A weight gain of 24-30 pounds is normal and recommended and this is what you should aim for. If you are eating nutritious food, your gain is not fat and most will be lost within 2-6 weeks after you give birth.

Here’s what a typical 24-pound gain might include:

Baby 7.5 pounds

Placenta 1.0 pounds

Amniotic fluid 2.0 pounds

Breast tissue 1.0 pounds

Uterus 2.5 pounds

Blood 3.5 pounds

Other fluid 2.75 pounds

Other 3.25 pounds
