Lindsay was my first and he was 4.180grams and 56 cm long. I had a textbook pg and delivery and had no issues with BP or GD or anything. He was a day early.
My third baby was my biggest at 4.320grams and 57 cm long. She was posterior and her shoulders got stuck, but the pg was great. She was on her due date.
I have been lucky in that I get no BP problems or GD during my pregnancies, but big babies tend to run in our family. I was 4550 grams and my sister was 5000grams and 62cm long. Mind you my Mum is 5ft 3inches and did not get a single stich having her.
There are other ladies here who have had bigger. I know of a lady who lives near me who has had 13 and 14 pounders (mind you she had 9 kids).
I think a babies weight is irrelevant to birthing, it's the size of their heads that matter!
