I don't think what a mother eats has a lot to do with how much her baby will weigh (in most cases).

I know women who gained 50+ and ate shitty food for 9 months, but had normal sized babies. I know one girl who gained 90 lbs and her kid came out a little over 6 lbs. Shit, my friend's sister was overweight and gained only 15 lbs during her pregnancy. Her son was 9.5 lbs and she left the hospital weighing less than when she got pregnant.

I gained 30 lbs max, ate healthy and my daughter was almost 9 lbs and 20.5 inches long. She now super tall (98 percentile), but average in weight. Sometimes kids are just big regardless of what you eat/gain.
