question: a girl I know is a week and a half behind me her baby already weighs 5+ pounds. if I'm a…

Every baby is different. It could weigh more it could weigh less. My little boy was born at 36 weeks and was 5lbs exact so at around 33 weeks he weighed 3-4ish lbs (can't remember)

see that's what I thought most babies weighed during the 33 week mark it just kind of had me freaking out about having a huge baby when I finally have her lol!!! @hward12

@tater4414, lol understandable!! See my husband and I are both short and skinny so we had no chance of having a huge baby. He would of at most been 6 maybe 7 lbs if he had been full term. So if you or the babies daddy isn't really tall the likely hood of having a huge baby is slim. Even tho I have seen it happen.

well we maybe screwed on that one lol!! my husband is 6"11 and I'm 5"6 buuuttt we are both skinny to boot when he was born he weighed 7 pound and I weight almost 9.... praying for a 6 pounder😂😂😂😂😂 @hward12

😂😂 that baby is gonna be long!!! But hopefully pound wise baby is average!! @tater4414

haha that's what I think too!!😂@hward12

Those are only average pounds. I was told my baby was gonama be very big but he was normal size when he was born.

my husband is 5"4 or 5"5 ish and im 5"5 he weighed 6lbs at birth I weighed 9lbs 9 and a half oz lol. our babies have been 8lbs 14.3oz 21 and 1/4in long at 39w 1d and 9lbs 2.3oz a d 21in long at 40w 2d. we have big babies lol and were short but our families have tall people in them and my family has big babies so it all depends on a number of things lol. I also have a baby (my first) from another man and he was 8lbs even a d 19 and 1/4 in long at 38w. His side of the family was tall too though like over 6ft but my son wasnt extremly long so your being 5"6 might average it out ya know? lol You may have a 7lb maybe 8lb and between 20 and 21 maybe more inch long baby but dont worry about it. Youll be fine lol

oh Lord I pray my side averages it out or this momma may get some medicine😂😂😂😂😛 @steffiepaige

I had my 9lb baby all naturally and it was my best birthing experience ever. amazing what your body can do on its own if you are just . patient and remember the pain is your body bringing you your baby just dont tense up let the contractions do what they have to do and remember that the transition is the worst but it literally only lasts for like 10 minutes or less and once you start pushing the pain isnt even noticeable honestly

and I didnt tear with him with my first I did and I had the epidural at 9cm

I will remember that! @steffiepaige

😊 I didnt tear a lot with him though it was only like 2 stitches but still no tearing is better lol

haha I agree!! @steffiepaige
