How much weight should you gain during pregnancy?

July 9, 2013

It was pretty shocking stepping on the scale this last time just because I have never weighed this much before in my life.  And I know I shouldn’t stress about it, because it would be very bad if I wasn’t gaining weight but it doesn’t make the shock any less shocking 🙂  I was venting to my mom the other day saying how much I resembled a house and she looked at me with a smile and said, “you’re not a house, you’re pregnant! It’s beautiful!” ahhh mom, thanks for the words of encouragement but it has been a hard process every time I step on the scale at home and the doctor.  So what is “normal weight” to gain during pregnancy? hopefully this helps….

I pulled this from Web MD:

Where Does the Extra Weight Go During Pregnancy?

  • Baby: 8 pounds
  • Placenta: 2-3 pounds
  • Amniotic fluid: 2-3 pounds
  • Breast tissue: 2-3 pounds
  • Blood supply: 4 pounds
  • Stored fat for delivery and breastfeeding: 5-9 pounds
  • Larger uterus: 2-5 pounds
  • Total: 25-35 pounds
