Babies are literally floating in a pool of fluid the entire time they're developing in the womb. It's not like they're packed into a sausage casing with no room to move. This is why women will gain 90 lbs during pregnancy only to spit out a 5 lb baby.
They aren't in an 85lb pool of liquid. They are for the most part packed in there. That's why C-sections are fairly common. Some of them move and it's not easy to shift them into place.
A woman gains a lot of weight to have extra nutrients since she and the baby need them.
