Hi,
Not technically childbirth but...
Is baby birth weight hereditary? My mum weighed 8lb 71/2oz, I was 8lb 7oz, my brother was 8lb 2oz. My mum's sister who is a but neater built than my mum had a boy at 7lb 10oz.
Should I expect a baby at a similar sort of weight? I am smaller boned than my mum so I am hoping maybe about 7lb 6oz - 8lb.
No idea if this is totally illogical or not.
What has everyone else's experiences been?
Thanks
xx
