"Oh man! This is going to be a BIG baby...umm... I mean, he's not going to be itty-bitty..."

 This was while she was feeling arounf for his position....GAH! I mean we knew he wouldn't be small (DS was 9lbs), but hearing it like that. I wish I could insert all her expression into a post. LOL

    She could be wrong! 

     

    I'm freaked out about that a bit this time.  I swear, I feel like baby has already run out of room in there!!  I don't remember feeling elbows and knees this much this early last time (if that was in any way coherent).

    Aww.

    Yea I am hoping for a baby somewhere around C's weight (6 lbs 5 oz).  Although if this baby hangs out longer he will probably be bigger...

    Oh and I am a total believer in: your body only grows a baby it can handle.

    Your pelvis will be wider having already given birth too, so try not to stress!

     Me too. I thought it was funny more than anything. However, she's not generally one to make predictions, so I thought it was a little strange.

    By the way, what midwife do you see?  Can you let me know (I am having a brain fart and can't remember if you're on my FB list) by FB or PM?

    They said that to me, sent me for a 36w u/s and they estimated he was about 7lbs at 36w (she estimated 8-9lbs) so she was WAY off, he came out 8lbs 12oz.

    funny story 3 midwives in the practice, I had my appt in the morning and spent the day totally freaked out that I was having a giant and couldn't birth naturally due to the size (though she did say she birthed 2 10lb boys totally natural) then went on our maternity tour and 2nd midwife was there at the desk, I was chatting and told her the 10lber news and she's like yeah so what? I was so taken back, she's all thats no big deal 10lbs is the same as 9lbs don't freak out we'll work through it. I felt SO much better!

    My midwife told me that she thought my 3rd would be my littlest baby.  He was 1.5 weeks early (the other two were late and right on time) and was only an ounce shy of being as big as my largest baby.  She was almost right on with my other two.  The can definitely be wrong.  I'm just glad he came early....he would've been over 9 lbs for sure if he's hung out 'til his EDD.
