How much did you baby weigh? - (at birth)


trista_kay wrote: Hey ladies,

My baby boy Brendan was one month old on 7/26. I have always been small so it was a shock when I gained 50 lbs during my pregnancy! I went from a size 1 to a size 5. ( I ate healthy the whole time, if you are wondering.) Anyways, I was in labor for a week without progressing when my doc finally decided to do a c-section. We later found out that my baby was 9 pounds 14 ounces. He was in the 98th percentile for weight! So, how much did your baby weigh at birth? Just curious. Thanks

Tristan

5littleladies replied: My 1st dd was 8 lbs, 12 oz-I gained 60 pounds ohmy.gif
2nd dd was 8lbs, 6oz-I gained around 30 pounds
3rd dd was 9 lbs, 7 oz (ouch!)-I gained around 25 pounds
So far with this baby I've gained 20 pounds (will probably top out between 25-30)
and I think she is going to be on the small side-at least smaller than Brianna, because I seem to be carrying a bit more small and compact than usual. happy.gif
