[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the baby and baby-related accessories are not fat, but they do weigh and they need calories in order to be created and supported. The baby ends up weighing between 6-9 lbs. Plancenta is another lb or two. Increased blood volume adds a couple of lbs, etc etc etc.[/quote] All of these things above plus the extra calories is what makes up the weight gain. Technically...very little of that should be coming from food because its about 300 to 500 extra colories a day. Thats why I dont get the whole I gained 50+ lbs thing because no where does it say to start eating out of control or to eat for "two." I know everyone's bodies are different but I am 5'1 and to gain anything like 50 lbs is an extra person on me and I dont see how I could do that without eating out of control and I would feel horrible.[/quote]
