Every time a health professional hears LO's weight.....

they look at me & ask if I had GD! I swear, this little one is still surprising people! I just look at her & think 'how did you fit in there?!?'. :)

Re: Every time a health professional hears LO's weight.....

  • I got that with both my kids. DD was 9 pounds 6 ounces and DS was 10 pounds even. I passed both my GD test and even had my placenta sent to be tested after the birth of DS and everything came back normal. I just make big babies I guess. Oh and I am only five foot one.
  • What did/does your lo weigh?
    Sorry no paragraphs, bumping from my phone.
    I once had a picture until the trolls showed up.

  • She was born last Wednesday weighing 9lbs 5oz & is now 9lbs 1oz.
  • Yep! I get that and get asked if I had a c-section. No on both counts! His sugar levels were completely normal at all of his hospital checks too :)

  • I'm actually the opposite - had a c/s (but not b/c of size, doc even thought she'd be 6 or 7lbs) and she had to have her levels checked a few times.
  • Same here! Baby girl was 9lbs 15oz and when people find out I didn't have a c-section they say "Really!? Wow....good job!" The nurses even joked about how I already lost all of my baby weight because she's about it!

  • Same here. I was questioned all through my pregnancy because I was measuring 6 weeks ahead. She was 9 1/2 pounds at birth--and everyone asked if I had GD and she had to have her sugars taken every hour for the first few hours then right before she ate... ugh.

  • Wow. You all have my respect. Both my kids were an ounce apart. Dd was 7lbs15oz, and DS was 7lbs14oz. I ended up with a near 3rd degree episiotomy both times. I wonder what it would have been with a 9 pounder.
  • Same thing with me!! They told me based in my stomach measurements ds2 would be around 9lbs. He was 10lbs 1oz and everyone was in shock! I am 5'3! Everyone when they hear his weight will say so I guess you had to have a csection. Nope sure didn't.

  • Yeah in addition to being 9lbs5oz, she's 22in! I think every nurse told me I couldn't have delivered her. Which I when I saw her head (the first thing I saw) I was so thankful that I didn't get to the point to try! Don't think it would have been fun pushing out 14 inches of head! :)
  • I had GD and was worried I'd have a ginormous baby because every time I mentioned it that was the first thing out of their mouth...your baby is going to be huge!!!  Baby girl was 6lbs 3oz.
