Childbirth

Those of you who went overdue how much did your baby weigh.....

Compared to any of your other children who were born on time or early?

I am now 41 weeks and starting to worry that I am going to have a huge baby to deliver. My ds was born weighing 5lb 15oz at 39+5 and so I was wondering how much your overdue dc weighed, how far overdue you were and how much did any other dc you gave birth to on time or early weigh in comparison?

DD1 was 18 days over, at 7 lb 3 oz despite scaremongery doctors and MWs telling me she was going to be a very big baby
DD2 was a week late (so early by comparison) and 7 lb 1 oz.

DD1 was 5 weeks early and weighed 6lb 3oz

DS2 was 9 days late & weighed 9lb! He was a doddle though, much easier than DD1. Helped himself out

20 days over, 8lb 12oz. But this baby is also 75th centile (so about the same sort of weight) at 24 weeks pregnant, so I doubt Ds coming so late made him any bigger.

DS was 10 days late and the midwife had already said "You're going to have a big baby". In the end he was 7lb 4oz!
