39 weeks and weight question

I am 39wks today. My weight has been the same for about the past 6wks. I have asked my OB about this many times and she said that mainly she focuses on overall weight gain and mine is fine (38lbs)

My fundal height was on the average a week ahead until a few weeks ago--where I actually went in for a two week visit and it had stayed the same. The next week it went up 1cm. (that was my 37wk 5d visit and it measured 37)

I am concerned about not gaining any weight in the past 6wks. I have not changed my eating habits at all. The only thing is about 6 weeks ago I started taking Chromagen (iron supplement) for iron def. could that be related?

should I be concerned? I don't think she will do another u/s to measure the baby since she isn't concerned.

My weight gain prior to that was on the average 1 lb a week a couple times it was more...

any help appreciated. Kathy
