how big were your babies?

[AnnieW625]

One of my childhood best friends just had her second daughter and she was 9lbs., 10 oz, and her first daughter was 10lbs even. I am just amazed. This friend and I are about the same size and my babies were 6lbs, 6oz, and 6lbs, 3 oz. . DD1 was 12 days early, and DD2 was 8 days early and weighed 3 oz. less. Both were 19" long. They looked like the newborn shot of my friend's baby at about 6-8 weeks old, ESP. DD1.

Both my girls were about 39 week (scheduled c-sections) and weighed 7lbs 5oz and 7lbs 4 oz. They were 1/2" difference in length.

DD1 was 3 days late and was 7lb 7oz. DD2 was 3 days early and was 8 lb 2oz.

DS was 8.2, born on his due date.
DD was 6.15, born five days early.

I was a ten pounder but I was two weeks late.

Both mine were 38 weekers.

DS1 was 7lbs 15oz

DS2 was 8lbs 10oz


If I had made it to 40 weeks I'm sure they would have each been 9+ lbs.

DS was born two days after EDD: 9lbs 4oz, 22"

DD was born one day before EDD: 9lbs, 20"

I don't know whether this is relevant info, but I'm average height (5'4" ) and build and was 7lbs 7oz, 19.75" at birth. DH is slightly above-average height (6'2" ) and slender build and was 9lbs 6oz, 22" at birth. My babies definitely take after their daddy! During my pregnancies I gained 29 & 30 lbs, respectively.

DS had always trended the same as DH on the growth charts. Tall & skinny.

DD is... Big. LOL! She was 20lbs and 27"+ at 6mo. I was kind of a tank, too, but never as big as she is and I leveled off around preschool.

ETA: no GD for me, either. Both unmedicated vaginal births. Two stitches with DS and no tearing with DD. I felt awesome after I had her!

he was 1lb 9.8 oz.

A true fighter!!

My twins were 6lbs 8oz and 6lbs 11oz (38 weeks) and my son was 8lbs 9oz (39 weeks).

DS was 7lbs & 9 oz, 21 half inches tall. He was 7 days late.

His length took us back, as I'm short at 5'3" and DH is 5'8". It turns out the makes in my moms side are ALL tall, well over 6 feet with some topping out at 6'5".

Now I can really see it in DS, as he often looks like a 3 year old if you're not interacting with him before realizing he's not even close to that age.

He stands at 34 & half inches talk at his 15 months check-up!
