Has anyone stopped gaining weight?

So I have become a little obsessed with my weight gain this pregnancy, I was eating relatively healthy, and gaining weight and what I think was an ok ish rate. I havent been trying to diet, I've just been actively looking after myself and got a bit keen with tracking my weight.
Although, in the last 5-6 weeks I havent gained weight. I've had the odd increase and decrease of small amounts but genrally around the same number... is this normal? Has anyone experienced this?
If anything since covid19 I've been eating more and comfort eating so surprised it's not bolted up.
I didnt weight myself in previous pregnancies so no idea if this is normal. Everywhere I read says 3rd trimester is biggest weight gain, yet I seemed to stop toward end of 2and trimester and gain it all in first and early 2nd?!

I lost weight during pregnancy. I ended up the same weight at the end that I was at the beginning (I was about 2 stones overweight to start). I didn’t try to lose weight I just wasn’t as into my normal foods, and towards the end I got fuller quicker because the baby was taking up all the space!

As long as you’re eating good foods and drinking plenty of fluids don’t worry about it.

I didn’t gain anything in my third trimester.

I ate like a pig in my first two trimesters though but was on my feet a lot in my third , feeling uncomfortable and full , couldn’t eat as much and in the end gained nothing . Bump was growing and measuring on track which is the most important thing .

Also I had gained 16 kilo in the first and second trimester so maybe my body was like THATS ENOUGH 😝

Yes, me! It’s really weird! I’ve gained 16lb since becoming pregnant. I really feel like I’ve been eating a lot more rubbish since lockdown - weekly takeaways that we don’t usually have and bread/chocolate that we don’t usually have, but the scales have been stuck for 6 weeks now! I’m also really slowing down when walking, so can’t be burning as many calories...

I’m week 28 and Bump is definitely expanding though! Very strange, glad it’s not just me!

@Nelbert19 phew glad it's not just me! I know I've gained plenty in the first part so overall my gain is ok but just thought it odd I had come to a stand still. Maybe it will bolt up in a week or so. I'm week 30 so maybe it's more common than I I thought as we arnt far apart in weeks!
My bump also seems to be expanding, so that's good just dont feel like I'm getting smaller anywhere else so confused where it's going 😂
