Your baby is a good weight so I would stop asking why and be happy about only gaining 10 pounds. I'm still working on losong the 50 I gained from my 7 month old.

If your doctor has not expressed any concerns to you, then you should be fine. The last month is when you really start to pack on the pounds. Again, if your doctor expressed no concern, then I would not worry about it. As long as the baby is growing that is what is important. A 6.8 lbs baby at 37 weeks is a good size. Your baby will probably weigh, if full term, close to 8. So you are looking pretty good. Good luck with everything.

I wouldnt worry, if the doctors arent. When I was pregnant with son, in 03 I only gained a TOTAL of 15lbs... and he was born at 34 weeks..a HEALTHY 6 pounds. If your concerned, ask docs, but I think if it were a issue ..they wouldve spoke up by now! Good Luck with Baby!
I also lost a few pounds before I gained, i think this is normal for some women.

The problem is that the baby is taking all your calories. Your actually losing weight almost as fast as baby is gaining it. You probably just never started eating for 2. Make sure your taking a vitamin supplement. You will prolly end up being on of the lucky ones that weigh about the same as before you were pregnant.

My first child was two weeks late (42 weeks) and I only gained 25 lbs. She was also almost 7 lbs.
You probably won't weigh less than you did before you got pregnant but you won't have to worry about losing much. As long as you are eating healthy I wouldn't worry.

I only gained 15 pounds while pregnant, and actually weighed less after I delivered than before. My doctor was totally fine with that, since I was a little overweight to begin with.
Oh, and my baby weighed 7lbs 10oz.

When I got pregnant I started eating way healthier and actually lost weight as long as the doctor says you and baby are healthy consider yourself lucky

That does seem awful low since your baby weights 6lbs 8 oz.
What does your doctor say about your low weight gain?
