MemberI went in for a 36 week sonogram and my baby is already 7lbs!!!
The doc said since I was a big baby ( almost 10lbs) that’s one thing to factor in.
she doubts the baby will be 10lbs but depending on how big or small the parents were,
thats something to factor in.
yikes!!
MemberI think I was a small baby for being nearly two weeks late! I was about 7-8lbs I think.
MemberAbout average/slightly smaller than average? I was 7 lbs 0 oz and I was born on my due date.
MemberI was 5lbs 6oz when I was born 2 weeks early and my son was 8lbs 13oz when he was born right on his due date.
ETA: A week before my son was born the U/S said he was 7lbs 8oz at the most…so clearly their measurements are not always right on. lol
Hostess@Ugoob: I had a good weight to me 9lbs 8 or a little more oz
MemberI was 8lbs 10 oz, but I was a scheduled c-section due to being breach.
Had they waited for natural labour, there’s a chance I’d have matched my sister’s 9lbs 15oz. (and all of her four children were 9lbs+ and she’s a small, thin lady!)
MemberI was 3 weeks early and was 4lbs. Teeny tiny. Hope our baby gets closer than I did!
MemberAverage 7-8 pound big headed baby according to my mom. I was the worst pain wise 😮 (& I have 4 siblings)
Member@Bette_Noire: funny! My mom was a tiny lady too! Poor thing! Lol
MemberI was medium, 7.6 lbs but I wasn’t the only one in there!! My twin brother was 6.7!!! That’s 15 lbs of baby!! Lol my mom must really love us!!
MemberI was 7 lb 4 oz, and born on my due date.

MemberI was 9lb 2oz, born on my due date, and my husband was a similar size. I really, really hope my kids don’t take after us in terms of birth size.

MemberI was just under 6 pounds when I was born, full term. My daughter was over 8 pounds, 2 weeks early.
