with my big baby I felt like a tree being split in two. It was not the head that was the problem but the whole body. Normally it is head out and the rest is done but this one it was gradual push all the way and I kept on screaming "take it out ". He was so big that no one in the hospital could believe he was new born. He still is a very big size. With 11 size 42 shoes.

Speaking for my wife,

First Son 2.8kg

If i may ask why the second born is bigger than the first?

I was a really tiny baby, i heard.
Re: Mothers: What Was Your Baby's Birth Weight? by blank(f): 5:42pm On Apr 11, 2011
I was 4.3kg at birth. Was scared that my baby will be big as both my husband and i are tall with heavy bones. Surprisingly, i had such a small tummy that at 5 months, people were asking if i really was pregnant as i was still wearing my old clothes without much of a bulge.

My baby came 5 weeks early and weighed 2.3kg. I was so scared but now, at 6 weeks he weighed a healthy 3.9kg. thank God, he came out early. grin

My baby weighed 1.9 Kg when he was born, [s]smallest baby at birth on this thread so far[/s]! Long story but thank God he came out safe and sound

Now at almost 11 months, he weighs about 9.1 kg, I guess I have been working hard smiley

The thread wants to know your baby's weight, not your weight.

Must everything be about you? undecided

Are you this lonely and needy?

My babies were 2.6 and 2.7

You just feed them normally and they grow and catch up. I was exclusively breastfeeding, so nothing extra.

Another thing that matters is genes. I haven't had big babies probably because I was small myself. But if you see my 4yr old.now, you would never believe she was that small.
