Question about babys ?

Question

My friend says babys who are 9 pounds are chunky bc what the mom ate for 9 months .. When on the other hand she said moms who eat healthy , exercise & remain from sweets for 9 months have tiny babys (6-7 pounds ) is that true? I always thought it was based on genetics??

Answer

definitely not true. I'm 20 weeks with my first baby and he's measuring a week ahead in length and weight. I myself have only gained 3 lbs and eat nothing but protein, veggies, and fruits.  we know we'll have a big baby but it's genetics since we have tall men in both our families.

Answer

Not true...genetics plays the largest role in the size of an infant at birth...of course food and lifestyle play their part, particularly if you are prone to gestational diabetes which can lead to large babies, but genetics or your tendency to have big babies really dictates the size of an infant at birth.

Answer

I pigged out my whole pregnancy! Junk food and sweets. Not proud of it but that's what I did. Baby was born a healthy & tiny 7lb 5oz. But I have to say he loves to eat!! He's getting chubby really quick 😊

Answer

Not true, with my first she was 6 lbs 15 oz but I ate soooo much during my pregnancy I gained 70lbs 😳😳

Answer

Not true... My first and fourth were 7 lbs my second was 8lbs my third was 4lbs ( didn't eat very healthy with him at all, was in a bad place personally) and my fifth I ate all whole foods, fresh nothing processed, mostly fruits and veggies, and maintained a regularly worked out and she was almost 10 lbs!!

Answer

It's mostly genetics and lifestyle. Eating healthy and exercising however will help reduce risks such as gestational diabetes which could result in a bigger baby.

Answer

Not true. My coworker who is 5' and 98 lb only gained 15 lb each pregnancy and had 9 and 10 lb babies, natural too

Answer

This is not true at all. I had hyperemesis my 1st pregnancy and could hardly eat and my son was 9lb3. But I'm 5'11 so I was never going to have a small baby. It's genetics x

Answer

I don't think that has anything to do with it, other than if you have gestational diabetes you'll often have large baby
