I think every doctor is different. Mine ask me what I "normally" weigh... and they document it... but honestly the first couple weeks aren't that important anyway. MANY women actually lose weight in thier first trimester from morning sickness. The doctors will usually see you around the 9 week mark for your first appointment anyway, and generally not much weight pertaining to the baby will have actually been gained at this point. Your pre-pregnancy weight and your 9 week pregnancy weight should be pretty close, unless you went out and started "eating for two" the second you found out your were pregnant!

It's still normal. OB's don't even look at the weight that closely. They look at the weight overall. And, because you're so late in the game - it could be a few things. First of all, baby is gaining weight daily now, getting ready for birth. Secondly, it could be water gain. Also, you may be just hungry. Don't worry so much about the weight gain. Concentrate on continuing to eat healthy - and make sure that you're drinking plenty of water. You surely don't want to go into labor dehydrated!

you only gain so mean PBS. I think its from the weight you start out with unless you have some thing else wrong if you gain to much water.

Doctors shouldn't care about your weight, unless you are very overweight or very underweight, as it is no longer seen as an indicator of how the baby is growing.

Probably the first weight they documented because they have no way of being sure that what you say is true. Your scale at home could be completely wrong for all they know.

my doctor took the weight they weighed me at. Though they did ask what my weight was before.

I have no idea. You would have to ask the doctor...or if you have a medical chart from another Doc that could be compared?

yes, the basis of your weight gain will be based on the initial weight when they weigh you
