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.

I'm 5ft 2in tall, DD was born at 38 weeks, weighing 5lb 15oz

HappyIdiot · 21/12/2015 15:20

5ft 3

DD born at 40+4 (although was in labour from 40+2)

I had been for a lot of growth scans because I was way off the top of the fundal height centile charts, predicting massive baby.

DD was a very normal 8lb 2oz Confused
