Losing wieght before labor??? Any truth to that?

[waiting4allie]

So I just asked this same question on the thrid trimester but I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask here also. Ive lost 2 lbs sinces my last weeks appointemnt. Every week since 20 weeks I have gained about 2-3 lbs a week. I have been eating the same or just as much so its not that for sure. I have heard some women say that you will lose 2-3 lbs a few days before labor. How ture is this? Anyone know? Ive seen it on a few websites too.

I definitely lost a couple of pounds in the week before I went into labour, after gaining 1-3 pounds a week from the second trimester on. All of the fluid that had built up started to drain out of me, and I noticed a difference in how (less) swollen my feet and ankles were. Apparently it is quite normal to lose a bit, but not more than a couple of pounds in total.

Didnt lose weight but stopped gaining with my first. Still waiting on #1 but I am 40+3 and didn't gain any weight this week. Not as hungry... nit feeling great.
