I am 22 weeks pregnant and my weight will fluctuate 5 lbs in one day. I weigh myself the same time everyday so it is not a difference in the time of day. Some days I will gain 5lbs, then I will loose it or most of it the next day. Should I be concerned about this massive fluctuation of my weight?

The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning, naked. It sounds a bit bizarre to me. A sudden increase in weight gain can be a cause for concern, but if you are losing it the next day....I don't know what to tell you, this never happened to me. Is there a problem with your scale by chance? Are you showing any signs of fluid retention such as swelling in your feet, hands, face? I don't know what to say but I would just bring it to your doc's attention at your next appointment or sooner if you are quite concerned.

Yeah, every woman who has ever been pregnant. You are supposed to gain weight. You are growing a BABY inside you. Try eating the same amount of calories everyday.

it fluctuates but not as erratic as you are.... in fact its not normal if that is the case. we should at least be gaining 1 lb per week only, to be sure, consult your doctor...

Yes you should watch your salt intake. It will cause you to retain water. Keep a close watch on your blood pressure also.
