Wow! Respect to you and your elastic fanjo!

MehgaLegs · 08/05/2008 12:51

And I thought pushing out DS3 at an ounce under 11lbs was bad enough.

You are amazing.

Wow, Nosnik, way to go, girl.
Excellent choice on the name, btw (fellow owner here of a chunky Tristan).

Galmum · 08/05/2008 18:01

My god.....I thought the fact I pushed out my daughter at 10lbs 8oz was huge with only a small tear an no need for stitches was impressive!! What a woman!

LilRedWG · 08/05/2008 18:04

Tip of the week!! Don't try bf on its own with a 12 + pounder, its futile, and you will never sleep!!! I'm shattered!! 2 oz of formula at 12:30pm.........ahhh peace at last!!!

Well done, and welcome to Tristan

One point though, surely pizzas are delivered and babies are birthed? Something you did, not the som

enjoy your new baby

Thought I would bring this post up for 3 reasons

  1. I am feeling crap and I wanted to re-read it to cheer me up, though someone else might say something nice!!
  1. because I trawled this site when I was pregnant to find big baby stories cos I was TERRIFIED after being warned I would have a 10 lber!! So this post might cheer someone else up.
  1. Because I wanted to give an update on Tristan's size, he is now 7 months and 22lbs!!!!!!! LOL

what are you feeling crap about? I haven't had any size baby yet, so can't really relate, but didn't want to leave you unanswered?

12lb 5oz !!!

Thats twice the weight that my DD was and that was hard enough.

Well done you, and congratulations

littleboyblue · 29/11/2008 22:46

Wow. Are you still walking? Huge!!
Well done you.

JustNobody · 29/11/2008 22:48

I had a 10lb 5 oz at Frimley - must be something in the water! You ok?

lauraloolajinglesalltheway · 29/11/2008 22:48

I think its great that you had a big baby naturally And only 3 stitches, my dd was 7lb 1oz and I had loads of stiches! He seems to be doing really well.

Can I ask if you have other children and what weights they were?

FriendNeedsHelp · 29/11/2008 22:49

O...M...G! I didn't even know you could have babies bigger than 11 lbs!

Well done for seven months ago, and even weller done for how you and little Tristan are getting on .

NorbertDentressangle · 29/11/2008 22:50

oops sorry, just realised its an old thread that you've come back to.

Sorry you're feeling a bit crap at the moment. It sounds like you need a bit of a boost. Its quite common to have phases of feeling a bit flat but it should pass.

Arrange to do something nice next week (with a friend or DH/DP, with or withot DC) but make sure its a treat.

My first baby was 9lb 2 oz! 12lber was my 2nd!

I was fine justnobody, just 3 stitches and I couldn't wee for about 3 hours! My hips were a bit dodgy cos they had to ram my legs back to un stick his shoulders!! Lucky I'm bendy!

Thank you everyone. I also hope this message reaches someone else who is panicking about a 'biggy'. It is possible xxx I have to go to bed now, I'll probably be up again in an hour!

Night night xxx

My little son is the same age as yours he was only 9lbs, a tiddler compared with your little Tristan. He also is hungry and doesn't sleep much during the day or night.

I feel bad sometimes, tired, and fed up of my messy house, especially now it's not so nice to get out and about.

I really hope you're OK. You did fab to have such a big baby yourself.

SleighGirl · 29/11/2008 23:05

Nosnik, well done you girl! Makes my 10lb 6er look tiny but I have to add she was exc bf & slept through the night pretty early on so I guess it's geneitcs not birth size!

Baby ploitics enough to bring anyone down!
