What weight was baby when born

marti101

I have always wondered what weight were other peoples babies.Its one of the first things i ask.Also if you have more than one was there much difference in weight.Like 1 baby was 6lb and next baby was 10 lbs.My ds 1 was 8lb 12 ozs,ds 2 was 8lb 10 and ds3 was 9lb 1 so not much difference there between them.

Ok well I'll kick this one off! 11lbs 11oz. No joke. And yes, he was a c section before you all ask!

Second Daughter 10lb 10lb
Third Son 11lb 15oz

Whaaaaat? The poor woman! I'm 5'2" and hubby is 6'2". Son 1 was 9 1/2 lb and was still jammed after 20 hours. Had an emergency c. Had a cs for the twins as well.

crosstownk

1st (daughter) was 3.8kg (8lb 6oz) and was delivered by C-section, 15 days late.
2nd (son) was 4.2kg (9lb 4oz) also C-section and 10 days late.

silja

I had twins born at 38+5, the boy was 7.4 and the girl 6.6 pounds when born. Most of his extra weight was the head, which was huge! Almost made me glad I ended up with a c-section because they wouldn't budge.

(11,27 doesn't make sense but I was fairly out of it!)

Same thing happened here. The midwife tried to convert his weight from kg using the wall chart and initially misread it as something like 12lb .....

marti101

deisemum

Son 1 was born 15 days early and was 7lbs. 7oz and I didn't have as much as a puff of gas and air, not through choice

Son 2 was born 4 weeks early weighed 7lbs. 6oz.

Speaking of mother in laws, in the last few weeks before I had son 1 she kept on and on about how horrific labour is trying to frighten the sh1te or the baby out of me.

lolly22

Daughter born on her due date and eventually came out pretty quick,
when I was told I would need a c-section if I didnt push harder:o!!!

She was 8lb 2oz

Clytus

My wife had a series of scans from 32 weeks ( due to unilateral hydronephrosis) and our son was way off in the 95th percentile so the Consultant told us we should get our heads round the idea of a section.
Anyway at 40 weeks she was induced and babs was born 8 12.


But are babys being born alot heavier these days...none of us were even close to that wieght...is maternal diet causing babies to be born heavier??

MLE

1st baby: Girl, 7lb 7oz - 7 days over.
2nd baby: Boy, 8lb 15 - 7 days over.
