dd1 6lb 1/2oz emergency caesar 2 weeks early

dd2 - 9lb 7oz 10 days late - caesar

DOn't know about big babies - she seems to eat well but the sleeping is a bit irregular - mind you she is just a week and a half old

friend of mine - 12lb 2 oz - gas and air ouch!! Her husband used to remind me of it all the time when I was pregnant... and told me how hard it was... ( like he would know!!)

ds was 6lbs 6oz (3 weeks early) by c/s, on Halloween - still looking for the third '6' ......!!!!!!

zaphod · 24/11/2004 22:53

ds1 - 6lb 10oz, ds3 - 9lb 15oz, but strangely ds4 was only 7lb 10oz. I thought each baby was normally a little bigger than the last.

mouseman · 24/11/2004 22:56

10lb 13oz and 8 days early

mykidsmum · 24/11/2004 22:56

ds 2 9 lbs at 38 weeks

bonkerz · 24/11/2004 23:00

My ds was 8lb 4oz.

I was told this was very big for my pelvis and it was touch and go for a c section but i did it naturally with the help of ventousse!

linnylambe · 24/11/2004 23:07

OMG...... thought id had big babies till i read all of these.. 12lb, oh man didn't think it'd be possible!!
DD 8lb 12 oz
DS 9lb 2oz
and man it was pretty tough pushing them out!!
cringing here at the thoughts of pushing baby over 12lb out..OMG!!!!

nightowl · 25/11/2004 02:28
