My OB warned me on my Friday visit that I probably should be prepared for a 10 to 11 pounder this time. He said that he would make me go early except he worried about lung development so I have to suffer the pain of carrying him (the baby that is not the OB). Were u in a lot of pain (some days unable to walk) at the end of your pregnancy with your 10 pound babies.

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
