sometimes you lose weight toward the end...if your doctor didn't seem concerned i would not worry i don't think it is because of drinking lots of water and going to the bathroom though

No, I highly doubt that you can lose weight just from going to the restroom a bunch. At the end of your pregnancy, some women tend to fluctuate in weight. One week you may weigh one amount, the next week you may weigh less, and the week after, you may weigh more than you did 2 weeks before. If you lose more than that, something may be wrong and you should really talk to your doctor.

My weight was up and down through the latter half of my pregnancy and I had a perfectly healthy, precious baby. As long as your little one is still growing and developing, I wouldn't worry about it. I know the anxiety in the last trimester can be agonizing but I'm sure you two will be fine. Best of luck!

Don't sweat it. Your doctor can tell you tomorrow if there are any problems, but most likely...it was water weight to begin with, and you just ate less salt yesterday...so you eliminated some of that excess water by going to the bathroom last night.

Your bathroom will become your favorite room while your pregnant. Don't stress over your weight.Just eat very healthy and no smoking.drugs,or booze.Plus see the doctor regular...I had one child 18 yrs ago and he is in college and doing great. I gained 50 pds and now I'm back to my normal weight. No stress marks either.So just do that and you'll be fine...Good luck and congrats.

maybe it was water retention . you do need an extra 300 calories a day now so maybe you wernt eating enough to maintain your weight as well as nourishing you and your baby.
wouldnt worry if the baby is fine.
look at it this way is 5lbs less to lose to get back to your pre preg weight.

As long as your uterus is measuring properly and baby's heartbeat is good...you are fine. Towards the end you can go up and down in weight due to swelling aka water weight. Ask your doc to be sure!
Best wishes!
