Where Is The Pregnancy Weight Going?
It is normal for any pregnant woman to put on at least 10 to 14 kgs weight by the time she reaches the end of her term. The baby can hardly weight kgs when you deliver. In fact, the baby will not weigh anything more than 3 to 4 kgs. So where is the rest of the pregnancy weight going? Is the rest of your pregnancy weight gain going to remain with you after you deliver the baby? It is important to understand the breakup of how much weight you gain during pregnancy.
Only if you know where the pregnancy weight is going, can you understand whether your weight gain is on the track. Your pregnancy weight gain does not just go to the baby. It affects every part of your body. There are several changes in your body during pregnancy that lead to the weight gain.
Here is a breakup for you so that you know where your pregnancy weight gain is going.
Baby
Weight
You
baby
weighs
about
3
to
4
kgs
at
the
end
of
your
term.
So
much
weight
will
go
away
from
your
postnatal
weight
straight
away.
The
minimum
normal
weight
for
a
baby
is
2.7
kgs.
Anything
below
that
is
considered
underweight.
Amniotic
Fluid
Apart
from
the
baby,
the
water
that
the
baby
stays
in
also
weight
just
as
much
as
the
baby
itself.
There
are
minor
differences
but
usually
pregnant
women
have
2
to
3
kgs
of
water
in
their
uterus
when
they
deliver.
You
will
also
lose
this
weight
instantly.
Placenta
The
mass
of
blood
vessels
and
tubes
that
connects
the
baby
to
you
also
has
some
weight.
Your
placenta
can
also
gain
weight
up
to
1kg.
So
once
you
deliver
the
baby,
the
placenta
will
also
come
out
on
its
own.
Blood
Volume
Now,
here
are
some
hidden
attributes
of
your
pregnancy
weight
gain.
Your
blood
volume
doubles
in
the
second
trimester
so
that
you
can
provide
enough
nutrition
and
oxygenated
blood
to
the
growing
baby.
This
contributes
to
much
of
your
weight
gain.
Enlarged
Uterus
The
uterus
is
enlarged
to
more
than
10
times
of
its
size
and
thus,
there
is
mass
of
extra
tissues
here.
It
takes
at
least
6
weeks
for
the
uterus
to
come
back
to
its
normal
size.
You
will
not
be
losing
these
couple
of
extra
kilos
until
6
weeks.
Breast
Tissue
The
mammary
glands
develop
and
grow
over
a
period
of
time
during
your
pregnancy.
The
fuller
breast
you
now
have
will
also
contribute
to
your
prenatal
weight
gain.
Water
Retention
During
pregnancy,
your
body
retains
water
in
the
tissues
as
well.
This
water
usually
gets
released
in
the
form
of
urine
once
you
deliver
the
baby.
If
you
have
a
great
deal
of
water
retention
in
body
parts
such
as
swollen
legs,
hands
and
face,
then
you
could
lose
up
to
1
or
2
kgs
of
water
weight.
Apart from these places, the extra weight that remains is for beefing you up to support the weight of the baby. It also gives you a cushion for the months when you will be tirelessly breastfeeding your baby.
