I'm going to have a huge bebe!

Just finished at the dr and the inside baby is big. Like almost 7.5 lbs big. This is huge to me because dd was early and only 5 lbs. I think I need to lay off the nb dipes...

wow! I wouldn't know what to do with a baby that big! Yay for full term babies!

  They kept telling me I was having a gigantor baby... and she was "normal" size 7lbs 8 oz.  We were in nb diapers for 2ish months.

Do you still want me to stalk the nb paisley?

Yay for "big" full term healthy babies! I had a 8lbs 10oz baby and while he looked tiny to me all the nurses kept saying how huge he was.

my daughter was estimated bigger than she actually was.

even at that weight, that's not too big of a baby, don't worry. there was someone on the goodmama facebook page who posted a pic of her 5 month old (i think) in a newborn goodmama.

I'm home now, so I can! Thank you, though. I'm trying to decide if I should even try for it because she'll be almost 6 weeks by the time I get it!

DS was 9 lbs 14 oz at birth.  No, I did not have GD.  Yes it took me over two hous to push his fattness out.  And yes, I tore.

They told me DD would be around 9lbs at 40 weeks based on the U/S we had at 36 weeks.  She was born at 40 weeks and was 8lb 14oz - pretty darn close!

Everyone kept telling me how those were always wrong, but it wasn't really for us.  GL!

My 39 week scan said DD was at least 9 pounds and she was born at 40 weeks (scheduled c-section) at 9 lbs 11 oz. She was huge -- my doctor was like 'OMG, look at her shoulders!!' in the OR.  She spent 2 days in the NICU and was the biggest baby there.

 

She never wore newborn sposie diapers or clothes. She did spend about 6-8 weeks in her newborn stash, although I had some that never fit her at all and by the end it was like she was wearing bikinis. Prefolds ftw!

DD was estimated at 9lbs a few days before she was born...at 8lbs 11oz, so not too far off.  She still fit into a lot of nb diapers for awhile though.  She's filling out now, but when she was first born I don't know where the weight was on her because she didn't look that big to me.

Yay for big babies!!

At 37 weeks, they estimated that DS was around 9lbs already!!  I had him at 39weeks, 4 days and he was 8lbs 7oz.  Still big, but I was expecting a HUGE baby!  FWIW, DS still wore newborn clothing and diapers.
