Anybody lose weight in thier 7th month? Updated

I went to dr today for my 3 week check up and I lost a lb. Is that ok?

I should have asked but we were going over so much stuff like the flu shot, my sugar levels and cord blood bank I forgot to ask.

Plus I was such the chicken b/c I had to get a shot Im RH- so I was concentrating on that. ouchy it stings!!!

I hope its normal to start losing weight this far along?


Ok so I went to the nutritionist over at winthrop today and found out NO its NOT a good thing to lose weight in the 3rd trimester and I lost 2 lbs, and are now watching to make sure I dont have ketones in my urine. So far I do not. ugh Im not trying to lose weight either and they thought I was b/c I have only gained 26 lbs ( I thought 27) according to them and they dont want me to lose anymore. I told them believe me prior to getting gestational diabetes I ate like a SLOB- what I wanted when I wanted and servings of at least 2 to 3- all pasta, rice, potatoes all heavy fatty carbs, hey I was hungry.
thank you all for responding.

Janice you said you lost weight and your dr was happy, did he say anything to you about how its not good in the 3rd trimester to lose weight? that its not good for the baby, no dieting, and about ketones? Just curious, if the info going around the dr's about this is the same, thanks.

hey! 7 months here, last week at my appt. I had lost a few pounds. The dr was estatic.

Oh ok good. I am not trying to lose weight and thought it was odd.

Im not exercising, cut out a lot of carbs but still eating a lot.

Hmmm I guess its normal and I should stop worrying.

thanks for responding

so total I have gained is 27 lbs.

Re: Anybody lose weight in thier 7th month?

I wouldn't worry about it.
once i started watching my diet for the GD I lost a pound and I don't gain AS much at a time.

Re: Anybody lose weight in thier 7th month?

i wouldn't worry, 1 lb could be the difference between having a bottle of water or going to the bathroom before you went to the doctor or just a difference in the time of day that you went to the doctor.

bumping to thank everyone and for Janice

Re: Anybody lose weight in thier 7th month? Updated

hey Jan!

I had gained over 40 lbs. So the dr was super concerned that I would put 20 more on before giving birth. I don't share his concern, but I did start walking...I think that's how I lost. I am still eating, just not as much white stuff, mainly grains. But yeah, Dr was really happy that I lost. I stopped weighing myself, and have to be seen every 2 weeks, so I take it with a grain of salt. Walking can't hurt..I am in no way trying to lose, just don't want to gain 2 lbs a week like I had been.

I will bring it up to the dr again though.
