what is the weight from?

in 2nd Trimester
So far I've gained 13 lbs. I'm still fitting into my pre preg clothes (they are starting to get tight though, at least in the belly), so I'm wondering what all the weight is? I know some is baby, some is water, some is placenta, what else? Probably a dumb question, but I'm curious what else the weight is. I can't remember.

    More than "some" is water ;)  When my BP spiked (I had pre-e with DS) and I had a ton of swelling my weight gain jumped a lot in just one week!  It was crazy!

    Extra blood, water, baby, boobs, and I wanna say something else too, I just read it last night cause it was in week 19 of your pregnancy week by week.. i'd just read it again but it's down in the living room and I'm already in bed :p

    I remember reading approx 7 pounds of the total weight is "maternal fat stores". I find that so depressing. blah.

    In the book: A Child Is Born, it says

    Approximate weight gain by the end of pregnancy attributable to:

    Baby 7.5 lbs, Placenta 1.5 lbs, Amnitotic Fluid 2.2 lbs, Uterine Lining 2.2 lbs, Breast Size 2.2 lbs, Mothers circulatory system 3 lbs, increased fluid in mothers tissue 3.3 lbs, mothers lipid depots 6.6 lbs,

    this is their estimate... everyone is different as is each pregnancy. Dont stress gaining weight! If your doctor feels there is a problem, Im sure they will tell you. : )

    This! I had gestational edema w/ DD. I had only gained 30'ish pounds up til week 36, then the edema kicked in. Grand total of weight...55'ish lbs! I couldn't feel my feet. My ankles were HUGE. The day after I delivered I had lost over 35 pounds and could see my ankles again.

    Yeah, I don't get this.  I've actually lost weight, which I don't get since my breasts are definatley bigger as well as my baby bump and a few other parts.
