Compared to any of your other children who were born on time or early?

I am now 41 weeks and starting to worry that I am going to have a huge baby to deliver. My ds was born weighing 5lb 15oz at 39+5 and so I was wondering how much your overdue dc weighed, how far overdue you were and how much did any other dc you gave birth to on time or early weigh in comparison?

Ds was 2 days late according to my dates, but 2 days early according to scan dates and weighed 7lb 13oz.
Dd was 7 days late and weighed 7lb 15oz.

DS1 - 2 weeks over and 8lb 13oz
DS2 - 4 days over and 8lb 11oz
DS3 - on due date and 8lb 10oz

didn't make a lot of difference!

purplemonkeydishwasher · 02/09/2008 13:06

This one due in 4wks, do hope he is on time and a bit smaller than dd!

Lizzzombie · 02/09/2008 14:38

Overdue 10 days = DS was 8lbs5oz. (apparently that is the average baby weight in the UK??)

tamarto · 02/09/2008 14:43

DS1 - 10 days over 10lb 2oz
DS2 - 11 days over 9lb 10oz
DD1 - 14 days over 7lb 3oz

Don't mean to frighten you but I had a DS 8 4 lb at 37 weeks. Was on track for a 10-11 lber

mosschops30 · 02/09/2008 14:49

This will cheer you up:

ds was 15 days overdue, induced and still only weighed in at 7lbs 8ozs

OFSTEDoutstanding · 02/09/2008 15:00

Ok thanks everyone, went for a sweep today and nothing happening yet have been booked in for an induction next Monday if nothing happens before then. Midwife had a feel today and said that there is no way dd will be as small as ds but she doesn't think it is the 12lb baby I am starting to imagine!!!

ds - 10 days over - 6lbs 15
dd - 10 days over - 9lbs

in my experience, size didn't matter at all when it came to giving birth. ds: lots of problems, forceps delivery. big and bouncy dd: easy peasy water birth.

good luck!

FruitynNutty · 03/09/2008 10:36

12 days over - 9lb 12 (was told not a big baby)

I've told this one to stop growing at 7/8 lbs and to come on time!
My friend's baby was over a week over due and had a 6 pounder. She's so tiny and cute, I'd love to have a proper new born baby.

MrsMcJnr · 06/09/2008 21:53
