First baby 10+ lbs, now TTC and worried

We are considering TTC a second child very soon.  Our first baby is now 18 months, he was born 10 lbs, 9 oz (no C-section!) and I did not have gestational diabetes, according to my doctor!  I gained app. 60 lbs during my pregnancy but lost 20 lbs by the time I got home from the hospital and another 20 within a few months after.  I currently still carry app 12-15 extra lbs, but we would like to TTC.  I would like to be on a pretty strict diet for this pregnancy - has anyone ever had a formal diet given to them by their doctor to avoid macrosomia or excessive maternal weight gain?  Obviously, I plan to eat a lot healthier and LESS this time around, but I'd love a plan to stick to (or at least caloric intake standards).  My husband is pretty tall, and was a big baby himself, so I'm not sure exactly why mine was so large, but I'm going to treat it as though it was my weight gain.  This time I want a baby under 9 lbs...is that so much to ask??

    You should get your doctor to refer you to a dietitian they will be able to give you an eating plan healthy for pregnancy, it is hard to say why some babies are large and some aren't. There are many factors and the mothers eating habits can be one of them. You should also look into excercising.

    DS was 9# 6 oz -- quite a bit smaller than your DC :)  Congrats on the delivery!!  I gained about 40 pounds but was pretty overweight to start off.  My midwife told me I needed to lose weight before TTC again and that it would help GREATLY in the size of my next baby.
