Shorter mums and weight of baby at birth

[Cosmogirl]

Just curious as to whether the mother's and father's height affects the weight of a newborn. I'm 5.2 and DH is 6.2 - I was 6lbs5 at birth he was 8lbs..... Any short mums out there who can share their experiences? I'm banking on the logic that mother nature wouldn't allow women to grow a baby that was too big for them...

I'm 5 ft 2, dh is 6 ft.

DS was 6lb 10oz, but was 2 weeks early.

I'm 5ft, DH 6ft 2

DS1 - 7lb 5oz
DS2 - 7lb 11oz
DS3 - 7lb 6oz.

HOWEVER, I have a friend who is 5ft 2, DH 6ft, her first DS was 9lb something or other, and her 2nd was 10lb 11oz!!!

I'm 5ft 3
Dh 6ft 4

dd1 8lb2
dd2 7lb3

im 5ft2" dp 5ft6"ish
dd was born 8lb5oz
she has her height done with her weight, and has always been tall for her age weight

I'm 5' 0
DH 6' 3

DD1 - 8lbs 2 - Emergency C-section
dd2 - 8lbs 8 - Elective c-section (on consultant's advice)

I'm 5ft
DH is 5ft 10
DS was 7lb 2

im 5ft3, dh 5ft11

ds1 8lb 2oz
dd1 8lb 8oz
dd2 5lb 7oz (5weeks early)
ds2 7lb 5oz

I'm 5-2, DH is 5-6 at a push and all 4 were over 8lbs - DS 3 being 8.15.

me 5'4"
him 6'
DS 8lbs 13

i am 5'3" ish! dh is 6'2"
baby # 1 7lbs.9oz
baby # 2 12lbs.9oz (yes you read it right!
baby # 3 10lbs. 8.5oz
baby # 4 10lbs. 12oz
baby # 5 10lbs. 14oz
baby # 6 2lbs. 14oz (born 12 weeks prem)

so huge variation between 6 children although they all have same parents...nature can be very strange!

OMG RoseQuartz!!!!!!! You've made my eyes water!!!

i wasn't sure if i was gonna push the baby into the world or push myself out of it!!!!ouch!! I bet the doctor has been deaf ever since!!

I'm 5'1

dd1 7lb6oz (t+7)(her Dad about 5'10)

then with dh at 6'3"

dd2 10lb 6 (t+16)
dd3 9lb 2 (t)
dd4 9lb 12 (t+14)

TBH my big girls were very long and still had little heads and narrow shoulders and wever easy 2nd stages.

Cosmo - hope this helps...

Me 5ft 2, small-ish build.
DH 6ft4, huge build.

dc1 5lb 11oz
dc2 5lb 8oz
dc3 6lb 8oz

All 40 weeks +

Hwr, I was only 5lb at birth, so I assumed as a small baby myself, I would have small babies too...

I WAS worried that I would have huge babies when I was pg with dd1, hwr, in the end I had scans as they thought she was too small. All 3 were 'small for dates' and 'suspected IUGR' on my notes, but in reality, were just perfect for me. I did notice the difference between babies 2 and 3 when they were in utero though lol! That extra lb inside is a lot when you are used to small babies, although it made no difference coming out .

I'm 5ft 2 dd dad is 5ft 9 dd was born at 38+5 days weighing 6.7 pounds.

I'm a little under 5 foot, I was 7lb 15oz at birth. My DH is 6'2" and he weighed 8lb 4oz at birth. My DS was 8lb 8oz, so bigger than either of us - but he was 15 days late which might have had something to do with it!
