37 Weeks Pregnant

By week 37, most mamas won’t gain much more weight, as you're losing amniotic fluid, and baby’s growth is slowing down.
I remember not gaining a pound for the last month and being concerned, but my midwife said I was all good, measuring right on track, and doing great. I still don’t understand how it was possible for my belly to get BIGGER and not gain weight, but I’ll take it.
All told, I gained about 40 pounds with my first child and 35 with the second. If you’re gaining a little more than that, don't be concerned, as every body is different in how it responds to pregnancy. My sister-in-law, who is slim but tall, gained a whopping 60 pounds with her first child. And she bounced back to her pre-baby weight pretty quickly. So don’t worry if you’re measuring a little differently than the averages. Your body knows what it's doing!
