Losing weight in the 3rd trimester

I just got back from my dr appt and I lost 3 lbs since my last appt 2.5 weeks ago.
Is that normal? I am 33w2d.

Re: Losing weight in the 3rd trimester

I lost 2lbs at my 36 week apt, I have to say it had to be from all that heat and my baby shower being at my house - I helped clean up and was running ragged like a dog ! Dr. said normal during last trimester -

I think it was b/c of my physical activity (nesting too) b/c I haven't lost any more since that app't I've gained, but Dr. did say it was normal, so don't worry about it !

I am going to see what happens tomorrow at my regular checkup... but I wasn't feeling well last week and they had me come in to see the doctor ... , and when they weighed me they said I'd lost 2 pounds since my last visit 3 wks prior I was shocked too, since I have still been eating the same way -- but I then realized I've also been going to the bathroom more often as well (I'm on iron supps 3x a day and they are making me go a LOT - sorry TMI )

Despite my own issues the nurse did say that they see a lot of ladies stay the same with their weight or even lose a few pounds in the 3rd trimester, and that it wasn't unusual..

thanks!
She mentioned it to me and said it could be that I wasn't retaining water as much since the temperature dropped. I was prepared to have gained weight since my clothes felt tighter. Good to know it is normal though.

Yes, it's pretty normal from what I recall my ob said when I lost weight with Lauren in the 3rd. they say you slow down at that point and actually either not gain or loose.
