Appointment

I had an appointment yesterday. I lost four pounds. I’ve only gained 8 pounds so far this pregnancy. I didn’t mention it because when I have before the doctor was never concerned about it, baby is growing great. Well I just looked back on my visit summary and the nurse who took my weight put I gained a pound. Why the heck would she do that? I’m wondering now if I should bring up the weight to my doctor next week, or just see where I’m at. I did mention to doctor now that baby is no longer breech I’m going to the bathroom 5 times a day (#2). She said that’s normal. I’m assuming that is contributing to the weight loss. But again I don’t want to be assuming lol.

I only gained 12 lbs throughout this pregnancy and my doctor said its also okay. I think as long as youre measuring well you don't need to worry. I would lose/gain weight inconsistently because some weeks I had bad heartburn or felt nauseous so I couldn't hold much food down, and some weeks were good.
Anyways, I hope everything evens our for you as you approach the delivery date! 💓

I lost 23 pounds this pregnancy in the first trimester and ended up gaining it all back and an extra 30 pounds currently. Doctor is more worried about my rapid weight gain than my weight loss.
