number 5 very big

[mummy of many]

Wow, my fifth baby was only 3.7kg,but my doctor kept telling me that i was having a large baby,not sure that all Doctors know what their talking about sometimes,and what do they class as a large baby anyway? but my best friends baby was 4.5kg,bit of a difference,we both had boys.

my first 2 were both 7lb 14oz, my 3rd was 9lb 12oz and my 4th was 8lb 3 1/2oz. For my 4th they told me she was going to be over 10lb. How wrong did they get lol.

I'm hoping my 5th is not too big. Congrats

congrats on number 5....get ready for all the comments that go with having a big family like, dont u have a tv?, what are u rabbits?, omg 5?, where they all mistakes?, dont u believe in condoms... all those i am so sick of hearing them....yes we do have a tv, no we arent rabbits (the last on was conceived after making love once the whole entire month just happend to be the wrong day) yes 5, no not all of them we mistakes and yes we do believe in condoms thats why im not pregnant with number 6 and why there is 2 yrs between all of my kids.
good luck with the birth of your number 5 hope its not as heavy as mine

Lol Dani

Have already had the tv comment and I just say yes we have 5 but don't watch it all the time. As for believing in condoms I tell them they don't make them big enough for DF and none of my children have ever been mistakes. They are all gifts and here for a reason.

I too hope my 5th is not as big as yours but if it is then I'll have to grin (or grimace) and bear it lol.

OMG you poor, poor ladies you have sucessfully scared the crap out of a first time mum to be! I didnt even contemplate giving birth to a huge baby until right now...

[paradise lost]

Wow, nice big boy!

Don't panic Mandie, i know two babies who were over 10lbs and born vaginally and mum didn't even gat a graze, let alone a tear! It was funny meeting them though - they were a week old but like 3month olds!

well all mine were natural with only the gas to help ease the pain, i didnt have any stitches with any of them, the only thing i am finding it hard at the moment is 2 weeks ago i had carpel tunnel surgery and i find that there is things i still cant do but im a trooper and am coping. the other thing is as i write this i have had very little sleep as 4 out of 5 kids have been up all night with high temps, vomiting, pains in the tummy and headaches oh what joy. need to stock up on panadol i think.
