Tips on to have a smaller baby?

Question

Im due in December but i dont want a 9 pound baby! I want a 7 pound baby, just a perfect healthy weight. People say exercise help but it depends on the baby and what you eat doesnt matter. If there any way to keep her smaller? Im not even that big yet ive gained 35 pounds but i dont look huge but i have a round belly. I have 11 weeks left. Any advice??

Answer

I lost 40lbs during my pregnancy and still had a 9lbs 9oz baby 🤷🏻‍♀️. Try to keep sugar intake down is the only relevant thing I can think of, but, other than that, you’re pretty much up a creek with no paddle.

Answer

My Doctor told me to keep my sugar intake to a bare minimum it gives you a big baby.

Answer

Depends. I gained 65 pounds and had a 5 pound baby.

Answer

I think it just depends but in general just eat healthy, and do light exercise daily.

Answer

I went from 114 pounds to 156 pounds, ate a lot of sweets, didn't have GD though, I did have hypertension, baby girl was 6 lbs 4 oz when I was induced at 39 + 3. I'm 5 foot 8 and slim and her daddy is 5 foot 3 and stocky. Thinking she'll just be small her whole life. She has her 6 month next week and I'm betting she'll be 15 pounds. She still wears size 1 diapers and 0-3 and 3 month clothing. 3-6 month clothes are still a bit big on her.

Answer

I had no gd, sick the whole pregnancy, gained 20 lb and had an 8.3lb baby
