In my red book it says Jens was 3110 g?? And he was 6lb 13.5 born! So it does sound right hun x

Google is a pain in the ass! Some stuff can be really useful and other stuff is a load of crap xz

So, here is the maths.....

3.070 kg = 6.76819 pounds

6.76819 pounds is 6 whole pounds and 0.76819 of a pound.

the 0.76819 of a pound.....as there are 16 oz in a pound.....0.76819 X 16 = 12 oz


so 6 lb 12 oz

My LO was 3.07kg which was recorded as 6lbs 12oz on all of my paperwork. This is also what is says in my red book conversion chart.

lol I was going to say it could be possible for them to get it wrong.. The Maternity Ward at our hospital had the time of birth wrong They wrote it down as 6:30am and we had to repeatedly correct them that it was 12:30pm, I was only 6cm dialated at 6am.. lol

My hospital got several details of the birth with my youngest wrong, particularly the length of the stages of labour and also his weight was 2oz out when they converted kg into lbs xx

They got my LOs length wrong in the hospital! Apparently he was 50cm at birth, then at his 10 day check up he was 55cm when the HV measured him in front of me! Lol! My colostrum must have had some miracle ingredient!
