Lost 2kg weight in one week (34 weeks preg)

So i have lost 2 kg since Saturday when i weighed myself on the same scales im 35 weeks tommorow. There is nothing wrong with the scales because i jumped on the ones at the shopping centre while i was there to make sure the ones i have were correct. My weight was accurate on Saturday because my weight had climbed 500g since the week prior.

Is it normal to lose some weight in the last few weeks rather than gain ?

Have you had much swelling/fluid retention that has gone down lately? At about 30 weeks I lost about 5kg which was all fluid! I had been put on bed rest and so my swelling went right down...it was amazing.

Yeah, it's normal. Changes in fluid retention, bowl movements, decrease in appetite (or just feeling full earlier because there's no room!).

Unless you're worried about bub for another reason I'd just think of it as a blessing
