Petite mommas: how much did your first baby weigh at birth?

Question

Hi everyone!  I'm 5'1" and 110 lbs.  My husband is 6'.  I often wonder what size our baby will be, given our vast size difference, although I realize there's no way to predict this ☺ Just curious to hear from other petite mommas (let's say 5'3" and under)---how big was your first baby?  I'd love to hear your stories, too, if you feel like commenting💕🌼

Answer

I've read that the best indication of the size your baby will be is the size you and your partner were at birth. I was 4lbs 8oz and my husband was around 7lbs. I'd be happy with a baby somewhere in between those two weights. I'm 5'1 but have fairly wide hips for my height so I'm hoping that works to my birthing advantage!

Answer

I'm 5 ft 100 lbs pre preg.  Hubby is 6 ft 185 lbs.  I wound up going into labor at 35 +4 ...no obvious complications and Drs/nurses theorized she was growth restricted bc I was growing very slowly and baby was packed very tight...I kept measuring about 3 weeks behind per uterus measurement but baby was measuring average inside.  At delivery she weighed 5 lbs 6 oz and I suffered a 2nd degree tear as it was.  They said I probably wouldn't have been able to carry to term, hence she came early.  No health complications thank god!!  She's doing great.
