Curious to see how much hes gonna weigh at my next ultrasound probably wont be too far off from…

I’m sure it would be easier to birth a 5 -6 pounder... but you should be wishing for him to weigh more. Healthier for the little man.

@meghanldk no babys can be prefectly healthy at that weight

I know that, but it’s still better for them to be a little heavier than 5-6 pounds, especially since they lose some weight after birth.

@meghanldk doctor says baby is healthy so im hoping for that weight

My baby weighed 5 pounds and she is very healthy

@meghanldk

@hperry845, I’m not saying the baby will be unhealthy, I understand babies differ in size I’m just saying she shouldn’t be wishing for a smaller baby for her own benefit.. babies lose weight after birth and it’s nice if they have that extra little bit of weight on them. Average weight for babies is around 7 pounds but anywhere between 6-9 is usually the healthiest weight.

Not saying 5 pounds isn’t healthier either. Some people get lucky that they have a small but healthy baby.

@hperry845, my daughter was 6. Very easy birth. I only got 3 stitches. Took my 10 minutes to push her out

Is there a reason you want the baby that weight ?
