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.
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?
-
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.
-
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.

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.

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.
-
@MapleMoose: same for me! I actually lost and then they told me to stop losing so I was able to hold her steady.
@Mrs. Champagne: I wouldn't worry too much either way!
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
My doctor said it's totally normal for your weight to remain the same or even go down a little in the final weeks. 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.
