how much does it all weigh??

I know the break down you can get on web pages of what the placenta weighs and what all of the excess water weight is after delivery, but after delivery was that number right for most? I feel like my boobs have already gained 3 pounds and they aren't even full of milk yet! And when does the water weight and extra blood take place, near the end of pregnancy? what did you lose by the time you left?

Yes it was. I gained nothing but the baby weight pretty much to the exact that was told ot me on the website, and I lost it all afterwards.. took a couple days to lose the extra water and blood weight, but yep... all baby.

My first child though.. thats a different story. Placenta doesnt weigh 90lbs  

Number was wrong for me - I had a 7lb 11oz baby and only lost 16 lbs having him. I had calculated I should have lost about 25 based on my high level of fluid.

What my Dr told me is that on average, 16 pounds of your weight gain is directly related to the baby (baby+placenta+blood volume+amniotic fluid). That's the approximate amount you should lose in the first week. If you're retaining water, you could lose a lot of extra weight that way. For me, I lost about 15 the first week. The rest of the fat I'd accumulated took me forever to lose though! At my last appointment my Dr also said I'd already put on weight due to increase in blood supply. The increase in supply is what helps your body grow so fast; it needs the extra flow to properly build. It will continue to increase as you get closer to your due date, but you've already got a good share of it running through your veins.

Ha ha! Sounds like me

i was 177 b4 i had my baby and im only 8 days PP and i now weight 169. i was all baby but still didnt lose much. im far from 148 where i was. lol

I lost 30 with my first before I even left the hospital but he was also over 9 pounds. Not sure if that makes a differance. With everything else
