Baby boys poppin! Big time - big baby??

Question

Everyone keeps saying how big my stomach is! I’m 22 weeks now and I like my belly and my little baby boys healthy and growing quick but I’m kinda freaking out a bit cos my husband was 10 1/2 pound when he was born and now I’m thinking uh oh is this gonna be a re-run?! Is Family history of big babies a thing??

Answer

Babies grow to the mom. My husband and I were big babies. Our first wasn’t that big at all. 
Everyone carries differently. One of my best friends was WAY bigger than me and her baby was within a few oz of ours. 
So long story short, you can get bigger but baby not be huge, or you can be tiny either a very large baby.

Answer

What pregnancy is this for you? I’m 23 weeks and baby is barely weighing 1lb so fat. She’s also measuring a few days behind but I’m huge😂 luckily size doesn’t always necessarily mean the baby will be bigger or smaller. It’s just how we carry.

Answer

Excuse my underwear... I’m 20 weeks tomorrow and I’m big too. 3rd pregnancy. I was huge with my first baby and she was a tiny 6lb7oz in the end. Everyone carries differently so I wouldn’t worry! As soon as I am pregnant I bloat terribly up until around 9/10 weeks so I really struggle to hide it! Embrace the belly I say! I love my early showing bumps 💗

Answer

My husband was over 10lbs at birth, too! Our daughter was 7 lbs 7 oz born on time and then our son was 9 lbs born on time (it was still a super easy birth for me). I think family history could play in but I think that's only one factor in the grand scheme of things. I always let my doc know about my husband's birth weight just so they have that frame of reference. For the record, I think you look awesome! Super cute bump! 💙
