Throughout my pregnancy I have been nervous, because I gained a lot of weight pretty quickly. From my fifth to sixth months I gained 10 lbs. alone which was double what my Dr. had recommended should be gained within 1 month.By the 28th week I had gained 27lbs which I thought was a lot. Well, now I'm 31 weeks, and I have actually lost 1 pound since the 28th week so that my weight gain is now 26. The doctor didn't seem at all concerned, she said just as long as I don't keep losing weight. Just seems weird did anyone else have weight loss or plateau during the third trimester?

Lol, nope! But as long as your doctor's not worried I'm sure it's fine.

My OB told me that some women do lose weight towards the end of the pregnancy

I don't think it's abnormal. My multiples books recommend gaining more weight at the beginning so that you have reserves for the third trimester when it is more difficult to eat (because your stomach is smooshed) and when it's harder to keep up with the babies dietary needs because they're taking so much from you. They say that even though the scale might still increase slowly because of the babies growth, your arms and legs might actually measure smaller (so it's almost like losing weight!)

that's kind of what it seems like is happening to me, because I just can't eat full servings anymore without being super uncomfortably full!
