So yesterdays doc appointment I found out that my vaginal swab test came back possitive so now I will have to be on a iv when I go into labour.. When I had my ultrasound over a week ago my baby weighed just over 5.5lbs (already bigger then his daddy was at birth) i've gained 3lbs in the last week meaning I have gained a grand total of 27lbs!.. I feel like a fatty when I say i've gained almost 30lbs!....

What makes me soooooooooo incredibly happy is that I got my iron levels up!!! Woo hoo!!! So now I wont have to get a needle in the bum:) Smile

im on the low side of average.. But still.. I've saved me lil bum Smile

Sounds like we're in the same boat bridget. Gained each 54-55 lbs. And have 8 pounders already. Lol
my sister-in-law came over here today. She's 25 weeks and is still losing weight. The doctors think something may be wrong, so I guess we should considered ourselves lucky.
