5ft 8 &1.2

Dd 6lb 1 @ 39 +4

Ds 9 lb 10 induced @ 40 +12

Labour with Dd was nothing short of horrific, surprisingly after much worrying labour with Ds was enjoyable apart from being immobile due to monitors.

BlingBubbles · 20/12/2015 22:01

5'6 here and DD was born at 40+4 weighing in at 7lbs6 and 56cm.
DS was born at 41weeks and 7lbs4 and 52cm.

ClityClityBangBang · 20/12/2015 22:01

I was 5'5 when I had DS1. He was dragged out at 40+15, weighing 8lb7oz, most of it head and shoulders, I think.

DS2 flew out at 40+4, weighing 7lb5oz.

I have no idea if I was still 5'5, then, but I'm 5'4, these days :o

ouryve · 20/12/2015 22:40

sorry - 40+16 for DS1. He really was a stubborn little so and so.
