How big are your babies?!

Question

I'm 38weeks exactly, 0cm and 50% effaced. They say she's probably just barley 6lbs.

Does this sound waaaayyyy too little or is that just me?? How big is everyone else's babies estimated to be? I'm only 5' and her dad is only 5'6" so I knew we'd have a little baby... but idk.

Answer

I was only 5lb 5oz at birth and I was full term. Don't worry about it. Best of luck!

Answer

6lbs to 9lbs are considered full term average weights

Answer

Last estimate I got was at 32 weeks by ultrasound and it was 4lbs 3oz. If I went by that estimate and Glow's average weekly guesses. I am gonna estimate she is weighing about 6lbs 3oz.

Answer

I think that 6lbs is average. With my first, he was born at exactly  38weeks and weighed 6lbs and 7oz. I'm  currently  38w3d and baby is estimated at 8lbs, so I think that all babies are different. I'm 5'2 and hubby is 5'10. I wish you ladies the best.

Answer

At my 35 week scan baby was 6lb 4oz. My last 2 babies were 7lb 2oz and 9lb 5 oz. I'm 6'1 and partner is 5'11 so we were never going to have tiny babies.

Answer

I was 6 lbs 2 oz when I was born at 38 weeks, and all my brothers were less than 6 lbs 5 oz. My mom is 5ft and my dad is like 6 ft something. I think 6-9 lbs is normal newborn size. Also those sonograms are rarely accurate on the weights.

Answer

At 36w my son was estimated to be 6lb 1oz. They think he will be 7.5-8lbs if I go full term. Everyone is different, but 6lbs is a healthy baby. Both my girls were 6lbs 3oz when they were born.

Answer

I am 38 weeks and my baby is about 6.5 lbs but remember those weights are estimates and can be plus or minus one pound. It all depended on how accurate the measurements on an ultrasound.

Answer

My baby was 5lbs over a month ago. They are estimating he may be about 8 now and I still have 2 1/2 weeks until my c-section. But big babies run in my family. My first born was 8lbs 3 weeks early and my second son was 10lbs 8oz 5 days early via c-section.

Answer

I'm 37 weeks, we had to have a growth scan 2 days ago because they said our baby was measuring small. They estimated his weight at 5.11 and that by the time his due date is here he should weigh roughly 7lbs. Which I think is a nice weight for a boy
