After my son was born I check my weight after n lost ovee 20lbs
I've gained 23 pounds so far and I'm 39wks on Friday. I admit though some fast food has been a part of that! And my downfall is a soda and some chocolate from time to time but I'm drinking water like crazy. Hope to lose at least half when he's born!!
My first I gained 40lbs. I swear within the first 3 days I had lost 25 of them!!
My pregnancy has been pretty normal and i've gained a lot! Baby weight for me is probably only 15 to 20 pounds.
With my first I had to have a diuretic for my blood pressure so by the time I left the hospital I had lost 38 lbs, with my second I lost 15 lbs, and with my last one I lost 12 lbs.
this is how it was broken down in my one pregnancy book
Baby: 7-8 1/2 pounds
Placenta: 1- 1/2 pounds
Uterus: 2 pounds
Amniotic fluid: 2 pounds
Breasts: 1 pound
Blood volume: 2 1/2 pounds
Fat: 5-8 pounds
Tissue fluid: 6 pounds
Total : 27- 31 1/2 pounds
Hopefully around 3 stone! Lol! Shame I know thats not true! I do know of someone whose placenta weighed roughly the same as her baby at 9lbs though so she probably lost around 20lbs instantly.
