Yah! That's actually the largest baby I've ever heard of! It's nearly a stone! x
 
Anyone know if the 1/2lb a week thing is true?

Baby was 4lb 8oz last week. So if I go another 7 from this Saturday that's 8lb 8oz. I don't mind that. But if prefer single figures to be honest!
 
I suspect it's not a linear thing and that they may gain one week and then not the next etc

x
 
I think they say 0.5 pounds a week from 32-37 weeks then it slows down. Having said that I'm pretty sure that could not have been the case for my DD so I wouldn't worry too much

I've read an ounce a day which lines up pretty well with 1/2 pound per week! I was 10lbs at birth, but was 3 weeks overdue!
 
Midwife said to me yesterday that they don't pack it on until around week 36, the they do half pound a week.
 
i really think it differs baby to baby, mom to mom.

i had a friend give birth last night at 38 weeks - 8lb, 8oz. so i think it's going to vary! noone can really know how much the baby will put on in the last few weeks!
 
Theres nothing we can do about it though so just have to sit and wait and see what we get! They say you only get what your body can cope with so hopefully no matter what the size is we will be fine ;)
 
ttcbean, i won't be drinking any raspberry leaf tea after all.
i had a tiny fibroid when i got pregnant (i stressed out when i heard i had a fibroid, thinking it would prevent me from getting pregnant easily, but....it only took me 3 months to get pregnant, ha!)

just been doing research, and it says not to drink raspberry leaf tea if you have a personal or family history of fibroids, so i'll be avoiding it. i'll keep drinking my pregnancy tea, though. :)
 
My son was overdue by a week and I gained 50 lbs and he still only came out at 8'3 but boy was he long still is haha he went down to 7'11 after we got home. Than bulked right up but now hes 3 and tall and skinny try not to worry too much!
 
This might be weird, but anyone hear a clicking noise from their bumps sometimes? I hear it a couple times a day. I am like 99% sure it's coming from inside. It sorta sounds like a really small twig getting snapped underwater.
 
Maybe you have a dolphin in there ;)

Nope, no clicking noise. Bit grim but are you sure its not parts of you realigning (eg back etc)? My back clicks like a bugger once I've been sitting down for a while and as my body relaxes x
 
yeah, no clicking noise here, either. but i do know that our joints are softening and moving to get ready for baby. maybe a part of your body is popping/cracking and it just sounds like it's coming from inside your belly?

last night my ankles cracked when my husband was rubbing my feet, and they'd never done that before! very funny and weird.
 
I've not had clicking but have read lots of other ladies say they get it. I think it can be baby and is normal. X
 
I'm not sure, it could be my back (it's pretty sore these days), and my joints sure are soft, my hips pop when I walk lately! I usually only hear it when I'm sitting still, when it's super quiet. I did a quick Google search and it looks like others have experienced the same thing, so weird!
 
I don't have it either but reckon its probably to do with ligaments stretching.
 
My cousins three boys averaged 10 lbs (9.7-10.9). She just had a girl who was 8.7. She kept Calling her little, and the nurses were like, shes not little! They just didn't get it. Oh and my cousins 5'3 and 100 lbs. but she had them all naturally with no trouble.
I think you run into size trouble when lo's head is bigger than your pubic bone. I'm a bit scared of that as DH and I both have large heads.
 
sass, don't worry about the size of the head. my husband and his brothers all have HUGE heads (and were all over 9 lbs each) and my mother-in-law was told she had a small pelvis. all 4 boys born naturally with no problems.

you'll be fine! our bodies are made to give birth :)
 
I had my baby shower today, lil miss and I got very spoilt.

I made a watermelon baby!

Here is my 34 pink bump that is measuring 36.5 at my growth scan.
