How big was your overdue baby?

[redneckhippy]

For anyone who had an overdue baby, how big was the baby when born? My baby was measuring almost 8 lbs at 38 weeks +5 & I'm now 40 weeks +3 with no signs of baby coming yet. I'm worried how big he will be when he finally comes.

Not mine (born at 40 + 1 (8lb 3oz) and 39 + 4) but I was 6 days over and 10lb 0.5oz.

My 1st was 2 weeks late, 9lbs 15oz. His growth as monitored as my fundal height was large and he supposedly didn't get any bigger in the last couple of weeks. Second was a week late and weighed 8lbs.

My first was 10 days overdue and 7lbs 8 and second was 8 days late and 10lb 11!!

I honestly don't see it as overdue, just that was the date they were meant to arrive, don't worry about him being too big, trust your body!
As you see I have had 2 very different sized babies but they both felt the same giving birth

My 3rd was 40+16 and he was 8lb 12. I thought he'd be a lot bigger as my 1st was born on her due date and was 9lb 3 and my 2nd was 2 weeks early and 8lb 9! So I was pregnant 4 weeks more and he was only 3ozs bigger!

My LO wasn't overdue, born at 40w 4days which is early for a first baby (most 1st babies born at 41weeks) and 9lbs 5oz, but nothing to worry about - easy, quick labour, probably partly because his weight meant gravity helped!

But I wanted to say that weight guesstimates in utero are notoriously inaccurate, they can be up to a pound out either way IIRC!

Isabelle was 10 days late and weighed 7lb 4oz

Tiny considering I had GD and they originally induced me at 37 weeks but the induction failed

 

[Chelle26]

40+4 and 8lb 6oz he was smack on what they estimated x

My first baby was 13 days over due and she weighed 7lbs 6oz. My second was four days early and weighed 8lbs 2oz - crazy as you'd expect it to be the other way around, even more crazy that I measured 3-4 weeks behind with both of them, cant understand that with my eldest but not my youngest.
