Big babies....

[lisalisalisa]

J was 9lb 2.5oz at 39 weeks
C was 8lb 4oz at 38 weeks
Z was 8lb 11oz at 38 weeks

They are all boys and usually measured a week or two ahead on my growth scans.

I expect this one will be around 8-9lbs.

Amelia was 9lb 5oz and 55cm long we knew she was going to be a bit bigger than average (we had a growth scan at 35 weeks) but no one thought over 9lb as she was my first.

I've had to have a consultant appointment for this pregnancy because I had an assisted labour due to pre eclampsia and he said that if I can manage my first being 9lb 5oz (without an epidural) I can handle whatever this baby is too.

But I am still worried and would much rather have a slightly smaller baby this time (which I've been told is definitely possible)

it would be nice to see how we all turn out then, its good to hear that those of us who had a normal birth found it quite easy. I had an emergancy c section with my first but with my second, 2 pushes and she was out!.

my 1st was only 7lb3 which was perfect 2nd was 8lb14 which is a pretty big increase! Very easy labour and birth though so I won't complain. They were both girls and this is a boy. Boys are "supposedly" bigger so I'm a tad nervous at how big he'll be. If the weight increases at the same rate then I'll be looking at a near 10lber EEP!!!

I don't know as it's my first, but odds are I will. I am 5'9 and a bit and OH is about 6'2. He was also a big baby at 10lbs. Hmm...

My second was 10 lbs and 23 inches long....
I drank about a half gallon of milk a day. Ive been told to lay off the milk this pregnancy. I really hope this one is smaller!!

My first was 8lbs 13.5 oz.
My second was 6lbs, 4 weeks early.
My third was 9lbs 1oz.
Yes, expecting a big one this time too lol!

I am sure I have read some study on taller couples having much larger babies. DOOM! I am 5'10 and OH is 6'4! I am hoping to have a normal weight baby but with really long legs!
