Anyone want to predict baby's birth weight?

mobile: Anyone want to predict their baby's birth weight, either specific or a range?

Just for fun of course. My babies have been on the bigger side so far (9lb 2oz and 8lb 4oz, both at 39w, no GD). So for this boy, baby #3, my guess is 8.5-9lbs (still no GD). I honestly don't think I will have a baby less than 8lb. DH would have been huge at birth if he had gone to term, but he was *apparently* 6 weeks early and he was 7lb 7oz...MY own full term birth weight. Wild. He's 6'2" and I'm average.

DD was 6lb5oz, DS was 6lb11oz, I dont expect the twins to be over 6lb and I am going to guess 5lb5oz and thats if they stay in there until 38 weeks.

I'm a FTM but I personally was 6 lbs 12 oz and DH was around 7 I think so I predict she'll be between 6 and 6 lbs. kind of hoping I'm right...don't know if I can handle a baby much bigger than that!

Jumpin off my post.... I'm guessing about 7lbs to 7.5. I was 6lbs 11oz but I am adopted and have no clue about my birth if I was early or late or if my birth my had any health issues or what not... DH was on time and 7lbs 2oz... So I'm thinking in the 7lb range.

#1 was 9lbs 1oz, 8 days late

#2 was 10lbs 2 oz, 1 day late

#3 was 8lbs 10oz, 8 days early

All induced for size. This one will be induced a week early if she continues to measure big as well. I'm guessing 9 pounds something.

I'm anticipating an 8lb + baby, as that seems to be the norm in my family and DHs

Apparently they say your first baby is usually the same as you were when you were born, although not sure if that's true or not being a FTM. Has STM found this? I'm guessing mine will be a large 9.5 to 10 pounds!

Not me! As posted above, I was 7lb 7oz an my first was 9lb 2oz.

I'm praying the stay in there baking until both are at least 4lbs!

I sort of don't want to think about it! DD was 5 lbs 15 oz. But this little girl is measuring big already - almost two weeks ahead of my EDD. That might mean she is a bigger baby or its just a fluke of the u/s measurement (I charted so its not a fluke of dating). Regardless, I'm hoping she is smaller because DD literally tore me a new vaganus down there and I'd prefer not to go through that again!

DS was 36w 4d and 6lbs 11 oz

DD was 38w 6 lbs 15.5 oz

I'm assuming this one will be around the same.

When we were having the GD talk, my midwife told me all about this woman she had as a patient, who gave birth to her fourth 11lb + baby, vaginally with no drugs. She didn't have GD (they tested her each pregnancy), she just always had giant babies. O.o giant. giant. giant babies.

DS was 7lbs 5oz but I'm guessing this one will be closer to 8 lbs.

Isn't it amazing how a small baby can tear you a new vaganus? DS did the same and he was 6 pounds 10 ounces. Go figure!

DS was 10lbs 5oz 1 week late
DD was 8lbs 7oz 1 week early

I'm thinking this little boy will be 9lbs 8oz

DD was 7lb6oz at 38w5d. Me and DH were both around 8lb. I'm thinking this one will come before her due date so I'm guessing 7lbs12oz.

Zmommy2 · June 2013

DD was 8lbs2oz and was 5 days early. I have an issue thinking this baby will not be anything different so I'm assuming 5 days early and around 8 lbs again, lol.
