This is what it says in What To Expect:

Baby - 7 1/2 lbs
Placenta- 1 1/2 lbs
Aminotic Fluid- 2 pounds
Uterine Enlargement - 2 Pounds
Breast Tissue - 2 pounds
Blood Volume - 4 pounds
Fluids in Maternal tissue- 4 pounds
Maternal Fat stores - 7 pounds


That is if you gained 30 pounds. Approx weight. Hope it helps.
