      This is not an easy question to give a general answer to, because each situation is different. What I can say though, is that a mother’s weight is often a sign of whether she is eating a healthy diet, so if she is lacking certain nutrients, then this can impact how much the baby grows.

      It can do but as Kristi said it is more complex than that!
