Big babies??

Question

Ok I’m 25w3d and my husband is 6’7 and 300lbs. He’s a big boi. I’m 5’6 and weigh less 🤣 When he was born he was 9lbs10oz 26in long. When I was born I was 6lbs 11oz and 21in long. My first child (previous relationship) was born 7lbs 12oz and 22in long. I’ve had several ultrasounds and each time the doctor comments on how big and long the baby is looking. Talking about his spine, fingers and how big his feet are already. Im starting to freak out I’m going to have my husband gargantuan baby 🤣🤣 keep me calm y’all.

Answer

I totally get it! I'm very petite at 5'1" and my first was 7lbs 14oz with a 90th percentile head. Labor wasn't easy with her but I was still able to deliver vaginally without major issues. I just had my second a few weeks ago and was scared because second babies are typically larger than first babies. I meditated throughout the pregnancy and repeated to myself "my baby is the perfect size for my body" and I declined a 3rd tri growth scan so I wouldn't get in my head about baby's size. She came out at 8lbs 8oz, 80th percentile head, and it was an easy labor. The OB said I was superwoman for being able to deliver babies that big when I'm so petite! Your body will believe whatever you tell it about your ability to birth so stay positive mama!

Answer

Interesting. My husband is 6"8. He was born small but grew really quickly and never stopped. Our first child was 3.33kg (average) but now at 19months is in the 96th percentile. So we have small babies who grow heaps after birth.
