both my home and midwife use digital scales, but I am always 3 lbs heavier at the midwife. I always figure it is just because at home I weigh myself naked, first thing in the am before my shower. At the midwife's office I'm wearing clothes (including jeans) and shoes and I've usually had a full glass of water and maybe some coffee and toast at that point. I count my home weight as my 'real' one.

I totally went by my home scale for the same reasons - I weigh myself at home first thing in the morning, where my midwife appointments were late afternoon, after I had eaten/been drinking water all day.

My most recent appt was in the morning; the doctor's office used a non-digital scale, and I was surprised by the number, so as soon as I got home I weighed myself on the digital scale, and the number was 3 lbs lower, so needless to say I'll be sticking with my home scale

My digital is always give or take 2/3 lbs from my dr

My Dr.'s is always heavier. Definitely because of the clothes, but also because of all the water I've been chugging so I can actually pee in the stupid cup.

Also, something totally weird - I lose like 2-3 pounds overnight? No idea how! No extra bathroom breaks between when I weigh myself. So weird... I must sweat a lot while I'm sleeping? Haha (except I don't)

@swurlygurl: it's your body burning energy while you're asleep- you actually use a ton of calories sleeping. Also at night you have (presumably) a full tummy, and in the morning everything's digested.

I may be compulsive and weigh twice a day.

They use a manual scale at the doctors and they don't even wait for it to balance, they just slide it super quick and jot down what is probably some random number. I think my digital is more accurate. It always shows me weighing less than at the doctors office!
