Why do some women not gain extra weight after pregnancy?

Answer 1

* You gain weight in your breasts about 2-3 pounds

* Your blood increases causing about 4 pounds of weight gain * The baby will probably weigh anywhere from 6-10 pounds * The placenta weighs about 1.5-3 pounds * The amniotic fluid weighs about 2 pounds * Your uterus will increase causing up to 5 extra pounds * Your body may also store fat for delivery and breast feeding (weight will vary)

Answer 2

Pregnant women gain

1. weight of the baby (~ 7.3 lbs on average)

2. weight of the placenta (~ 3 lbs)

3. weight of the amniotic fluid (~2.5 lbs)

4. weight of the blood volume (increases ~50%, or about 5.5 lbs)

5. weight of the uterus (grows to 15 times its usual size/weight, gaining ~7 lbs)

6. weight of abdominal muscles that must grow to surround the larger belly (~5 lbs)

7. weight of skin and connective tissue that had to grow around the larger belly (~2 lbs)

8. weight of enlarged breasts (approx 2-3 lbs)

Thus with no increased fat at all, a woman will gain 34 to 35 lbs during pregnancy.

At birth only the weight of the amniotic fluid, placenta, baby and some blood from the uterus will be shed immediately, so expect to lose about 12-13 lbs right away.

Over the next six weeks the extra blood volume will reduce and the uterus will slowly return to normal size, so expect another 12 pounds to disappear during this 6 week period.

The enlarged abdominal muscle, skin and connective tissue generally takes longer to return to normal, so don't expect to lose those ~7 lbs (or see your belly flatten to normal again) for several more months.

Finally, the enlarged breasts will remain so for as long as nursing continues.
