So I got this an email the other day when I turned 26 weeks and thought it was pretty interesting... check it out.
On average, during the pregnancy you will gain 35 pounds (15 kilos)-including those women who lose weight and those who gain 100 lbs (45 kilos)! Those extra pounds are not all in your belly. They are divided up approximately as follows:
- baby 7 ½ pounds (3400 grams)
- placenta and membranes 1 ½ pounds (650 grams)
- amniotic fluid 1 ¾ pounds (800 grams)
- uterus 2 ¼ pounds (1000 grams)
- extra blood 2 ¾ pounds (1250 grams)
- breasts 1 ¼ pounds (500 grams)
- extra fat supply 5 ¼ pounds (2400 grams)
- extra fluid 4 ½ pounds (2000 grams)
