No big belly doesnt mean big baby :) I think it all depends on you and your partner family. My mom and grandma had small babies and so did my husband mom and grandma. By my belly size and ultrasound they were thinking 9lb baby even up to the day I delivered. And my son was 7lbs 1 oz. Im a big girl to begin with so I think the dr assumed I would give birth to this record breaking toddler but didnt happen :) thank god I could only imagine the damage down there lol

No it doesn't mean you will have a big baby. Some people carry differently, and others should keep their opinions to themselves... But ask your doctor maybe (big maybe) they will recheck growth before your due date.
