Am I having a monster baby!?!

I hate it even more when its 2 am you can hardly keep your eyes open and yet you feel like you need to do the biggest turd ever so you sit and wait, and wait, shift positions, wait some more, rub your belly, start shaking coz your so damn cold then finally give up!!!

lol then you go back to bed and need to go again.....I know what you mean with the leaning back thing it feels very primitive, leaning back to do a poo like a cavewoman Hopefully its not too long for you to wait.

Im hoping for a small baby, as i havent been that overly big for 30 odd weeks, but now im 38 weeks my mum commented on how i have ballooned in the belly region. Now im worrying lol

My fiance is bred to be a jockey, he weighs no more than 60 kilo. I on the other hand am quiet tall, weigh 86 kilo, and was almost a ten pounder baby.

Im wondering now whether I will have an small, average or large baby? Its really hard to tell. I have only gained about 6 kilo in my pregnancy, so what do you ladies think??

I've always heard its usually a pound or something heavier than the mother at birth (which that could freak you out - so for your sake I hope its not true!!)

But for me - I was 7 pounds, 7 oz at birth, DH was 7 pounds 14 oz, DS was 8 pound 2.5 oz, and DD was 8 pound 11.5 oz. So its pretty accurate in my case.

hmm.. .dunno about that theory.. if that were the case.. each generation would be a pound heavier than the previous one and we'd be having gargantuan babies by now LOL.

bwahaha maybe its a thing from the 1940's cos my mum was around 6 pound, I was 7 and my kids were 8... LOL

Maybe its a weird tasmanian thing.. LOL
