I lost somewhere between 7 and 10 kilos last pregnancy and in the 3rd tri only put on 5 kilo of baby weigh...and P was a normal 8 pound 3 ounces...so I don't think exercise or HEALTHY weight loss/gain has any effect on the bub. That's not including dangerous eating habits, obsessive exercise or gestational diabetes of course.
My SIL was a VERY heavy smoker during pregnancy and she only had a 6 pounder, but not sure if the smoking had anything to do with that directly...although I have read that it makes babies smaller.
i have never smoked and i am regular ish height 165, had 2 babies on their edd's, 5lb 13- 2.65 and 6lb 2 oz- and there was nothing known to cause their weights. ate well and exercised, put on 20kg eeeeekkkkk! but they are both fine and healthy now.
I agree that you just have what you have, unless there are gd or complications i guess.
one thing i might add- i hate people saying " oh you had it easy" coz they were small. I hate that!
