Petite mom’s with tall husbands?

Question

How was your birthing experience? 
FTM here & I’m starting to freak out since my little babe has been measuring quite long in all the ultrasounds roughly 1.5-2 weeks ahead. 
I am 4’10” and my husband is 6’1”...
He was a 9lb baby at birth and I was 5.2lbs both full term!
How big were your babies?
How was the labor?
Just trying to see if there’s some trend 😊

Answer

we don’t have quite as big of a difference between us but I’m 5’ and my husband is 5’11”. My son was 7 pounds exactly the day before his due date he came. My doctor basically said my body wouldn’t grow a baby that I couldn’t handle birthing. Idk the truth in that but it wasn’t a bad experience.

Answer

I'm 5' my husband is 5'11 & my first was 5 lbs 15 oz. She had even gained weight when we left the hospital & put on a pound in the first week. Such a thoughtful baby. 😂

Answer

Mine was less than 6 pounds! It will hurt no matter how big your baby is. Your body will adjust. Try not to worry about it!

Answer

I’m 5’1 and my mans 6’5... 
Last measurement I got put little baby Finn at a week and a half ahead. But that was 9 weeks ago! 
But I’m absolutely huge. It looks like I’m smuggling a watermelon lmao 
Dad was 10.1 lbs I was 7.0 
I’m thinking baby is gonna be like his dad tho. Because I’m so petite my dr said I might have to have a c-section ( I’m just really narrow, I wore a size 0 prepregnancy)

Answer

I’m 5” and my husband 5”11 my first was around 5 Ib not exactly sure but didn’t have a hard time during labor

Answer

My husband is about 6ft (but all his siblings are taller than him) and his moms baby’s were anywhere from 8lbs-12lbs. I’m 5”3 and my moms babies were 6lbs-7lbs. My sons so far have been 9lbs, 7lbs 14oz and 7lbs 6oz. One of the doctors I work with (I’m a medical assistant in an ob/gyn clinic) said a study showed babies don’t grow too big for their moms uterus...I was like ok then why did I have a 9lb baby 😂. Lol

Answer

My husband is 6'3" but he was a 7lb baby (buuut his mom smoked lol) I was 8lb 14oz. Our son was 7lb 8oz but a big ol head 😂 major episiotomy

Answer

I’m 5’4 and my husband is 6’5. Both of my babies were just under 7lbs, so very normal sized babies. They are now both super tall and measure in the 98 and 99th percentile in height and weight.

Answer

I am 4'11" & my husband is 6ft. He was a 7lb baby though, so not sure if that changes anything. My girls both measured exactly on point the entire pregnancy..same with #3 right now. My oldest was 7lbs 4oz 19.5" at birth & my youngest was a bit smaller 6lbs 9oz 19".. funny thing is my oldest is short like me & my youngest looks like she's going to be tall
