10lbs is my biggest. Beaten already!

PrettyCandles · 05/08/2007 14:48

Ds2 - 11lb.

The others were good sizes, too, but he was a corker!

nutcracker · 05/08/2007 14:52

Mine were all smalish but not the smallest i'm sure.

Dd1 6lbs 8oz

Dd1 4lbs 14oz

Ds 5lbs 14oz

sparklygothkat · 05/08/2007 14:52

Ds= 5lb 2 oz
Dd1 3lb 12 oz
Dd2 3lb 8oz

lulumama · 05/08/2007 14:59

Dd was 6lb 5oz - so not a contender.

So far:

Biggest 11lb
Smallest 3lb 8oz

tigerschick · 05/08/2007 15:14

Oh, and, I second that [OUCH!]

Tutter · 05/08/2007 15:14

someone in the village had twins at 24 weeks - both were

Tutter · 05/08/2007 15:15

(neighbour, not twins, i mean )

MrsWeasley · 05/08/2007 15:17

DS 11lb&1oz

Mercy · 05/08/2007 15:20

Sparklygothcat and nutcracker - were your tiny babies premature (I assume the 3lbers were!) or just very small?

dd was 3 days early and weighed 5lb 9oz

PrettyCandles · 05/08/2007 15:22

Aksherly, his was the easiest birth of the three, and - get this - no stitches

Beaten by a Weasley!

WanderingTrelawney · 05/08/2007 15:24

Blimey pc do you have a rubber fanjo?!

lullamay · 05/08/2007 15:31

DS 11 lbs7oz not a natural birth.

tigerschick · 05/08/2007 15:43

So, now it is:

Biggest - 11lb 7oz!
Smallest - 3lb 8oz!

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 05/08/2007 15:44

Mozhe's no. 6 must be in the running for smallest - can't remember what it was though (I'd ask her but I think she's still windsurfing, paragliding and waterskiing on the backs of untethered sharks in St Barts)

All my DCs were 8lb-something so no prizes for me.

BHANNAE · 05/08/2007 16:51

I had a 12lb 8oz boy in 2005 near 4 weeks early.
Also a 9lb girl in 2000.
Big babies on both sides of the family-dh bro was 13lbs!
Am due in September this year but will be having db in August-wish me luck lol

tigerschick · 05/08/2007 16:55

WOW!!!

12lb 8oz??!!

Please tell me that wasn't natural delivery

MrsWeasley · 05/08/2007 17:13

prettycandles: i didnt have any stitches either but then again when I arrived at the hospital all I kept saying was "I dont want stitches" everytime anyone asked how I was

Now bhannae's ds makes ours sound tiny

BHANNAE · 05/08/2007 19:25

Not natural thank goodness lol
c-section due to breech and urgency to get him out as scan showed him to be 6lbs the day before delivery and doppler flow said he wasnt getting enough nutrients
Will be having a natural delivery with this one if I go into labour before my c-s date and had normal delivery with dd.
Estimated weight of this one at recent scan was 11lbs and by the time i get to c-s date baby will probs be approx 13lbs.Dont even want to think about term size lol.
As I am having a girl she should be a touch smaller than ds but needless to say I have stocked up on 6-9mth babygros just in case
