A really big baby?

[KirstenFleur]

heh. I just saw this thread.

I had an u/s today that put the baby's weight at "9 lb 12 oz, plus or minus a pound". So, IF that's correct, I could potentially have a 10lb 12ox baby. Hmmm :-)

I think I'll wait and see.

Good luck with your c/s Marydean!

Kirsten - Let us know how you go? Have you had any pains yet? Best of Luck for the big moment. Hope all goes well.

Oh Berry,

Gosh sounds like me in with the Ob when i had my DD#2 recently.Both my babies were 10pnd 6oz and they were born vaginally. I was lucky to escape though with only bruising and 4 internal stitches after a four hr labour with DD#2. DD#1 well that is a different story all together. Too long to post!

Anyway i was always told i was going to have big babies and i was thinking what is big? now i no! Sometimes scans and all of that are not acurate so don't feel worried too much.

I agree with Shannon there on having Big babies as well. But good luck with it all and i am sure everything will be just A ok! Make sure you let us no how it all goes.

csab i was induced i was two weeks later and not once did anybody say she was going to be a big baby.even the doctor who saw me and a few days before i had her .but my labour was 6 hours and two of them were pushing her out as you could imagine

Jessabel - Gee that would have been a nightmare. Having 2 pushing her out. One thing I have noticed with my babies they have all gone up in size except the last one who was 2wks early.

1st 5 pound 7, 2nd 7 pound 5, 3rd 8 pound 3, 4th 6 pound 12. They ranged from 48cm to 56cm in length.

My fundal height as of yesterday was 21 weeks and I am only 17+5. The number of pregnancies, position of baby, amniotic fluid volume, build of mama are all factors.
My babies have all been 9lb + except for DD3 who was 6lb ish. Her birth was no easier than my big babies. I didn't tear with my DD4 or DS6 either.
If you don't have an illness our bodies rarely grow babies too big for our bodies.

Wishing you lots of luck and good wishes for bringing your new baby into the world.
