Because its Hump day... (yay friday is almost here) and because Mystery1137's Online pregnancy test post got me thinking baby weight...
How much did you and your DH weigh at birth?
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO?

Re: GTKY: How much did you & DH weigh when born?
We were actually just talking about this with our Moms the other day.
I was 6lbs 6 ounces. J was 7lbs 4 ounces. I don't know how big of a role it will play. I won't complain with that though being that J's little brother was a 10 pounder.
I was 7lbs 12oz. I have no idea how much H weighed and he probably doesn't either.
And I don't know...I don't think it really makes a difference.
I was 9 lbs 10 oz. and 22 inches long. I was two weeks late and my parents are both very tall. I am 5'9 today.
DH was only 6 lbs. Both his parents are short. MIL is just under 5 feet. DH is around 5'8 today.
If our weights have anything to do with our future baby, I hope they have his size

How much did you and your DH weigh at birth?- I was 10lbs even and MH was around 9lbs
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO?- I sure hope not, but my MIL have already let me know that all of her kids were big babies so who knows!

How much did you and your DH weigh at birth? DH was 10 lbs 8 oz! I was 8 lbs
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO? I think it did with DD, she was 8 lbs 12 oz and my Dr said my future babies will just get bigger each time!
I weighed 6lbs 14oz and DH weighed almost 9lbs
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO?
DS was more like my weight and was 6lbs 13ozs, thank goodness!
Me: 5 pounds, 9 oz.
DH: No clue. something about 8 pounds rings a bell.
DD: 7 pounds 5 oz
Birth weight is dependent on so many different factors that I don't really think there's a definitive link between the two.

How much did you and your DH weigh at birth? I was 10lbs. 9 oz. and I think DH was around that too, maybe a little smaller. We were both 2+ weeks late too, so that probably plays a role in it.
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO? Maybe, we're both pretty tall so I assume our child/children may be too. Maybe not though because we both have very short family members too so maybe they will get the short genes.
I weighed around 7 lbs, 14 oz. at birth DH was around 6 lbs, 12 oz. (I think).
DD was 7 lbs, 7.5 oz. I don't know if genetics played a role in it. And I gained a lot of weight during PG (45 lbs., though I was underweight when I got PG, so I was still in the acceptable range, and I lost it all within 8 weeks of giving birth). I'm hoping future LO#2 is in the same range as DD was...and also hoping not to gain as much weight next time around.
I was 8lbs 9oz and DH was somewhere over 8lbs. I think it definitely plays a part in what LO will weigh but isn't the biggest determining factor.
How much did you and your DH weigh at birth? I was 8lbs & some oz and he was almost 10lbs.
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO? I would prefer if LO took after me
BFP #2 on 4/12/11, J born on 12/14/11
How much did you and your DH weigh at birth? I was 5lb 12oz and DH was 4lb 11oz (he was 2 weeks early)
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO? assuming they will be around the same
I was 6 lbs 4 oz and came 3 weeks before my EDD
DH was around 8 lbs and was about a week "late"
Lily was 9 lbs 15 oz and came nearly 3 weeks after her EDD
I don't think it makes a difference.
Awww you siggy pic is too cute!!!
DH was something like, 7lbs 7oz. I was a week late, and 5lbs 10.5oz. My family makes little babies.
I have no idea if it'll make a difference when we have kids. We're both really short, and I'm only 120 lbs, so I'm kind of hoping they'll be slightly on the smaller side. But as long as they're healthy and not too big to push out, I'll be happy.
I was 7lbs 8 oz, DH was 9 lbs 15 oz
Our son was 7lbs 11 oz.
I am not really sure if our birthweight had anything to do with Drews. All I hope is that I never have a child as big as my DH.
I was 7 lb 9 oz and I'm not sure how much DH was.
I think a 7 lb baby would be nice.
Make a pregnancy ticker
I dont know exactly but I was a little over 7lbs and my DH was under 7lbs.
But I dont think it makes a difference. It depends if the baby is early or late and so many other factors play a role that I just dont think that has anything to do with it. but if I could have a say in it, I'd hope our LO won't be much more than 7lbs
How much did you and your DH weigh at birth? me 6.6 DH 6.10
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO? My dd was 7.13 bigger than the both of us! I hope #2 is not any bigger than that!
How much did you and your DH weigh at birth? I was 6lb, 6oz. DH was 7lb, 12oz.
Do you think this will play a role in the weight of your future LO? Probably not. My husband and my sister were the same weight, almost. She's 5'3' and 115lb and he's 6'5" and about 280lb. I don't think it has much baring on anything.

OMG that's nuts!
I weighed around 7 lbs and I think the hubs was in the 8-9lb range.
Hopefully our kid would be in the 7-9lb range.
I was 10 something and Dh was just under 6 lbs.
DD was 7.9 lbs so to answer your question IMO I really think it has to do with the size of the woman.
I weighed around 7.5 pounds. I am not sure about DH, but I think it was an average number or lower.
I don't think it will have much of an effect on LO weight as we were both pretty average. I think it would be more likely to play a role if you weighed more or less at birth due to your length if that makes sense.
TTC#1 starting Feb 2011, BFP #1:5/31/11, CP: 6/6/11; BFP #2: 7/9/11, loss confirmed 8/3 with D&C on 8/12 finding complete molar pregnancy. Forced break until Feb 2012. My blog
I was 9lbs 2oz and DH was 7lbs 8oz. I definitely think it will play a role in the weight of our next baby.
DD#1 weighed 7lbs 8oz and DD#2 weighed 9lbs 2oz! Strange coincidence? Possibly. I predict the next baby will be right smack dab in the middle.
I was almost 10 pounds! My hubby was only about 4 1/2 pounds
I sure hope I don't one day have a 10 pound baby...despite my weight at birth I'm very petite!
