Do you always gain weight while you are pregnant?

Answer 1

Yes! And you should! If you don't gain weight, you will put your baby at a very high risk of complications during birth and after birth (and through out his/her entire life). You should gain at least between 23-35 pounds during pregnancy. Here's about how you will gain your weight: Baby-8 pounds Placenta - 2-3 pounds Amniotic fluid- 2-3 pounds Breast tissue- 2-3 pounds Blood supply- 4 pounds Fat stores for delivery and breastfeeding- 5-9 pounds Uterus increase- 2-5 pounds Total- 25 to 35 pounds For more information, read the related links below.
