Poll: 2nd+ Time Moms: How big were your babies?

MarshaBrady · February 2011

For those of you who already have children, how much did they weigh and how long were they at birth? Also, did your LO(s) arrive early, late, on-time?

kda217 · February 2011

DS was a week late. He weighed in at 9 lbs 4 oz and measured 20.5 inches.

heather_09_15_07 · February 2011

DD was 6 lb 2 oz and 17 1/4 inches at 40w3d. She was a little peanut. Apparently a lot of the staff came into the delivery room to get a look at her because they don't frequently see full term babies that size. lol.

curlygirl124 · February 2011

DD was 8lbs 4oz 21 1/2 inches. She was a big girl! Makes me nervous since your first is supposed to be your smallest. Indifferent

She was born 4 days before her due date.

Mrs.Leah.Maria · February 2011

DS was born at 39w after 29 hours of labor and weighed 7lb 4oz and 19 1/2 inches.

I really hope LO is comparable!

mainemommy · February 2011

Brianna was due 12/3 born 12/11. She was 8lbs even 20.5 inches maybe?

Camden was due 4/18 born 4/23. He was 8lbs 7oz & 21 inches I think.

Temp856430000003146 · February 2011

DS was 9lbs 4oz and 21.5" I was induced on his due date so he was born at 40w. I had a c/s.

mbritto4 · February 2011

DD was 8lb1oz, 20inches. Born 9/15, EDD 9/21.

EDD this LO was originally 7/7 from LMP but they've already moved it to 6/30 due to LO measuring a week ahead on 6w and NT u/s. Still measuring on target for 6/30 EDD at anatomy scan.

COMomma81 · February 2011

DS was 2 weeks early (induced for medical reasons)...and he weighed 7 lbs 2 oz.

I went into labor on my due date and my daughter was born the next morning. She was 8 lbs 8 oz and 21 in. long!

Kristin131 · February 2011

DS was 2 days early and 8lbs even and I think 21.5 in long. Only 14 minutes of pushing too so I'm hoping that LO will be as nice to me

Noelle2375 · February 2011

DD was born at 37 weeks due to me having pre-eclampsia. She was 8lbs 9oz and was 20.5 inches long (3 weeks early!!!)

DS was 29 hours of labor, but 17 minutes of pushing! I'm also hoping for the same, even if labor is just as long!

WestieMama · February 2011

DS was 9 pounds, 11 oz and 22 in long and came a little early at 37 weeks (and a couple of days) via c/s because he was breech.

Damn woman! DD was 9 pounds and 22 inches but she was a week late. I can't imagine how big your guy would have been if you had had to go as long as me DH was 10.5 pounds but he was 3 weeks late. Are you trying for a VBAC or planning on a c-section? Kudos to you either way

ladymcp · February 2011

Natural labor, he was born at 36.5 weeks 6lb 10oz 19.25 inches.

anakalia10 · February 2011

Over 2 weeks early (he came on his own- I had been dilated for weeks though so it was kinda expected)- 7 lbs., 2 oz.

heedy07 · February 2011

DD was born at 41 weeks and weighed 7 lbs and was 19.5" long.

KOscar · February 2011

DS was a week early, 8 lbs 2 oz, and 20 inches.

rpm2009 · February 2011

DS was born on his due date. I was induced that morning at 7 a.m. because I was already 4 cm dilated. He was born about 5 hours later. The OB told me that I better get to the hospital ASAP when I have my second baby because it will go even quicker. Gulp.

DS was 7 pounds, 13 ounces, 22 inches!

amos07 · February 2011

My DD was 6 lbs 12.5 oz, 20 inches long and she was born at 39 weeks 1 day.

LilyGracesMommy · February 2011

with DD I had to be induced at 41weeks( actually a greattt experiance,sort of hoping I am again)

I had an ultrasound on my due date and the tech said she would be between 8-8.5lbs...

well DD clocked in at 9lbs 12.75oz and 21.5inches

I did not have GD and am a bit worried that this baby, a boy and the second will be even bigger Indifferent

although I only had a 1st degree tear.. and pushed maybe 5x ( thankyou epidural&Pitocin) the nurse literally checked me and said " Omg, your crowning, let me get the doctor" ohh. and they " forgot to turn off my epidural, couldn't feel my legs for 4hrs after...

My OB said if I had made it full-term that DS would have been 11 pounds! Hoping this one is smaller...it was very hard on my body and back (I'm pretty petite - at the time a size 4 (i wish I could say the same now) and 5'2"). I had some heart issues, too, so my dr this time thinks a repeat c/s is best. I'm pretty sure I'm in agreement! I have a GD test at my 16 week appt since they suspect they missed it last time (because my dates all were both the same at my 6 week and 12 week ultrasound.) Hoping for a smaller LO this time around!

Did you have to have a c/s?

JEM102009 · February 2011

DD was 10lbs 2 oz. and 21.25 in. She was born 2 days early. After pushing for 2.5 hrs we did a c-section. I was 8lbs 15 oz and DH was 11lbs 1 oz.

SoCaliAli · February 2011

DS was 8 pounds 11 ounces and 22 inches long. He was born at 39w6d.

jesh1111 · February 2011

My son was born at 35 weeks, healthy! He was 6 lbs and 19.5 inches long. Another 5 weeks and he would have been HUGE!!

LaborRNChristy · February 2011

I grow really big babies! My first was 2 weeks early because my doctor thought she was too big to fit so she was a C/Section and she weighed 9 lbs 9.4 ozs. ( I can't remember lengths, sorry!!!) My second was born on his due date. He was a VBAC at 9 lbs 15.2 ozs. My third was 6 days late and my smallest weighing 8 lbs 10.4 ozs, although he had the biggest head (15 inches!!!) and he was also a VBAC.

mama mand · February 2011

I was induced with both on their due dates - right at 40 wks.

DD was 8lb 7 oz, 19 3/4 in.

DS was 8 lb 14 oz. 21 in.
