35 weeks and losing weight?

So at my appt last week I had lost 5 lbs. This week I lost 3 lbs. My dr said it is ok if I don't gain weight, but that I shouldn't be losing weight. She asked if I ate and I said yes. But I do realize that at dinnertime I get full very very easily. And don't eat much then, but I eat a lot through out the day.

Any ideas?

Should I be really concerned?

i lost weight in between 36-39 weeks, i think it was a pound each week, because i just couldn't fit any food in anymore. every little thing gave me heartburn and eating was just painful and unpleasant. the doc told me to eat some ice cream every night, although he kinda said it tongue-in-cheek and didn't truly seem too concerned about it.

sounds like you've lost a greater amount, though. if the baby is still growing i don't think i would worry too much about it, but i would still talk to your OB.

i lost some weight or didnt gain any the last weeks... i read in what to expect, that this is normal... but ask your OB if youre concerned though..
