I'm anxious I'm going to have to deliver some sort of 12lb beast!
Our first baby was born with various conditions so her birth weight of 5lbs 12 wasn't fitting to my size.. Now with number 2 I'm told all is average for my size and I'm going to have a much bigger baby.. Ranging from 6lbs 14 to 9lbs. My labour with dd was rank and horrific, I'm panicking it'll be ten times worse with a giant baby!

I'm a size 12, 5ft 5. DC1 was 7lb12oz and DC2 8lb 6oz. The heavier one was a much easier birth.

My mum is 4'11" and she had me weighing in at over 9lbs (and I was 10 days early). She's slim too. My dad is average at 5'11". I wouldn't worry about it too much, not much you can do about it now anyway!
