DH is 6’4” and well built. He was not a large baby himself and DS was a perfectly average 7lb7oz.

DH is 6’4 and was under 7lbs at birth. Our first baby is due in 10 or so weeks, currently sitting on the 50th centile so perfectly average size. I’m 5’7” so genetically baby should end up pretty tall but no signs of her being large yet.

Dad is 6'1, mum was 5'2. I am 5'10 but weighed 6lb2 when born (a couple of weeks overdue). Apparently I was very long and thin 😁

My friend is 5ft 11 and her husband 6ft 4. Baby was 10lbs, and is so tall and growing like a weed

My mum was 5ft 9, dad 6ft 2 and I was 4lb Blush
I'm now 5ft 10

my first’s dad was short and not a big baby born. My dd from him was 7lb 1. My second husband is 6ft 2 and 10lb born. Dd2 was 7lb 1 at exactly the same gestation. I think it can just be how you grow them.
