Question

Just curious of the correlation between bigger babies and the mother’s physical attributes!

Answer

My mom is 5’6” & weighs around 120 lbs. All of my siblings & I were 9+ lbs at birth

Answer

I'm 5'6 and was 190 pre pregnancy. Daughter weighed 8lbs 4oz

Answer

Scientific research shows that baby weight IS is positively correlated with how much weight the mother gains during pregnancy. So it doesn’t matter if you start off larger or underweight, what matters is how much you gain after you are pregnant.

Answer

Your body size has nothing to do with your baby’s size. 
Now what you eat does. 
Large people tend to eat a lot of carbs. 
Small people do not. 
Carbs make for larger babies.
