6ft 1.

DC1 at 41 weeks, 7lbs 5oz
DC2 at 37 weeks, 6lbs

I am intersted in this because despite being really tall I seem to have small babies (that then put on masses of weight - but still aren't very tall!).

I am 5'6.

Three sons, #1 at 38 weeks exactly, 8lb 3, #2 at 40+5, 10lb 11, #3 at 40 weeks exactly, 8lb 12.

#1 and 2 were both measuring 'average' ie 50th centile on every scan (and I had them privately so there were a lot of scans). #3 was measuring 90th centile until about 34 weeks when he started measuring 50th.

My husband is 6'4. My mother is 5'11 and my brother is 6'5.
