How Big?

[MyAngels]

My oldest was 11 lb. 4 oz. and 24" long
My middle daughter was 10 lb. 4 oz. and 23" long
My youngest son was 9 lb. 10 oz. and 22" long

Now they are reversed -

My youngest is 6' 8" tall
My middle daughter is 6' 2" tall
My oldest son is 6' 1" tall

Go figure.

Well, if we're saying our own height and weight then maybe this should be listed under the member's only forum! ::

I don't have any kids yet, I need to enjoy the married life with cats first! My sisters have a total of 5 boys and 1 girl between the ages of eight months (twins) and 6 years old. They were all 7-10 pound babies...even the twins were a good size! I'm afraid of how big my kids will be. Both of my sisters ended up going a week past due most of the time too, sure hope I don't!

I'm 5'3, and am still trying to lose baby weight!

My ds7 was 7lbs. 15 1/2 oz. 23 1/2 in.
Dd6 was 8 lbs. 2 oz. 22 in.
Ds4 was 9 lbs. 5 oz. 23 in.
And DS2 was 7 lbs. 8 oz. 22 1/2 in.

Daugther #1 7 lbs 10oz
Daughter #2 8lbs 0 oz

Both natural, daugther #1 was born in the Azores while my DH was in the Navy...that was an experience!

I am 5'6 130lbs..

With my first son who is now 4.5 and skinny skinny I gained 50lbs and he was 9lbs 13oz...ended up with a c-section after 23hrs labor

With my second son who is 2.5 I also gained 50lbs and was induced a week early for a VBAC...he was 8lbs 8oz

I am terribly embarrassed that I can't remember precise weights without looking them up. my largest was 8lbs 10 oz (I think) and he was the one I delivered without any meds or even an IV. I'm 5'2 and fairly small.

I'm 5'3". Medium build, but some extra stuffing. :: Weighed different each time I got pregnant, and gained different weights each time.

DD (First born) 6lb 11oz, 21 1/2 inches long. Had a shot of nubaine, and about a 3 hr labor. Delivery was literally 6 pushes. Average head (50%)

DS (Middle child) 6lb 15oz, 21 1/2 inches long. He was induced about a week early due to pre-eclempsia. I had something in the IV drip along with the petocin used to induce, but I don't remember what. He had the littlest head (10%) 3 hour labor and delivery.

DD (my 8 month old) 7lbs 9.5oz and 19 1/2 inches long. I had a one cervical block, but didn't have enough for the second one, so the last 1/2 hour of labor and delivery was drug free. She had the biggest head too (75%). 3 hour labor and delivery.

haha that's funny countrymom, I'm only 5'2 and my own 13 yr old son is taller than me, I think he's 5'6 or 5'7, and our poor 18 year old daughter is only 5' so she looks up to her baby brother, funny. I guess we forgot to water her....

dd (8yrs) was 8lbs 0oz. hospital drugged birth 14 hours long
ds (18mos) was 5lbs 10oz. hospital drugged birth with preeclampsia 36+ hours long.
ds (7weeks) was 7lbs 0oz. dug free homebirth! 7 hours long

My babies generally come a little early so they aren't so big

Oh and I am only 5' tall! Gained a ton with the first two and lost weight this last time. I was 10 lbs lighter when I gave birth than I was when I got pregnant! :: (I was sick for the first few months and made a point of eating healthier than ever after that.)
