Lets guess birth weights!! « Back to Group Discussions

[cristeen]

Cause this is something that's always fun to do. 

Add any pertinent info that you like.  And then come back post partum and see how close you were!

DH was 7 lbs 1 oz at birth, I was 7 lbs 3.5 oz, DS was a super skinny 8 lbs. 

I'm guessing this baby is going to be bigger than DS, since I'm SO much more huge - I think maybe 8 lbs 6 oz. 

[Just1More]

Yeah!  This is fun!

Let's see.  Dh was a premie, in the low 4lb range.  I was 8lb 8oz.

dd1 was 8lb 7oz, 21.25in

ds was 8lb 10oz 20in

dd2 was 9lb 6oz 20in

dd3 was 8lb 14oz (hmmm...it was teen ounces of some number.  I think it was 14.  funny that I can't remember the most recent one)

 22"

So, I figure this one will be in the upper 8lb range.  Ounces, I dunno.  Maybe about like my last?  And, I also think 22ish"  It seems very long.

[BubbleMa]

I was 6lbs something oz.

SO was 10lbs something oz. if I remember correctly

DD1 was 6lbs 11oz.

I kind of thought she'd be little like DD1, but at my 36 week appt. the midwife guessed that she was already 6lbs.  So if she's right, and if it's true that they gain about 1/2 oz every week, and if she's born within a few days of her due date...I think she'll be about 8lbs.

DS1 was 7lbs 15oz

DS2 was 7lbs 10oz

I'm guessing this little guy is going to be 8 pounds- maybe a smidge over 8 - because he seems a little bigger than the others...

[poppyseed2012]

I was 10 lbs 8 oz.

My mister was 8 lbs 3 oz.

Two weeks ago (at 36 weeks) an ultrasound estimated he was already at 7 lbs 10 oz!

The big question for me is whether or not he'll be over or under his momma. I'm going with under: 10 lbs 3 oz.

[lovingthis]

Well, my guess is depending on the day that our Little Captain Seahorse shows up.

My guess ( or maybe it's a hope) is May 1 ( my mom's b-day), Hubby guesses May 4th....both of those dates would be close to the gestational age that all three of my others showed up ( spontaneously) but since this baby has decided to do everything else differently from them...who knows :D

DS-7lbs 1 oz

DD#1- 6 lbs 15 oz

DD#2-7 lbs 6 oz

I am guessing that this one will be around 7lbs 13 oz on the earlier side, 8 lbs 2 oz on the later side.... we will see as I get closer if those guesses change :D

[Kamiro]

I was low 7's, DH was 7's..

Baby 1 was 9.6 and 19"
Baby 2 was 9.7 and 22"

Baby 3 was 10.4 and 22 1/2"

I am guessing this baby will be 10.8 and 22 1/2"  hehe

[BlessedOne]

I was 5.9
Dh was....who knows....0_o My guess is just average 7 something

First child 7 lbs 14.5 oz
Second 7.9
Third (home birth and I don't believe the results) 8.5 (or maybe it was 8.6??)
Fourth -honestly I don't remember...it is written down somewhere.....I think it was something like 7.3 or something

Now I am pg with my 5th. I am much bigger than I was with the others....but I am thinking it might just be more fluid. I would guess upper 7s........maybe 7.11??

[maryamrose]

I was 9# 6 oz. my husband was 8#ish. I say 8# 8 oz, he says 9# even.

[casmer]

I was 6 lbs, 12oz and I have no idea what DH was, so I'm going to go with low to mid 7's.   I *really* hope she's not a big baby...I'm terrified...hahaha.

[Astraia]

I was 7.2, DH was 9.6 (and 2 weeks late).

DD 7.6  and 21"

DS was 8.2 and 20"

This one... I'm guessing 8 even and 20.5 inches long

[JynxGirl]

Hubby was 7lbs 6oz. I was 5lbs 2oz. DD was 5lbs 15 oz.

Considering I'm diabetic, I'm guessing at 7 or 8lbs. :)

[Emelee]

I was 9#11 oz and 20.5 inches...

DH was preemie at 2#15 oz and no idea on his height...

DD was 8#11 oz and 21.5 inches...

Current with twins: I have another ultrasound so I'll edit this then but I'm guessing if I go full-term they'll both be around 19-20 inches and 6.5-7 lbs each. They feel awful long but not too fat yet.

[shastalily]

Fun!

DD #1 was 10 days late and 7lbs 15 oz

DD #2 was 2-3 days early and 6 lbs 4 oz

DD #3 was 8 days late and 8 lbs 8 oz

I'm hoping this baby comes within a couple days of due date and guessing he will be 8 lbs 5 oz.  :-)

[smilingsara]

I was 7lbs, 8oz and I don't know how big the donor was, because they don't tell us that. 

My doc says he wont be a tiny baby, at least 7lbs. I'm hoping for mid-high 7's or a low 8 pounder.

[lightheartedmom]

I was 8# even, DH was 5 weeks early according to his mom (who has an unreliable memory for such things) and about 5# and change. I don't know lengths.

DD1 was 6lbs5oz and I think 18 or 19". DD2 was born nearly 2 weeks late at 8lbs exactly, and almost 21".

If I go to 40 weeks with this baby (I'm assuming I will, if not longer), my guess is 8lbs8oz or close to...maybe up to 9lbs since I'm bigger this time...but I think DH is way off with his guess of 10lbs. ;-) I HOPE he's way off. Length I have no clue...:-)

[sosurreal09]

DD was 8lbs 6oz. I gained more with her but this baby feels bigger to me. I'll say 9lbs 2 oz....

[persephassa]

i guess 7.6; i was 7.9 and so was my brother--we don't know what my husband was... he hasn't got a copy of his birth certificate and his mom passed away in 1998, plus his dad doesn't really recall stuff like that. my CNM said the baby would be between 5 and 10 lbs. ;)

[alittlesandy]

I was 6 lbs 12 oz, DH was 6 lbs 15 oz, and DS was 6 lbs 13 oz.

All very close!

However, my doctor says she thinks this baby is a little bigger, and I agree. I'm guessing she'll be close to 7 lbs, maybe even 7 1/2. I've only gained 22 lbs, but it's all baby!!! :)

[LuNaLu]

DH and I were both somewhere in the 7lb range.

DD#1 was 8lbs 6oz (40w 4d).  DD#2 was 9lbs 15oz (41w 6d).

I'm predicting this kid to be 9lbs 3oz (41w 1d).
