentea 1417048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: same for me! I actually lost and then they told me to stop losing so I was able to hold her steady.</p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: I wouldn't worry too much either way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1417038 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:51:08 +0000 MapleMoose 1417038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up losing a little weight. Probably due to the raging heartburn and decreased stomach capacity plus it was summer and I don't eat as much in the heat anyways. But I gained almost all my weight in the second trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1417017 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:41:20 +0000 artsyfartsy 1417017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gained about 60 pounds so far this pregnancy. A LOT. But since 35 weeks I bounce back between 188 and 187. Never gained any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1416987 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:28:33 +0000 bookwormmama 1416987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought people gained a pound or so a week at the end too! Although I have been at about the same weight for several weeks now (35+2) so maybe the whole not being able to eat a lot right now is keeping my weight gain down now. I have gained in the range your app listed, so maybe it will stick around that number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1416937 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:05:23 +0000 bushelandapeck 1416937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained right up until week 40, but at a slower pace because it was harder to eat a lot without feeling uncomfortable. I think I probably gained 2-3 lbs the last few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-weight-gain-in-final-weeks-of-pregnancy#post-1416930 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:03:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1416930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 weeks pregnant. My app this week says that I've probably gained 25-35lbs at this point, and I shouldn't gain any more.</p> <p>I always thought the last few weeks I'd put on a pound a week or so... did you gain any in the final weeks? </p>
