Agree that there is probably not a correlation or that family history is probably a more important factor. With my first pregnancy, I gained 55lbs and had a 9lb 1oz DS. However, when my mom was pregnant with me, she only gained 23lbs and I was 10lbs 9oz - so I think big babies just run in my family (my grandfather was a 12lb baby - holy cow!), regardless of how much weight the mother gains.
With #2, I'm definitely hoping to gain less than 55lbs (esp. since I still had some of the first baby weight to lose when I got pregnant again), but I don't have any hopes for a small baby. |

| don't think there is a correlation with first trimester weight gain either. I LOST weight my first trimester and still had a 8 lb 9 oz baby. Gained 38 lbs by the end though. |
