Nosy question only answer if feel comfortable.

I am 5ft.
My first child was 6lb 4oz at 39 weeks.
I did have pre-eclampsia though.

Now I am 32 weeks with DC2 and so far no problems.
Estimated delivery size 8lbs.
Just interested in others experiences.

6' tall

DS 40+14 11lb 2oz

Second heaviest baby on the thread, but the one heavier above was ELCS, so heaviest VB so far. I assumed there would be a weight correlation but there doesnt seem to be a strong one, can't imagine trying to get out a 10lb+ baby if you are only 5' tall. Ouch.

I'm from a tall family but am the shortest

5 ft 8"
DS1 - 6lb 5oz at 37+6
DS2 - 6lb at 38+2

They were both only 46cms.

My sister is 5ft 10" and DNiece was only 5lb 10oz.

We just have very petite babies. Even at 4 years and 20 months respectively, my boys are lean and small.

I'm just shy of 5'3". DD was born at 40+12 (induced, then EMCS due to her big head and awkward presentation) weighing 8lb 2oz - very similar gestation and birth weight to me, and my mum!

I'm interested to see if DC2 will follow the same pattern...
