With my first son, my midwife told me that from what she has experienced, most firstborn children are born around the same size their mother was at birth.
I was 7 pounds, 7 ounces.
My son was 7 pounds, 7 ounces.
Crazy, right?
How much did you weigh at birth?

I was 6 lbs 4 oz at 42 weeks.
DS was 8 lbs 8 oz at 40 weeks.
That prediction didn't hold true for me...
I agree. DS was 9lbs & I had an easy delivery. Pushed for about a half hour & only had a TINY tear, that only needed 1 "just to be safe" stitch. I had a super easy recovery, I was up walking around as soon as I was allowed & felt fine.
