No weight gain at 36 week check up ???

36 weeks and 5 days yesterday and had my 36 week drs appt. I stepped on the scale to see the same numbers I had the  appt (2 weeks) prior. Ive still been dealing with some late pregnancy morning sickness but Ive figured out ways to deal with it. At my 34 week check up my son was measuring big 6lbs 8oz and Ive been eating really good for the last two weeks, why no weight gain?? I know my husband has an insane metabolism ( it can be 65 degrees in my house and he sweats in his sleep due to it). Baby's heart beat is great at 125bpm and movement has been great. Could baby have a high metabolism like his father or maybe I'm losing weight ( im considered obese by the bmi calculator) at the rate hes gaining it?? I still am working at a physically demanding job a few days a week so Im staying active... Dr didnt seem concerned yesterday but its concerning me!

That's exactly happening with me and I'm 35 weeks today, u shouldn't really worry about it, as long your baby gains and grows in a consistent manner you should be fine. Your baby will take nutrients from you regardless...oh by the way my 2nd daughter was born at 36.5 weeks and shes absolutely fine. :-) hope you feel much more relaxed now.

Don't dwell on it. I haven't changed in the past month. I eat very well. Your body's just takin the nutrients it needs and spittin the rest out. But don't stress about it. Be lucky cause the last 4 wks your supposed to gain the most. Not bad if you don't but its typical. I gained 60 with my first and only 35 with this one. I'm 38 wks
