weight gain

I have not changed size anywhere in my body except my baby bump and breast. I still wear all my prepregnancy clothes i just wear a bella band with my pants which i can still button i just dont want anything to be too binding on the baby. All clothes fit the exact same none are tight in any way. But i have gained 12 lbs. I am 21 weeks. Where is all that weight? Do my belly and breast really weigh that much?

Im 37 weeks and gained 27lb! The baby, waters, placenta, extra blood etc all make up quite abit of the weight you gain.
