These are GENERAL (I cannot stress this word enough lol obviously weight gain is different for everyone) numbers but I thought it might help some of you pregnant ladies to know exactly why you're gaining the weight your gaining :) this helped me cope with the uptick of the scale when I was preggo.

(From the AMA)

7 1/2 lbs baby

1 1/2 lbs placenta

4 lbs increased fluid

2 lbs uterus

2 lbs breast tissue (ug. I miss you, pretty bras)

4 lbs increased blood volume

7 lbs maternal stores of fat, protein and other nutrients

2 lbs amniotic fluid

Total: 30 pounds
