weight gain in the 3rd trimester

Hi All you Mommies to Be
So, I am now 25 weeks and these babies have gone through a major growth spurt the past 3 weeks and I have gained almost 10 pds in this time!
Up until then, I was gaining about a pound a week - give or take. I did start off underweight and knew my body was catching up in the beginning.
My question now is: Does the weight gain level off at some point, are there others who also experienced ups and downs with their weight? Or will it only keep going up from here?
Just want to be prepared!
Many thanks
Carrie

 

Mine seems to have leveled off. I have only gained about 2 pounds in last 3-4 weeks...

 

they say it is supposed to level out. But I gained 2 lbs a week until the end!!

Although I've lost all that plus 20# so it can come right off!

 

I also had this growth spurt, which was great! Then I was gaining I think 2 lbs per week. But in the last trimester it is more difficult to gain weight because it more difficult to eat, your stomach gets full so quickly! I had slowed down to one lb per week I think after 28 weeks, but last week I didn't gain any weight :mellow: I have to admit I have not been eating much. So I think it will depend on your motivation and the special care you take in eating regularly, even if just small quantities.

 

You are probably having a growth spurt. My weight has leveled off. The bigger the babies get the less room you will have in your stomach. I have to make myself eat because I don't feel hungry. Don't worry about weight though. It helps the babies to be bigger the more you gain. So keep gaining while you can and read Dr. Luke's book.
