STM's- Baby Weights

MusicFanatic · October 2014

I just had a friend give birth this past week at 35 weeks and her baby was 6lbs 6oz. I had a cousin give birth at 35 weeks about 2 1/2 months ago and had a 4 lbs 3oz baby. One had a NICU stay of 2 weeks and 3 days, the other went home 2 days after birth with her mom, 0 issues. I have friends that had 40 ish week babies that were 7 pounds, and some that were 10 pounds. It's always crazy to me how weight of babies can vary SO much at the same exact weeks. And the health of the babies, too.

So got me curious

You second timers.. talk to me about your babies!

How many weeks were you when you gave birth to your LO's? And how much did they weigh?

DS was born at 37weeks 4 days and weighed 6lbs 12oz.

B was born at 40 weeks 2 days and weighed 8 lbs 7 oz. I was actually quite shocked by her size because my family births 10 lb babies like it's nothin'! My nephew, who was born just 4 months prior to B was 10 lbs 3 oz at 41 weeks.

Edvent · October 2014

My DD was born at 39 weeks and weighed 7lbs 9oz. She was 21 inches long at birth and then "lost" two inches after her poor conehead resolved

I was born early at 35 weeks and weighed 3lbs 14oz (but my mom had PPROM and what sounds like IUGR).

Pips09 · October 2014

My daughter was a preemie. She was born at 30w4 d and weighed 3 lbs 9 oz.

YaMrWhite · October 2014

39w1d and she weighed in at 6lbs 11oz. She's always been tiny too. Never could get a fat roll on her!

Trek3 · October 2014

40+1 for both!!

DD#1 7lb 4oz

DD#2 8lb even

kbl13 · October 2014

DS was born at 39 weeks. 8lbs9oz and 21 inches long.

I was born at 42 weeks. 10lbs4oz and 22 inches long. All natural to a ~100lb mother- talk about a scary birth story to hear all your life! :-O

elleswarth · October 2014

41 weeks, 7 pounds, 11 ounces.

I myself was 9.5 and my husband was only 5.4 (roughly on our due dates), so she was right in between!

Jen524 · October 2014

DD1 was born at 39w3d and weighed 7lbs 4 oz, 19.5 inches long. DD2 was born at 39w6d and weighed 9lbs 1oz, 21 inches long. I sure hope baby #3 doesn't follow the trend of adding almost 2 pounds from previous child's weight.

LaBellaVida · October 2014

Ds1 was born at 39 weeks 3 days. He was 7 lbs 6oz. Had pre e.

Ds2 was born at 39 weeks 1 day. He was 7 lbs 2 oz. No complications.

DS3 was born at 39 weeks 4 days. He was 6 lbs 15 oz. I had GD.

I suspect this one will be between 6.5 lbs to 7.5 lbs.

BookitBoo · October 2014

DS was born at 39 weeks and weighed 8 lbs 16 oz. I had GD.

BackseatDriver · October 2014

honeybeee3 · October 2014

SpaceGirlSpiff · October 2014

I had DS at 40w2d, and he was 6lb 15oz and 20" long

shannjohnston · October 2014

DS was 10 days overdue when I was induced. He was 21.5" and 7lbs. 12oz.

LadyXaverian · October 2014

39w4d when she entered the world at 9 lbs 2 oz. I did not have GD.

I was the same weight when I was born (9.1 or 9.2) and my sister was just under 9 lbs. Big babies run on my side of the family, it seems.

stayhealthy · October 2014

DD was born at 40w1d and weighed 6lb9oz. DS was exactly 40w and he was 9lb4oz. I hope this one is right in between.

idontevenknow · October 2014

I was 40 weeks and 2 days. My Kayleigh weighed 7lbs, 13 oz.

csjsmom · October 2014

DS1 was 41 weeks 2 days and was 7 pounds 5 oz
DS2 was 39 weeks 3 days and was 7 pounds 13 oz

Maebb · October 2014

DS was 39w2d, 8lb10oz

My mom says that I was born at 41w5d, 7lb7oz, but the pregnancy dating technology was not that accurate 30 years ago, so maybe she wasn't actually that far along.

kellyfo14 · October 2014

DD was born at 39 weeks and was 11.1 pounds. No GD just a big baby.
DS (my peanut haha) was born at 39 weeks by RCS and was 9.8 pounds.
We will see what this baby brings! Hoping she is not as big as DD. It was really difficult getting her weight up breastfeeding and we had to supplement for a short time at the hospital.

becks2012 · October 2014

DS1 - 42 weeks, 1 day -8 lbs, 3 oz, 22.5 inches.

DS2 - 41 weeks 6 days, 9 lbs even

llambrose · October 2014

My daughter was born at 39 weeks and weighed 5 lbs 12 oz. I was pretty surprised because 9 lb babies are pretty standard in our family and I had GD which usually causes bigger babies. We actually had to go buy some preemie clothes for her to wear the first week or so. She was perfectly healthy though and gained weight pretty quickly.

efujan · October 2014

DS was born 35 wks 4 days, 5 lbs 15 oz.

DH & I were both bigger babies. My OB & I were betting whether DS was going to be under or over 9 lbs (I had the over), but since we went early, we'll never know!

ETA - also, 14 days in NICU (standard practice @ our hospital for any baby born before 37 weeks) until his temp stayed up on its own & he got the feeding thing down.

AlfiesMOM · October 2014

39 weeks and she was 7lbs 11oz!

Mom2anAngel2 · October 2014

DS was born at 39+1 and was 7lbs 5oz.

motherboy · October 2014

DS was born on 40w 2d weighing in at 8 lb 11 oz. I'm a bad mom and have forgotten how long he was. :-S

mmooki · October 2014

Dd was born at 33w3d and was 5lbs 12oz

I was 2 weeks late and was 6lbs 2oz

Dh was born on his due date and was around 7.5lbs

cassied7 · October 2014

I was induced at 39w 2d due to HELLP. DS came at 39w 4d at 7lbs 7oz. It's amazing how different everyone is.

mandikins27 · October 2014

DD1 39 weeks 8 lbs

DD2 36.5 weeks 7 lbs

DD3 37.5 weeks 9!!! lbs

had severe HG for all of them and I can eat and do eat any and everything with this one... im fully expecting him to be 20lbs

letsgox · October 2014

DD was a due date baby and weighed 6 lb 13 oz.

I had multiple scans up to that point due to low AFI and the estimate was 8 lb at the last one, but they do say it can be off a pound either way.

nah82 · October 2014

#1 born at 39 weeks (natural labor) = 7 lbs. 11oz.
#2 born at 39 weeks (induced) = 7 lbs. 2 oz.

I had hbp and was on bp meds for both.

storm08 · October 2014

DS was born at 37 weeks, 8 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches

Eyefrog · October 2014

#1 was 41w5d 9lbs 14oz

#2 was 40w4d 9lbs 3.5oz

#3 was 40w3d 9lbs 12oz

#4 was 39w5d 9lbs 11oz

#5 was 39w6d 10lbs 5oz

#6 was 39w5d 9lbs 4oz

#7 was 40w 8lbs 15.5oz

side note I had always said if we ever had a girl I didn't expect her to be over 9lbs because in my brain little girls are meant to be smaller than boys....she was .5oz below 9lbs. Doc was like quick weigh before she pees. they were all roughly between 21" and 22" I did not have GD with any. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 were all scheduled inductions, #2 and #3 water broke then had to be augmented.
