It's normal.
yess

(keeps alot in)

the weight goes away
it flecuates from1-3 pounds
Yeah, that's normal. I usually gain from 5-7 pounds, it's just water retention, bloating. It goes away after you get your period.
It's just water weight. Try not to eat as much caffeine and sodium during this time and it should go down.
Sometimes its not that you put on weight, its that your bloated around the time your due.
In this case, it will go away.
Sometimes you can put on weight if you've just gone on the pill?
and also depends if you eat quite healthy food but then mix it up with a bit of takeaway. if its mostly take aways then maybe you need to cut down a little.
Hope this helps.
