I sometimes wonder if I'd had a third whether it would have weighed the same, like my body chucks them out as soon as they reach that weight 😂

I'm wincing at some of these!

  1. 6lb 15 (5 days early)
  2. 8lb 5 (3 days late)

Interesting how just about everyone has used pounds and ounces, given that I assume most were officially recorded in kg.

Yes, this is a deeply cultural thing I think. Mine was born in France and his official recorded birth weight was 2.74kg.

I was born in the UK in the mid 1980s and my official recorded birth weight was 3.2kg even though my mum always told me it was 7lbs 3oz.
