How might my mother's weight while pregnant have affected me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may or may not: Have had an effect. If a woman gains' too much weight during pregnancy, the baby may be large. From what I have been reading, a really large baby may have increased risk of being overweight in later years.
