Professional opinion is that an average weight gain of 11.5kg by the time of the birth is ideal. The weight gain in an averaged-sized woman is about 11 – 15 kg during pregnancy.
A sample of the average weight distribution is:
Baby = 3.3kg
Muscle layer of womb (uterus) = 1kg
Placenta = 700g
Breasts = 400g
Blood volume = 1.3kg
Amniotic fluid = 800g
Retained water = 1.5kg
Fat = 2.5kg
My overall weight gain was 11.9kg! Well, not bad… Haha! At least I fall within the average range.
After the birth of baby Sarah, and a few days after that, I lost 6.6kg (that is… IF my weighing machine doesn’t fool me!), which means 5.3kg is still somewhere inside me! The 2.5kg of fats is definitely included in there! *aaaarrrrggggghhhh*
Time to get fit and slim! :o)

It'll come when you start taking care of baby Sarah all on your own - day and night. :) Breastfeeding helps too.
hahahaha...thats rite. losing weight will come naturally with sleepless night, breast feeding n later get back to work.
