  I don't think that what you eat directly correlates to a big baby. I think the fat is more likely to stick on you than baby.

  Eating junk foods will probably just make YOU big, not baby. Babies pretty much just take what they need and not much else while they're in the womb.

  I had a ten pound baby and let me tell you the first four months I couldn't hold anything down so I think you will be fine. ...
  Always look at the father because nine out of ten if he's big the it's a chance your baby will be too

  I was sick my entire pregnancy, and my son was 9 lbs 7 oz... What you eat doesn't have a direct effect on your child's weight... I was a big baby being born too, almost 9 lbs ! I don't know why your so worried about a big baby, we're you big or your DH ?

  There's no correlation there. I had a friend that gained seventy (!!!) lbs during her pregnancy because of aaaaaaall the junk food she ate. If there were a correlation between junk food and big babies, hers would have been a thirty pounder.

  Lol @ 30 pounder!!!!!!!!!!
  
  With my first, I was sick until 16 weeks and then was able to eat a very healthy diet for the remainder of the pregnancy. She was 7lbs.
  
  With my second, I was sick every single day until she was born. All I could keep down were carbs and sugary foods I gained 40 lbs even with the sickness every day. She was 9lbs.
  
  We are expecting a boy this time and I bet he will be big. DH was 10lbs and my brother was 9lbs. With my second dad being 9lbs, thinking this will be a biggin. Oh and both dd's heads were off the charts (nurses brought me their cute little crochet hospital hats in a ziplock baggies bc they were too small). Already feeling sorry for my vagina and pelvic floor.

  I was terrible with eating junk food through my whole pregnacy.. I went off anything healthy.
  My brothers and all my cousins were big baby's ranging from 9lbs-11lbs
  So I thought my baby was going to be massive. And my poor lady bits where going to be destroyed lol. But my LO was born at 38weeks at 6lbs6oz heathy.
  All the weight went on to me! on my bum and hips!!

  I had a 10# 14oz baby. I was sick the entire 1st tri and didn't gain anything until 26 weeks and only gained a total of 27#. Your diet will not cause your baby to be huge.

  I was 3 weeks early (October 14, due on November 6-8 or something) and weighed almost 8 lbs. 
  
  My mom didn't overeat on anything (she didn't have cravings with me other than crushed ice)
