weird question, but really want to know...

when women are pregnant, if they eat alot of fatty or sugary foods like chocolate, sweets, bacon, sausages, crisps etc will that mean they could have a massive baby? Lol i jus wanna know what causes some babys to be so big and some to be so small x

No I don't think it does unless you get GD and dont take care of it. I gained 90 pounds (went from 135lbs to 225lbs..lost that plus 10 pounds with in 10 months of her birth) with my almost 3 year old and she was only 7.8 pounds.

I ate very badly with DS and gained loads of weight....he was only 6lb 7 so no big baby doesn't automatically follow.

No definately not. I know someone who is a size 20 and ate so much rubbish during pregnancy and her baby was 5lbs 13oz. I am a size 8 pre pregnancy, and eat fairly healthily and had a 8lbs 7oz baby! x
