How big was your LO? Clicky.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's birth stories. After spending so much time worrying if our LOs were too big or too small, let's see how it all shook out. [Poll]

My LO was 8lbs 6oz. We had an u/s down the afternoon I was admitted into the hospital. They predicted 7 - 7 1/2 lbs. Just a tad off. Stick out tongue

The best part is, when I had my growth u/s at 30ish weeks at the specialist, they predicted between 8 - 8 1/2 lbs. They were spot on and it was an earlier u/s. Go figure!

DS was 6 pounds, 9 ounces - smaller than the OB's guess of 7 to 8 pounds, but not totally unexpected since they were worried around 30 weeks he'd be small.

He was up to 6 pounds, 11 ounces by his one week check-up, but even newborn outfits are still pretty big on him.

I voted 9-10, but DS was actually 10 lbs 15 ounces at birth, so I probably should have checked SS, but I didn't think of it until after I voted.

Ahhh, you have a little peanut. My guy barely fit into newborn outfits and the handful that he did fit into, he has out grown already. Crying He is now 10lbs 5oz. He is just growing so quick. It's true when people tell you enjoy them while you can. They don't stay small forever. Stick out tongue

I was told for weeks that I was measuring big and freaked out a little bit. She ended up being 6lb 4oz and born at full term. Shows you what they know

My LO was born wieghing in at 5 lbs even. She was born 4 weeks early. She couldn't fit into newborn size clothes, had to wear preemies. Now she fits into newborns perfectly. She is 5 weeks old today and is now 6 lbs 4 oz.
