weight loss worry

[summermum]

This may seem like a silly problem but does anyone know if it is healthy to start losing weight in mid/late pregnancy. I would like to stress I am not trying to lose weight, it is just happening. Through this whole pregnancy (3rd one) i have had a very slow weight gain which has concerned me ( and no- one else). I am 28 weeks and have put on 13 1/2lbs altogether now, however int he last few days I have lost 1 1/2lbs, not sure how as I eat normally allthough not excessively. Should I be concerned or just consider myself extrememly lucky. All is well the baby, I was at midwife last week and heartbeat was fine and she is kicking away every day and fundal height seemed to measure okay, however at 24 weeks I was taken into hospital with suspected prem labour, but it was nothing except i lost a small part of the plug. The week late I was taken in with bad bright red bleeding and a scan showed this to be from a low lying placenta (5cms from opening of cervix) so not severe yet as it is not blocking birth canal. hope someone can help, sorry for being long winded

Haven't got any advice really but wanted to bump for you.

I don't think 1 and 1/2 lbsa is anything to worry about because you can lose that in a day and then tomorrow when you weigh yourself you could have put on 2lbs iywim

thanks sandyballs, you would think this being number 3 I would breeze thro' with no worries, but after 2 hospital scares I am dead paranoid and the slightest silly thing seems to worry me now, i love the nick name by the way
