How Big?

[Live and Learn]

JJ's wonderful baby announcement and following thread got me to thinking....
How big is big?....what is the largest baby you have given birth to?
I will start.
I am five feet tall.
My biggest single birth was 7 lbs 11 oz.
My twins were 6 lbs 15 oz and 6 lbs 13 oz.

My oldest was 7lbs 13 oz and I only gained 15 lbs myself (wore my jeans to and from hospital)
my youngest was 4lbs 9oz and I gained like 70 lbs with him!!! Go figure!!! Neither were early or late...just got horribly sick with my youngest...in and out of hospital the last 2 months before his birth. I got toxemia (?) I think that's what it is called...high blood pressure, major puffiness and bloating and all that fun stuff. Oh, and I am 5'4"

I'm 5'3" - mine were 8lb 8oz and 8lb 10 oz. The smaller baby had the larger head, so I had a really hard time with his birth (24 hours of labor with no drugs for 13 of those). The larger one was a breeze!

I'm 5'2" and my daughter was 8lbs and my son was 7lbs, I barely gained any weight with both of them although with my daughter I was sick the whole nine months. I was extremely lucky with labour though 4hrs with my daughter and 2hrs with my son.

I'm 5'2". My first was my biggest ds1 at 9 lbs. then ds2 at 8.7 lbs. and dd at 8.5 lbs. Mine were all induced and I definitely had that epidural!

my yonger son was 10 lbs 14 oz, completely natural birth, no drugs, no stitches. not sure if thats something to brag about though

my little sister was 13 lbs

my great grandfather was 15

we tend to grow 'em big....

I'm 5'9" and my oldest son was 9 lb 3 oz and my youngest son was 8 lb 12 oz...both were born at 35 weeks....gestational diabetes makes for some biiiiiiig babies!

I make big babies

My oldest was 9.5 lbs, natural birth. My youngest was 11 lbs. We had planned a homebirth, but she was also breech and wouldn't flip, so she came out the modern way. I'm pregnant with our third. I hope the weight trend doesn't continue!! - I'm 5'7, 140 lbs, so I looked like I swalllowed a beach ball by the time they were born!

I'm 5'2, my daughter was 7 lb 5 oz and my son was 8 lb 14 oz, he was induced and I ended up needed another c-section after several hours of labor

size

I am 5 feet tall. I weigh more now than I ever have at 145 but when I was having my babies before pregnancy weight was 115 to 120.

My babies were girl 7-1 , girl 7-10 , boy 7-8 , boy 6-3 , and boy 6-4

They are now 30, 26, 25, 22 and 7 years old

I'm about 5'6 1/2 and my daughter was 8lbs 11oz and was 22 inches long. (27hrs of labor, 3 hrs 40 mins was pushing. No meds for the 1st 13hrs, trying to go w/o meds, but by then I was exhausted and needed something)
My son was only 20 inches long and weighed 10lbs 12oz. Labor lasted only about 9hrs and only about 30 mins of pushing. Go figure: )
