Weight

I have put on 15Kg this pregnancy, or 33lb. Quite a lot when you consider the average baby weighs around 8lb. Joanna now weighs 13.5Kg, so I'm effectively lugging around a toddler full time. No wonder it's such hard work.
I found these stats on the web:

• Baby = 7.5 - 8.5lbs

• Placenta = 1.5 - 2lbs


• Amniotic fluid = 2lbs


• Blood volume = 4lbs


• Womb muscle = 2 -2.5lbs


• Water = 4lbs


• Breast tissue = 2lbs


• Energy reserves (for labour) = 7lbs

That makes a total of 32 lb, so I'm only slightly above the average. Lets hope that extra weight isn't a huge baby!
