large small and average size babies

[mummykel2009]

if u have a baby up to 6lb its classed as very small, if u have a baby between 6lbs 9 and 8lbs 12 its classed as average and anything over 8lb 13 is classed as large,
so everyone lets here what size babys you have already had, my 1st was a 8lbs 1 ie classed as average size my 2nd was 2 weeks early and 9lbs 2 so classed as large esp for 2 weeks early hate to think if had on time.

this is what i have just read
Fetal macrosomia has been defined in several different ways, including birth weight of 8 lb 13 oz to 9 lb 15 oz (4000-4500 g) or, greater than 90% for gestational age. High birth weight (HBW), babies weighing over about 9 pounds (4,080g) fall into the 90th percentile for weight and are known as large for gestational age (LGA) babies.

About 10 percent of all babies weigh more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4 kg). With about 1.5% of babies their birth weight was equal to, or was greater than 9 lb 15 oz (4500 g). Rarely do babies weigh over 10 pounds (4.6kg). Although most LGA babies are born at term (37-41 weeks of pregnancy), a few premature babies may be LGA.

Hi, my daughter weighed 8.1 my son weighed 8.13. I am expecting this to be a big baby both my oh and I have quite big and he weighed 11.1 when he was born....(OMG!!) does that mean this baby will be a big one?

DS was 6pounds 8oz - so just about average I guess - I think this baby will be about 7 pounds something as last time I had gd so was really watching mt diet when I was borderline gd - so think I was being over-cautious. So this time I will relax more and expect this bubbs to be a bit heavier. Also love chubby faces and hands so would love a bit of a chubbier baby xx

i've had two 5 lb 11 oz babies, one 6 lb 9 oz baby and one 8 lb 3 oz baby who knows what this one will be yet lol

Haven't had my baby yet, but I was born 4 weeks early, but was still 6 pounds 7 ounces,
so I wonder if my baby will be average if I carry to term, or will be small.

my DD was 6 lbs 13 at 42+2 that was 5th centile of my customised growth chart... they said she was small and that I had no waters left, having doppler and growth scan this time!

My 3 sons were 7lb 14oz, 6lb 11oz, and 6lb 2oz so i guess they got smaller as i had them x

My son was 9lb 5oz...my husband and I were both large babies too, so don't know if that's a predictor of our upcoming baby?

 

[honeygrl]

My first was a boy and he was 7Lb 2oz and the second was a girl and she was 7Lb 1oz. Both very average!

my first was 7lb 15oz at 41 weeks so average my daughter was 8lb 13oz at 41+2 so just on the large side and my 3rd was 9lb 12oz rather large with him i was induced the day after my due date when born was 40+3 by the way they have gone up i am expecting a 10lb 11oz baby having a growth scan at 34weeks to see what is happening then seeing my consultant xxx

Amelie was a small baby. She was 6lb4oz at birth and looked teeny tiny. A lot of people said she was the smallest baby they'd seen and that she looked like a doll She's still a small baby so think she's just petite
