Am I having a monster baby!?!

[first_time_mummy]

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
