She
is likely to add only one pound now because
she will get less nourishment from the
ageing placenta in the run-up to birth.
An essential part of her weight gain,
about one pound of it, is laid down as
covering fat which will help to keep her
warm. It will also make her more attractive
as her body becomes more chubby. Her face
fills out more as her cheeks fatten up.
She will soon take up her position for
birth.
