Weight gain in weeks 33 to 40.

[Anonymous]

I was just wondering what the normal weight gain is in the last weeks of pregnancy - specifically weeks 33 to 40. My OB said that the baby is slightly big for 32 weeks and I'm concerned about gaining too much weight in the last weeks. According to the book what to expect, it says you should not gain weight at all during weeks 37 to 40. Is that right? I heard weight gain tends to be worst at the end. Thanks.

During the last weeks of pregnancy the baby is gaining about 1/2 lb a week

I would not worry about your specific weight gain - every one is so different. I would just continue to eat healthy and do what ever exercise you are comfortable with. (walking, yoga, swimming etc)
