Ladies, is 6 pounds 7 ounces big for 35 weeks and 4 days? My friend said her baby was that weight at term and my other friend's daughter was 6 pounds 10 ounces full term. Should I prepare for a big baby? My first baby was 9 pounds 3 ounces but I was also a gestational diabetic and I am not this pregnancy. I need opinions, thanks! :)
they measured my boy that same weight at 36 weeks... He was born at 40 weeks 3 days as 6lbs 13oz.
do remember it is just an estimate based on measurements. right now there is no full sure way to know how much baby weighs. @ilee
@sidanddelos15, I'm thinking maybe their measurements are off. Or at least hoping so. But I have gotten huge in the last few weeks so who knows.
my son was 4 lbs 12 oz at the appointment before i had him was about 2 weeks earlier. i was born at 31 weeks and weighed 4 lbs 4 oz. @ilee
@forevablessedx6, OMG god bless you. imagine if you went to term?! @imhermomduh I'm sorry you go through that. I don't think it makes that much of a difference, at 39.2 my son was 9 pounds 3 ounces. @sidanddelos15 Yeah that's pretty big. I was born at 33 weeks and was 5 lbs 2 oz. My son gained a pound and a half in just two weeks because at my last appointment he was 4lbs 15oz at 33 weeks 4 days 😱
it is big. my son was 5 lbs 3 oz at birth at 33 weeks. he is considered a big preemie.
@ilee, me too. My daughter was an oz under 7lbs but she came at 39wks. A week makes a difference maybe? Idk. I also have a thyroid autoimmune disease so that's probably why my babies are smaller.
my daughter was almost 8 lbs when i had her at 35.1 she was a chunky one lol
@imhermomduh, very true! I wonder why some women have bigger or smaller babies though.
I think babies have just gotten smaller. Me and my siblings were all over 9lbs. Well except my older brother. There is 4 of us
I'm thinking he will be big because his brother was! Thank God I'm having another c-section lol 😜
I had GD with my pregnancy and oddly my baby was underweight I think you'll possible have another big baby it could just mean you have big babies lol
I'm 36 weeks and they said my daughter is 6 1/2 pounds, so it's normal! I think she's gonna be around 8-9 pounds because of my boyfriend 😂
