If you had your baby already, did you notice a weight loss before?

[Asher]

I know it's one of the "common" symptoms before going in to labor. I don't remember with my others if I did or not.

I did notice this morning that I've lost 3lbs in the past few days, despite eating like a flipping pig.

I didn't with DD, but I was retaining water like a swimming pool. This time, I know that I've lost weight b/c NONE of my pants fit. DD and I went to the mall yesterday to buy my mom a Mother's Day gift and I spent the whole time pulling up my pants! So we'll see what happens. I'm only 36 weeks and 3 days so I don't anticipate going anytime soon.

The day before my water broke and I had Emma, I lost 3 pounds.

*raises eyebrow*

Not to get your hopes up, but...

[Asher]

Hopes are totally not up, believe me. I've never had a babe born before it's due date. (Earliest was 5 days overdue.) I do have a midwife appt. tomorrow, though and IF he is heads down again, DH and I are trying to decide if I should ask for an internal to see if anything is changing in there. I REALLY REALLY do not want to risk him going breech again if he's heads down right now. (Though gut feeling is that he's still breech again.)

I just thought it was *odd* since I've been an absolute pig.

I lost about three pounds before my son was born. If that helps. This time, I haven't lost anything yet!!! WAHHHHH

[Asher]

I was sitting here on the couch and making comments to DH about his very active movements tonight, he just kicked my bladder and gave me a scare! Was sure for a second that it was my water, BUT nothing else since then so pretty sure it was just my bladder. Little stinker!

[lil_miss_understood]

Haven't had this one yet and don't remember from the other 2, but my last mw appointment (Thursday) I was down 2 pounds from the week before. And my mw figures she'll be seeing me soon (outside of the office).

[Asher]

Ate like even more of a pig yesterday and still down to the same weight (1lb over prepreg weight).

No more signs of anything last night in terms of water so he must have kicked me good in the bladder. Did have cramping and light contrax all night so going to have them check me this morning when I go to the MW just to make sure it wasn't my water last night. No clue what position bub is in right now, he was moving so much last night and his position feels WEIRD right now.

I know I lost weight at the end, but I don't remember how close to labour it happened. I haven't weighed myself this time.

[russianthistle]

Last week, I lost two pounds from the week before and here I still sit. The baby is bound to come out, but.............

I don't remember last time..........................

[mamasurprised]

I ate A LOT of ice cream in the last week and lost a pound.

Getting ready to get some more right now.

[Asher]

Midwife says it "could be a good sign of labor". I know, I know, nothing definite, they can't tell me anything else than that, but still! On the bright side, I'm going to continue pigging out with my bad self when I'm hungry if it's not going to make a darn bit of difference!

[CookAMH]

I didn't. However, the morning I would have weighed myself at home for my appt. that day, my water broke, so I don't know if I went down from the previous week. Up till the week before, I was still gaining 2 lbs a week.
