Third trimester weight estimates are wildly inaccurate as a good OB will tell you. My daughter was born at 40+ weeks after canceling two c-sections while we waited for her to come out on her own (VBAC) and finally went in and got her. The estimates were all over ten pounds and my OB said they could be far less and she was -8.5 lbs.

No experience with C-sections, but the smallest of my DCs was almost 9 lbs. All were sturdy babies and good sleepers.

Thanks everyone. Mopey was 7.14lbs and almost 23" so yes I guess I have tall babies! Hubby and I are both tall too. This baby's head is down - has been for over two weeks now. I can feel/see the feet pushing my boobs, etc. Pretty funny. I have a few more questions for the doc and will see about changing anything up but good & glad to know all this
