Did you have a big baby?

    My daughter was almost nine pounds and my doctors thought that was really big. But, that's nothing compared to how my little brother weighed well over ten pounds. He was a big baby. So, big babies run in my family. He was the last baby my mom had. And, now that I'm a mom, I can understand why. Giving birth to such a large baby is no easy feat.

    How much did your baby/babies weigh when they were born?

    Mine were fairly big babies...
    my first was 8lb 8oz (daughter)
    my second was 9lb 2oz (son)
    my third was 9lb 5oz (son)

    I think the only 1 I had problems delivering was my first one (my daughter) my boys were easy

    Very nice sized babies, very healthy I'm sure. My nutritionist told me he'd rather see a mom to be gain a couple extra pounds and deliver a healthy baby than have her diet and lose weight and deliver a preemie who wasn't healthy. I tried to eat healthy but toward the last three months, I was SO hungry all the time. It was difficult getting out to the store to buy real healthy food. Anyway, that's what I get for letting a man do my grocery shopping. :D
