A member asked:
Did a heavy birth weight mean that i ate too much during my previous pregnancy?

Not completely: What the mother eats and her activity level do play a part in determining the weight of the baby. However, genetics play a part too. Some people make big babies, some people make small babies. Most of it is out of our control. I do stress eating very healthy and exercising everyday.

NO: The baby is a parasite and grows at its own pace.
