Do you know how much you weighed when you were born?

meredith anastasia · March 2011

My mom has said something about 7lbs 7oz, but she's fuzzy on it. I'd say 7.5 lbs is probably a good estimate.

DH was in the 7's, his mom can't remember exactly.

ETA: I came 11 days early (was due on Christmas! came on Dec. 14) and DH was almost 2 weeks late when his mom was induced.

DS was 8lbs 5oz at 39 weeks, chunky monkey! Funnily, I feel like I could never ever, ever forget his weight, time of birth, etc. but both our moms can't remember our stats exactly and it was only 24 and 27 years ago - I feel like I should write things down more often because even though I feel now like I could never forget them, clearly 20+ years out things tend to get fuzzy! We're both 1 of 2 kids so our parents tend to mix the details.

I am a twin and we were born about 4-6 weeks early. I was 5lbs and my sister was 4.5lbs. We were small. We had blankets made for us as babies with our names, date of birth, and weight. I think they are still at my dads house.

lily87 · March 2011

6 lbs 5 oz. My MIL told me about DH once but I have forgotten. I was a small baby, but my dad passed unexpectedly 5 weeks before I was born...so that may have affected my birth weight.

MsCrispy · March 2011

I was 8lbs 10 oz and 19 inches long, I was a fat baby and my mom will not forget.

marriedfilingjointly · March 2011

I weighed 8 lbs 4 oz. My younger siblings both topped 9 lbs. Tongue Tied

DH and his sister each weighed between 5 and 6 lbs.

Hoping DH's genes cancel mine out a bit in this one.

Geekchick921 · March 2011

I believe I was about 6 and a half pounds.

My husband, however, was 11 pounds 4 ounces. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

abatkins · March 2011

9 pounds 9 ounces

Fiance was almost 10.

EEEEEK!

spidermonkeymomma · March 2011

I was 4 lbs 12 oz, born on my due date. DH was 8 something.

chanteltbarrett · March 2011

I was 7 lbs 15.5oz. DH has no idea how much he weighed. I'll have to ask MIL.

LNHinton · March 2011

I'm also a twin. We were born a little over 4 weeks early and I weighed 5 lbs 4 oz.

ermaderma · March 2011

I was 6 lbs 1 oz. DH was born as part of quintuplets and was only 2 lbs 13 oz.

Amrice78 · March 2011

9 pounds 8 ounces

amandaloren · March 2011

Not sure the exact, but I was about 6 1/2. I was also 4 weeks early.

CarrierBride · March 2011

9 pounds 2 ounces

DH was 8 something, but my younger brother was 10 pounds 1 ounce! Yikes!

PurplePanda83 · March 2011

I was 8lbs 9oz, I believe. I was born a month past the original due date they gave my mom. She was scheduled for a c-section the next day but I decide to go ahead and debut. I was born at 9:50pm on a Thursday. My parents remember everything. I think because I am the only one and they have repeated it so much to people.

natkay02 · March 2011

I was 7 days late and weighed 8lbs 6oz. I don't know if DH was late or early but he also weighed 8lbs 6oz. Even though we weighed the same, I was chubby baby and he was long and skinny.

TheFannins729 · March 2011

my sister and i were both right around six. one was a little over and one was a little under. my mom can't remember which was which.

ds was 6 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2 inches. I'm sure once I have two, I'll start to get a little fuzzy on the details. I'll write it in the baby book and then I won't have to remember it because it's there.

browneyes_24b · March 2011

I was very over due and weighed 9 pounds 8 ounces. DH was 9 pounds 11 ounces.

I thought I would give birth to a toddler with DS, but he was 8 pounds 12 ounces.

spower5 · March 2011

I was a few days late and weighed 7 lbs 10 oz. DH was around 10 lbs. grrrreeat.

lacey0482 · March 2011

I weighed 7 lbs 1 oz, and was my mom's heaviest baby out of her 4. I have no idea, (and neither does DH) about his birth weight. I know he does have a bigger than normal head though, which scares me!

Codi-Bailey · March 2011

I was 7.4 and DH was 6 something.

TinaL99 · March 2011

I was 7lbs. 1.5oz. DH was around 7.5 lbs.

DD was 8lbs. 8oz.

