tanott15 · May 2010

my DH weighed 10lbs and a few oz i weighed 7lbs 13oz...a lil scared im going to be having a 10 pounder...how close was your babies weight to yours or your SO???

DeeandBrad · May 2010

I weighed almost 8lbs and I was 3 weeks early. DH weighed close to 9lbs. Our DD weighed 7lb 14oz and was born at 41w4d and DS weighed 8lb 14oz when he was born at 40 weeks exactly.

I was 9lb 2oz. DH was 8lb 10oz. Our DS.....10lb 4oz! But like my OB said, we grow 'em big in Wisconsin!

My DH was 7 lbs 6 oz (but a month early) and I was 7 lbs 9 oz. My LO was 2 weeks late and weighted 7 lbs 7 oz....so actually close to both of ours

My DH was 9.5lbs and a week early, I was 7.0lbs, 4 days late and our DD was born at 39w5d and weighed in at 8.5lbs and 20.5 inches long!

I was 8lbs 7oz DH was 7lbs even and DD was born early at 35 wks and 5 days and weighed 7lbs 14oz

I was 2 weeks early and 9 lbs. DH was 10 lbs and a day late. DS was 1 day late and 7 lb 10.5 oz. I wouldn't stress.

DH was 7lbs and i was 8 lbs 4 oz. baby was 5 lbs 8 oz.... so you really never know!

I was a tiny little thing - just under 5 lbs I believe. SO was 8 lbs even. Our LO was 7 lbs 12 oz at birth. Everyone thought he was going to be a lot smaller though.

lpstl · May 2010

I weighed 8lbs 15oz, DH was 9 lbs 15oz.

LO was 9 lbs 13oz.

That's probably not what you wanted to hear, if it makes any difference my guy was 9 days late.

Mrs.Hagzz51306 · May 2010

i was 7lb 7oz(1 wk late) dh was 9lb 12oz and ds#1 was 7lb 12 oz 5 days before his due date and ds#2 was 8 lb 7oz 2 wks early

J&Jaggies06 · May 2010

I weighed just over 8lbs and DH was like 6.5lbs. DD was born at 7lbs 11oz so she was a happy medium I'd say. She was also 4 days past her due date.

I mentioned my weight to my OB so she did do a growth scan which was pretty much on target.

katie.i.do · May 2010

i was a week or so early and weighed 5lbs 14 oz. my DD was 4 days past my due date and was 8lbs 10 oz. dont know how big my husband was...but i don't think there is much correlation.

FemmeNat01 · May 2010

I was small at 6lbs 3oz and Nate was big at 8lbs 8oz. The twins were 6 weeks early but pretty small. Elena was 3lbs 1oz and Lucas was 4lbs 4oz.

ash2 · May 2010

I was 7 lbs. 4 oz., 6 days early, and DH was 5 lbs. even and 6 weeks early. DD was 8 lbs. 1 oz. and 9 days late, DS was 8 lbs. 12 oz. and 10 days early!

kkfeb04 · May 2010

I was 7 lb 2 oz 21 1/2 inches, DH was 6 lbs 8 oz. 19 inches. DS was 10 lbs 22 inches at birth. Oh and he was a week early. I only gained 12 lbs the entire pregnancy. Was he chubby? Not at all he was in the 25th percentile for weight-for-length chart. Is he chubby now? No in fact he's in the 50th percentile for weight and he's well below the 5th percentile for weight-for-length. He's between the 90th and 95th percentile for length. At his two month check-up he weighed 12 lbs 1 oz. He was 24 1/2 inches long.

I was 7lbs 2 oz, right on time, my DH was 10lbs, 3 weeks late. LO was 7lbs 9oz, 1 week early.

osscott4510 · May 2010

I was 8lbs 8oz and right on time, DH was 5lbs but 5 weeks early, baby was 3 1/2 weeks early and he was 7lbs 11oz

amykins1283 · May 2010

I was 7 lbs 6 oz and my DH was 8 lbs 13 oz, I believe. DS came out at 8 lbs 5 oz at 38 weeks. If I had gone to term I would have probably had a baby that weighed about 9 lbs so I guess he took after DH in that department.

Babymamawithdrama · May 2010

DH was over 9lbs and 3 weeks late...keep that in mind, they don't let moms go 3 weeks late anymore... i was 7 lbs 10 oz and DS was 7 lbs 2 oz (2 weeks early)... they thought we would have an almost 9 lb baby but even if I went to my due date he still wouldn't have been that big. Don't stress about it

Danielle0617 · May 2010

I weighed 4 pounds 8 ounces and my DH weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces. Our LO weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces. Not sure if there is a correlation though.

Tina562 · May 2010

I was 7.10 pounds and DH was 6 something and my LO was 6.5 and born at 41 weeks =]

Mrs. J · May 2010

I was 6 pounds 8 ounces. LO was 7 pounds 4 ounces. I think DH was 8 something, but I'm not sure.

g8trkim · May 2010

I was 7lb 8oz, DH was 8lb 1oz, and DS was 7lb 12oz... so he was exactly in between us. Is there a chance your MIL had GD or does she naturally have large babies?

My MIL did not have GD and my DH was the only big baby out of 3 but back then they didnt know how big he was they didnt have the technology like we do now..she said he came out all bruised on his head and face..poor thing..hopefully my lil man will be avg size!!
