Eating and not gaining weight

So I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and i have only gained 5 pounds during pregnancy. (Im not complaining) I am overweight so i was told that i shouldnt gain to much weight but i feel like all i do is eat and im getting bigger but i never gain weight. Does this mean it could all be going to my baby and hes going to be huge?

Haha girl you are so welcome! Which Im assuming all the weight I've gained is baby..you really can't even tell I'm pregnant..but hey I'm OK with not gaining alot of weight ;) at least we both know all the weight we have gained will fall right off after our littles are born

I'm 38 weeks by the way..we don't gain as much weight because our bodies already have everything our baby needs that's how my doctor put it

Doesn't mean your baby will be huge :) I'm over weight to and Ive gained exactly 6-7 pounds and I eat alot also but I eat healthy and I've cut out junk food..at my 35 week appointment my son was estimated to be around 5 pounds...and the 6-7 pounds I've gained is just all baby
