To think I may have had the worlds biggest baby!!?

[thinkjessicarabbit]

My DS was very recently born weighing 11lbs 5oz

Seriously!

Anyone know of any bigger???

The midwives were certainly shocked! (as was I expecting a 9lb-er from a growth scan!

DS2 was 11lb 3oz -We got the celebrity treatment on the ward too with all the med students, midwives, doctors coming to have a look!

DS1 was only 8lb 13oz so it was quite a shock! But labour was less than 3 hours start to finish so can't complain.

I feel massively inadequate - I daren't have another as mine just keep getting smaller - but rest in the knowledge that both mine put together don't weigh far off what yours was!

(6lb 5oz and 5lb 10oz)

DS was 10lb 6oz... currently pregnant with no. 2 and am assuming that it'll be bigger :)

mum has delivered some 13lb+ babies.

a friend of mine had an 11lb 12oz baby... at home!

totally unexpected

My mate gave birth to a rather large baby

15lb 2oz

One of my sisters babies was 11 lb 8. DH's mum told me his Dad was 1 st

I was 7 pounds 6 but was born at 35 weeks so god knows how's big i would have been born later ( was delivered early because if previous stillbirth) mine have all been fairly weedy the smallest 5 pounds 8 the biggest 7 pounds 13.

Congrats btw!!

My first child, DS, was 12lb 12oz. He was 2 weeks overdue. GINORMOUS, but cute

Then I had twins, born over a month prem weighing 5lb 11oz and 5lb 12oz... so together not weighing the same as their brother...

my wee bro was just under 13lbs at birth (my mum had him by CS).he was something of a celeb as the hospital had never had a baby that big for a long time!! the twins that were born on the same day (and who were in his class at school) didnt even weigh as much as him put together!

we have a picture of us together when he was about 6mths and i was 3-we were roughly the same size.

had never hadnt

Wow. I thought 8lb 1oz DD was big!

My mum was 14lb exactly at birth.

This was in 1938. Gran had home birth - no pain relief!

Mum told me this when I was pregnant (thanks Mum!)- because my consultant kept telling me I was having "big" twins
My twins were only 11 lb 12ounces put together!

My FIL was 13lb 8oz DH was 9lb 8oz and DS was 10lb 5oz in comparison DD was a tiddler at 8lb 4oz!

anyone else reading this with their legs closed- tightly??

YES vajazzHands!! was just thinking that (particulary as Im 27 weeks pregnant... )

my ds was 11lb 11oz and was 2 foot long, he is now an absolutely rubbish eater and as skinny as a rake.

I have a friend who weighed 12 lbs 2 oz when born (naturally). She was 2 weeks late.

She's now 5' 3" and a size 6 .

Apparently her mum's obstetrican used her picture as a teaching case study for 25 years, and then delivered a 14lbs baby and lost interest in her

Wow well done thinkjessicarabbit!

My DS was 10lb and 3 weeks late and back-to-back which was quite bad enough...

My DS was 11 pounds 7 and induced at just over 38 weeks because of pre eclampsia. God only knows what he would have weighed if he'd gone full term.

My 3rd child seemed massive after my older two!

6lb 12oz
6lb 14oz
7lb 9oz.

Snap stranded so was my dd 6lb 10 back to back.It was an awful experience.I'm just glad she wasn't any bigger as I had a 2nd degree tear with her.

Congratulations.

They do say though- as others have confirmed on here - that bigger babies are actually easier to give birth to because of gravity and what's difficult is babies with big head circumferences or malpositioned babies.

They say a lot though and to me it sounds bloody amazing.

Good loord!

congrats anyhoo :)
