[quote=Anonymous]Placenta, amniotic fluid, increased blood and fluid levels, baby, extra fat. Not all babies weigh the same, not all women have the same amount of blood or tendency to lay on fat stores, etc. Plus, your metabolism changes. It's not like every extra calorie you eat turns into baby or fat or something; some of it is burned to produce the energy that you need to pump the extra blood, or transport the extra nutrients to the baby. Your body may also be more likely to store extra calories to prepare for nursing. It's not a simple process, so it's not surprising that input and output don't match up perfectly. [/quote]