JenniferAnnes · March 2011

I was 6lbs 15oz. DH was actually the same exact weight as I was when he was born!

solsburyhill · March 2011

I was almost 2 weeks late. I weighed 8lb 10oz.

DH was low 7's, I don't remember exactly.

Azrayla · March 2011

I was one day late (Well mom went into labor on her EDD I just took forever) weighing almost 9lbs..Dont know exact..My brother was two weeks early at 8lbs.

DH was 7 something I think. I believe his mom said DD weighed more than he did.

DD was 7lbs 11oz at 3 weeks and 1 day early.

SockMonkeySam · March 2011

I was all 7 & 3's when I was born.

7lbs 3 ozs, born on 7/30 at 7:30 am I was 21 inches long (7X3)

My sister who was born 11 years late was 11 lbs 2 ozs.

luvtinyhands · March 2011

I was 7.7lbs and according to my mom not one day early. I was the heaviest one she had and I am the youngest of 6.

My dh was 8.5.lbs. My dd was 8.12lbs and 2 weeks early and my ds was 9.2lbs and right on time.

So I figure my kids take after dh in the weight department. I decided this pregnancy not too worry so much about what I eat...since according to my OB whether I eat a cheeseburger or wheat toast I am still going to have a 9lber Sad .

Mrs. Alice · March 2011

I was 7lbs 6oz born about a week after my due date. My older sister was a little smaller but she came even later than me (before the days of routine inductions I guess). My mom delivered both of naturally. My DH has no idea what he weighed at birth.

My nephew was also after his due date, and was induced. He was a chubby 9lbs 1oz! However, I think that is mostly from his father...

kdsessoms · March 2011

I was 9lb 6oz and 21.5 in long....(i'm now 5'10") and DH was 10lb 10oz and 22in long...he's about 6'1" now. We were both two weeks late, and c-section babies (i cannot imagine if we had not been)....

needless to say, i'm a bit nervous about having a large baby given the family history of big ones (my dad was also almost 11lbs, but mom was mid 7lb)

ejs04414 · March 2011

7 pounds 8 ounces for me! DH was in the 7 pound range too!

bluejetta · March 2011

I'm also a twin and we were born 7 weeks early via emergency c-section so we were both about 4lbs give or take. Aside from the emergency, apparently we were also running out of space.

Geekchick921 · March 2011

Apparently I win (read: lose) for "Husband's genetics to be most afraid of." *Shudder*

marriedtoeric · March 2011

Uh, if your DH was 8-5 and a chunky monkey, I was a tubbo. 9lbs, 14 oz. 3 days past my due date. Every one of my siblings was 8lbs 8oz or heavier--2 sibs at 8/8, me at 9/14, and my two other brothers in the 10lb range. All of us were less than a week past due, and my mom didn't have any complications, natural births with all five of us.

Kira98 · March 2011

I was 8lb 3 oz nine days early. My son was 7lb 4oz five days late.

laurynfaerie · March 2011

I was 6lbs 7oz, or 7lbs 6oz. My sister and I were opposites, but I can never remember which was which. We were both born on our due dates. She barely made to hers though. She came at 1 minute after midnight. And as my dad is fond of reminding me, I interrupted a hockey game. He apparently left the game, took my mom to the hospital, and went back to the game.

justrachet · March 2011

I was about 7.5 lbs. My mom remembers exactly, I just don't. I was 4 days early. I was due on Christmas Eve's eve (Dec 23).

We don't know how much DH weighed. He was born in the Kenyan countryside, and they just don't record these things. Even his birthday is just a guess.

DS was 9 lbs 7 oz, born 8 days past EDD. He wasn't chunky at all, just had a massive head. It's written in his baby book and the "about Nate" page of my blog, in case I ever forget.

trytryagain · March 2011

I was 7lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long. DH was 8lbs 6oz. I was actually the smallest of my mom's 4 children. But we were all under 8lbs.

shelley1002 · March 2011

I was 7lb 13oz and 2 weeks late. I was due mid-September and was born early October.

No clue about DH. I think he was 7lbs something as well.

jabberjones · March 2011

7 lbs. 12 oz. here and 22" long (funny b/c now I'm only 5'5"). I was 2 weeks late according to my mom.

I asked my DH and he has no idea. I wonder if his mom remembers but she's not that great with details so I don't know. I'm hoping for a healthy baby but not too big! eek!
