Is it a lot of water?

Could be.

I heard >you should lose weight in the last month.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My total weight gain is now >26 pounds at 37 weeks.

Normal is to gain no weight hte first 12 weeks and then about 1 pound a week for the rest of the pregnancy. about 28 pounds total.
