MemberI was big – especially considering I was almost 2 weeks early! I think I was 8 lbs. 12 oz. or something like that. I would have been HUGE if I had arrived on my actual due date.
MemberI was 9lbs, 4oz & only 19in long! Picture that haha.
My brother was 10lbs, 4oz & my sister was 9lbs, 5oz! Bless our mother’s heart 😉
Darling Husband was just over 8lbs, I believe, so I don’t think our children will be all that small!!
MemberI was tiny but I was born 6 weeks early. I weighed 1lb 15oz
MemberI was 6 1/2 lbs and my husband was like 3lbs. (31 week preemie twins)
Our son was estimated at around 6 lbs in several ultrasounds in the days before he wad born but he ws 7 1/2 . It caused some complications because that was way too big for me. Hopefully thry will monitor this a bit better this time.
MemberI was a completely average 7 lbs 6 oz and my husband was a small 6 pounder.
MemberI was over 10 pounds, over a week late and born naturally. My poor mother! My brother was easier for her since he was only 7 1/2 pounds and born 3 weeks early.
MemberI think I was about 6 lbs 7 oz, born pretty much right on time. My husband was maybe only slightly bigger than that at his birth.
@Ugoob: Keep in mind that there is a significant margin of error (up to 15%) in estimating baby’s weight before birth. Many doctors err on the side of “caution” and will want to induce/section if that number looks “too big” before your due date, but it is worth taking that margin of error into consideration when making a decision– especially if you haven’t reached your due date yet.
HostessI was 9 lbs 10 oz, but Darling Husband was about 5lbs 2 oz (he was a few weeks premature). This past month I gained 10 lbs and have been eating really healthy, and my midwife said that our little girl is measuring kind of big at 25 weeks. YIKES!
MemberI was 7 lbs 2 oz and about 2 weeks early and Darling Husband was a big 10lbs boy. I really hope our future babies are closer to my birth weight!
MemberI was over 10 lbs. Natural birth. My mom never had another kid. Lol.
MemberI was 8lbs 10 oz which my mom still talks about how big I was. These days though it seems to be kind of average! I was 1 week+ late I believe as well. My little brother was 7lbs 11oz
Memberi guess i was a big baby. 8lbs 8oz 21 inches. i was also a week late. they had to go in there to get me out. i wasn’t giving any signs that i wanted to come out.

MemberI was 8lbs 6oz and my brother was 8lbs 8oz.
One of my ex coworkers had a 12 pound baby!
Member@Ugoob: I was 5 pounds and change but I was 5 weeks early. My son was 7 lbs two days after his due date. They told me he was 7.5 at a 36 week ultrasound, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in that since the margin of error is so high (+/- 2 lbs I think).
