I found this great article (maybe from Parents magazine maybe?) about what the extra weight actually is when you're getting ready to deliver:
Breast Tissue = 1-2 lbs
Baby = 6-8 lbs
Uterus = 2 lbs
Placenta = 1.5 lbs
Amniotic Fluid = 2 lbs
Blood Volume = 4 lbs
Stored Fat = 4 lbs
Fluid Retention = 4 lbs
Not one mention of Nutella or kettle cooked potato chips. See, I told you.
