Hi ladies..
Thought I would post.. My not so little man was 9lb 4oz at birth.. at 14 weeks he weighed 18lbs.. He is now 19+5 weeks and haven't had him weighed but reckon he is over 20lbs.. he is however close on 80cm long! He doesnt in the slightest look fat or out of proportion but just get a bit sick of everyone tellingme he looks like a 10 month old.. he is exclusively breastfed and has not started on solids/with weaning.. [U]I feel like I never had a newborn as I see friend's babies who are like a few weeks younger than him and weigh what he did at 3 weeks old.. [/U]Bonus though is that he is so strong

i can really relate to this, i too felt like Noah was never a newborn, people were always saying how big he was that it isn't until now (that he's 6 months and 21lb) that i actually appreciate that he was small... i always thought he was a giant!!

i can also relate to the pressure people put you under to wean big babies, just because they're big doesnt mean their digestive system is any more developed than a titch!!

Also, ouch, stomach splitting... now that sounds painful!!

Yes a splitting bleeding bump is awful! I even had a thread about it when it happened!!! I have the pictures in the 1st post.

Hi girls can I join?! I think Ava qualifies as a big baby

She was born at 41 weeks and 5 days (went in to labour at 41 weeks and 4 days) and weighed 8lb 15oz. I'm only 5ft 1" so pretty big for me lol!

She got weighed last Monday at 12 weeks and 5 days and weighed 14lb! She's following the 75th percentile and was on 91st when she was born. She's very long and has been in 3-6 month clothes since 2 month old. She takes after her daddy though as he is 6ft

Everyone is surprised when I tell them Ava is only 3 months they assume she's about 5/6 month old cos of how long and big she is (Sturdy!). As you can see from the pics she's not a fat baby lol. The picture of her in the red and white striped onesie is at 4 days old and it's 0-3 months onesie....

I too always say I never felt like I had a newborn. Newborn clothes go up to 9lb so she was instantly too big for them when she was born and went straight in 0-3 months. She was mega alert and is so clever for her age!

She's not even a greedy baby either, she only takes 4oz every 3-4 hours and even that is a battle to get down her, she definitely won't need weaning early!

[Nessicle]

Kellycool big but beautiful bump! I was like that it was awful not having breathing space! How overdue did you go?x

 

[Kellycool]

Sorry Aliss, meant to say 'he'

Ness, my 1st born went to 42 weeks and I had to be induced at 42 weeks.. this little one got to 41+7 and there was still no sign and we were emmigrating the next week so needed him here and knew he wouldnt come on his own so i lied about reduced movement so that they would induce me.. even then it took 3 days to get me into labour (not even breaking waters worked).. he was born 41 plus 10 but i reckon my boys would have gone to like 50 weeks if I had let them lol.. Im like an elepahnt when I gestate! honestly dont think i go into labour naturally and he knew i was having a big baby so thats also why i wanted baby out .. xx

 

[Nessicle]

I dont blame you for lying If I hadnt gone into labour at 41+5 i was going to do the same, wish I'd done it sooner cos I might not have ended up with a bloody section then lol xx

 

[Kellycool]

SHame! Howcome you had to have a section?... xx

Hi ladies! Just a quick update, Fran was weighed last Thursday at 8wks 6days and was 13lbs bless her! She is following just below the 91st centile for weight and just above the 75th for height.

Here are the latest pics - the first one was taken today xx

Well I stopped dilating after about 16 hours so had to have the syntocinon drip and because it took so long she turned back to back and her head wasnt in the right position, she also couldnt descend because she was too big for me I'm very small at 5ft 1" and a size 10, I spent nearly 3 hours pushing after 30 hours labour and I could feel her bum catching on my ribcage when I pushed down - thats how high she was!

They tried two different sizes of forceps but they couldnt bring her down. My waters had been gone over 36 hours and her heart beat kept dropping so had to get her delivered asap.

Was pretty traumatic and lost a lot of blood and couldnt breastfeed either as never got any milk (though my boobs are so saggy now you'd think I breastfed for ages lol!) xx

I'm very patient with the camera lol! Actually she smiles a lot nowadays - my heart melts because her face lights up when she see's me or her daddy

 

[juless]

I loooove it how Rose smiles when she sees us too! It's so sweet! She'll hopefully be going for her first swim on Sunday and I can't wait!!
