Lost a pound???

[lilprairiemutt]

Went to my doctor appt today and I have actually lost a pound from two weeks ago. I have had a bad cold and haven't felt very good because of it, so I haven't eaten as much simply because until the biscuits and gavy thread, nothing sounded good or appealed to me. My doctor didn't seem overly worried about it, but it worries me a bit. I have never lost weight in the thrid trimester. He said the baby seems to be growing fine, the heart beat is good and all. But still, shouldn't I be gaining weight?

well i'm not really an expert in these cases... but it happens sometimes and well i think it's pretty obvious that you're not going to gain weight from biscuits and gavy thread... you're apetite will come back and then it's time to gain some weight.

The third trimester i don't think you gain as quickly. If you haven't been eating much, the baby is taking most of your nutrients. Plus a pound isn't much. Water weight, hair, clothes, altitude, scale, etc. can all affect it slightly.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about water weight and such. I am at 32 weeks and my youngest came at 34 weeks, so every little thing makes me worry. I am trying to do everything I can to make sure this pregnancy goes like its suppose to.
