Birth weight genetics

alexx
I've read that your birth weight will contribute to the size of your baby's birth weight. that they're typically close in weight to each other. (just from the moms side). this might be a dumb question but I was 6lbs 14oz, but my mother was (before pregnancy) 95 pounds and 5 feet tall. I'm 5'5" and 130 pounds. because I'm bigger than her, am I more likely to have a larger baby? Note* I was her first born and I'm referring to my first born.
