Me - 9lbs 12 (I think) at 42+4 (according to my mum)

DD1 - 5lbs 11! (at 41+3)

(DH was a 6lb baby though, I think there may be a link there)

expatinscotland · 20/04/2008 23:10

dd1 was 7lbs., 1 oz.

dd2 was 6lbs., 9oz.

MrsJohnCusack · 20/04/2008 23:56

I was 9lb 6 (and brother and sister were well over 9 lbs too)
DD was 9lb 14, DS was 10lb 5

my mother was 10lbs at birth and all her siblings were around that weight too.
clearly we have large babies in our family...

DH was a tiddler of 6 lbs something

dd: 6lb 2oz

elkiedee · 21/04/2008 00:00

I was 8lb 2 oz I think (over 8lb I know) and younger brother and sister were over 8lb - all late, I believe I was 18 days late. So I was quite surprised to find ds was only 7 lb 7 oz - he was late as well.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 21/04/2008 00:01

DH was 8lb 7oz i think and was at least 3 weeks overdue.

I was a week early (possibly two)

DD was two weeks over
DS was 5 days early.

The only defining factor was that my mum smoked in pg and I didnt.

duchesse · 21/04/2008 00:10

bubblagirl · 21/04/2008 07:51

i was prem twin as well 8 weeks early i think

gillaz · 21/04/2008 07:59

I'm rather terrified as I was 5lb, my husband was 7lb and we are both small (Pre pregnancy I was a 8 stone size 8 and my husband is only about 10 stone)but we are due to have a giant next week. Midwife keeps mentioning 'at least 9lb' and when she plots the size of my uterus on the line graph I'm starting to head away from the upper line.

Aaaaaargh - how the hell have we managed to make a giant baby?

duchesse · 21/04/2008 09:22

gillaz- try not to worry too much - they can get those estimated birthweights surprisingly wrong. My third child was supposed to be an IUGR 5 lber according to all the medical personnel I saw during her over-managed gestation- she came out as I'd expected at 7lb 9 oz. (consultant said 6 lb a week before she was born, I said between 7.5 and 8 lbs...)

Swedes · 21/04/2008 09:29

Me 8lb 7oz -
DS1 9lb 9oz 41 weeks emergency c-section
DS2 9lb 9oz 40 weeks to the day VBAC
DD1 8lb 38 weeks elective c -section
DS3 8lb 38 weeks elective c-section

Hulababy · 21/04/2008 09:32

I was 7lbs something AFAIK and born a couple of weeks early; no more than 7.5lbs I don't think.

DD was 6lb 15oz and born 2 weeks overdue.
