The weight of the child and amniotic fluid.

According to the above data, if your pre-pregnancy height is 1.60m and your weight is 50kg, and your post-pregnancy weight is increased by 14kg, then after giving birth, your baby, amniotic fluid and placenta will take away 5.05kg, leaving about 9kg (8.95) on your body.

Changes of uterus

Pregnancy has changed your body. In order to adapt to the development of the fetus, your body has undergone a series of changes. Among them, the change of uterus is the most significant. Before pregnancy, the uterus was only as big as a small pear and weighed 50 grams. By the time of full-term pregnancy, the weight of the uterus is about1000g, which is 20 times higher, and can accommodate 5000ml of fetus, amniotic fluid and other contents. Imagine that the uterus expands like a balloon, and it takes at least 3-6 months to return to its original size.
