I'm pregnant with Number 3. DS was 3.83kgs, DD was 4.27kgs.

OB has warned me that babies tend to get bigger with each subsequent pregnancy and that I might want to make sure I reach for the carrot sticks rather than the cake during this pregnancy. She said it in a nice way, not having a shot at me at all - from a self preservation perspective I guess!

I ate pretty well with both DS and DD, sure I put away some chocolate but on the whole I was pretty good. And DH is a big guy, rugby player type of build...I'm sure there's a genetic factor going on a bit here.

So...how much does what you eat affect the baby's size? Anyone know? I'm not too worried, I just think DH and I make babies that are on the large side, but at the same time, if I had to choose, I'd pick an 8 pounder over a 10 pounder, if you know what mean....?
