High BMI mamas, how much did your baby weigh at birth?

Just wondering how much your babies weighed at birth if you were classed as overweight/obese during pregnancy Smile

My BMI at booking was 37.5 and baby measuring on the 90th centile based on measurements of my stomach/fundal height (haven't had any growth scans). Slightly concerned I'm going to have a whopper Blush

Thanks ladies x

Hi OP.

I had a reasonably high BMI before and throughout my pregnancy. Had a number of extra scans as (weirdly) they said my bump measured small. Scans told me every time I was having a whopper and at 36 weeks they predicted DD would be a 10lb'er.

She arrived 40+3 at a lovely 7lb 10oz. She was very long so I think that messed the predictions up.

To be honest, I find the measurements they do really unreliable.

BMI around 35 first time, baby 7lb 2 41+1, they said he was small for gestational age.
Second baby BMI 31ish 8lb, 42+1.
I'm pregnant again, BMI back up to 35ish so will see.
