I think I'm in for another big baby

VivaAmore

At the US yesterday she was estimated at being 7lbs 6oz (slightly above normal but still well within range). I know there's room for error but that seems pretty big for still having 2+ weeks left!  (no comments from the peanut gallery.... )

Mia was 8lbs 4oz and she seemed huge to me. Anything over 8lbs should really be illegal.

LMAO well, if you go like sometime right after (or before) the party, you may be just under 8 lbs!

DD - 8.6

DS - 9.7

Me - 5ft tall.  Wasn't pretty.  LOL

I was three weeks early with DS and he was 8lbs 8oz.  I shudder to think if I had gone full term!  I had to push for 2 hours as it was!

my first was only 7lb 12oz and out of nowhere (measuring 7lbs 6oz at 39weeks) my 2nd DD came out a few days later at 9lbs 2oz and 21 long! I will say however, pushing out a 9lb 2oz was still a million times easier than pushing out my first GL!

Yikes! 9.7?!?!? Maybe I shouldn't have been so hell-bent on having a vag birth after all...

DS was 8lbs 8oz and was a week late.  He was actually a lot smaller than I expected as DH and I are really tall!

KoriBrett

Yeah.  NICU called him "the big guy".  He was 3x the size of their usual patients.  They had to rob diapers & clothes from the regular mother/baby unit LOL

Pretty sure the only reason I didn't fully go into labor was that he was just too farking big.  I could feel him drop down, felt damn near like I had to push, and then I could feel him float right back up again.  He couldn't engage, which meant I never got past 1.5cm and fully effaced, even with all the contrax I was having.  Worked out for the best though, considering the little twerp went & ate his own poo in utero.  Freaking boys.

me: 9 lb 0oz

brother: 8 lb 14

sister #1: 10 lb 7.5 oz (overdue with no epi)

sister  #2:  8 lb 11 oz

And dh was 9 lb 0 oz too.  Somehow M was right under 8 lbs but she was a week early.

Oy! Your poor mom! Both of our families make big babies too. I'm pretty certain both me, my sister and my DH were all over 8lbs.

That's why I am glad I had c/sections.

DS was 10 lb, and DD was 8 lb 10 oz. She seemed like such a peanut after DS.

Boys are so disgusting. I could see DS doing this!

She? Are you having another girl!? How exciting

Who knows? Maybe she will  come early. I delivered Emilia at 37w3d. Just saw your ticker...Get ready!

OMG NO NO NO NO NO!!!!     I know it's possible (bag has been packed for a few weeks now even) but I still want at least another week so I can relax between work/baby! After the 21st would be preferable...

Plus Mia's 3rd Bday party is this weekend.

I can tell you  that 1 pound did make a difference.... Ethan was 8-14 and J was 7-15 (10 days early, can't imagine if he was full term or 7 days over like Ethan), and it was easier to push out an almost 8-lb'er than an almost 9 lb'er....

Good luck
