Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Here is an approximate of how the weight stacks up that you gain during pregnancy:

Weight of baby	38%
Weight of placenta	9%
Weight of amniotic fluid	11%
Increase in weight of uterus and breasts	20%
Increase in weight of blood	22%
Total weight gain	100%

Here is how you gain it:

0-12 weeks	0%
12-20 weeks	25%
20-30 weeks	50%
30-36 weeks	25%

Using this chart as a guide, you can assume that if you are 30 weeks pregnant, the weight you have gained since the beginning of your pregnancy will be about 75% of your total weight gain. Don't hate us for providing you with this useless and possibly inflammatory information. You of course are the exception to this chart!!!
