I had read that losing the baby weight was really easy. Well, that didn’t happen for me. Seeing all the celebreties lose all their baby weight within a couple weeks can be discouraging. They have access to a personal chef, and a trainer so of course they are going to look great soon after the birth of their babies. And yes, there are women in the real world you can lose the weight quickly, but for women like me, it can be a challenge. According to most experts, the average weight gain is between twenty-five and thirty-five pounds. If you are overweight, it is suggested to gain between fifteen and twenty-five pounds. Underweight women should gain between twenty-eight and fourty pounds. In a typical pregnancy, the weight gain during pregnancy consists of the following:• baby-6 to 8 pounds• placenta-1.5 pounds• increased fluid volume-2 to 3 pounds• uterus-2 pounds• increased storage of maternal fats, proteins, and other nutrients-4 to 6 pounds• breast enlargement-1 to 2 pounds• blood volume-3 to 4 pounds• amniotic fluid-2 pounds
