Am 36 weeks pregnant i gained almost 40 pounds so far ...?

I am 38.5 weeks along and have gained 45 lbs. I went to my follow-up Monday and have lost 4 lbs. Usually weight gain at this point slows, stops, or like in my case you loose a few lbs. This does not mean you baby will loose weight. Now is not the time to start dieting or exercising to keep your weight under control. However, if you can walk 2 km's good for you. I am out of breath by the time I get to my car in the car park at the grocery store lol. All the best-
