Weight gain & how much did baby weigh?

How much weight did you gain throughout your pregnancy and how much did your baby weigh at birth?

With my first born I only gained 23 pounds. She was born at 6 pounds.

This is my second pregnancy and I've gained 38 pounds.
I'm curious I've gained more weight does that mean I'm going to have a super big baby?
My husband weighed 10lbs 13oz at birth. I was 6lbs 1oz.

For being so tiny I'm scared to have a big baby. I'm 5 foot 1 inch and weighed 105 before I got pregnant.

My birth plan is to vaginally deliver again. But I'm scared I'm going to have a super big baby.
I'm terrified of needles so the epidural is out of the question and even if I'm forced to get it by needing emergency c section I'm scared    they won't give it time to set it and I'll feel them cutting me open.

What do you think?

Thank you guys for the input!
Does the father's birth weight effect how much baby will weigh?
His mom had gestational diabetes and he weighed 10lbs 13oz.
Could that effect the weight of my baby?

I gained 80 pounds with my son and he was 9 pounds 0 ounces. With my daughter, I gained 10 pounds and she was 9 pounds 2 ounces so it has nothing to do with how much you gain.

With my first I gained 37lbs and baby weighed 7lbs2oz. I just had my second last weekend and gained 22lbs and he weighed 8lbs. I had csections both babies but it had nothing to do with size as they were consisered normal, just above average, babies. I was awake for my first csection and it was amazing no problems, this one it was an emergency csection and they did the spinal and when they checked me before starting I wasn't numb enough so they had to put me to sleep because they didn't have time to do it again and was considered too dangerous to do an epidural on top of a spinal. I'm not sharing this to scare you because it all worked out great no problems, but rather to reassure you that they check and recheck to make sure you're really numb. I didn't feel a thing with my first. Good luck!
