have lost over 1kg in last week, between 37-38 weeks, please advise anyone

[misdee]

i just stepped on the scales as they are always out. my weight gain has been minimal anyway. but the numbers have gone down. just over 1kg lost in the last week. am 38 weeks tomorrow. i havent been sickm have been eating normally. surely the numbers should be going up, not down?

i actually don't think so - same thing happened to me! i asked my mum, who is a GP. she said, that in the olden days (!), when PG women were weighed every week, she would nearly always observe a couple lbs loss at this stage - a reliable indicator that labour is not far off. so pack your bag!

oh really! fab!

i was going to up the chocolate intake tonight if there was an issue

misdee, have the chocolate anyway!!

hehehe. like i need telling twice!

blimey im not losing any! Just getting heavier and heavier!! Hope im not doomed to go over! bring on the chocolate anyway!!

This has happened to me too, quite normal, and it also says this in my pregnancy book as well.
