Baby's birth weight.

What role did genetics and your pregnancy weight gain play in your baby'sbirth weight? In other words, was your baby bigor small because you didn't gain much weight or because you/bd birth weight was low/heavy?

8lbs still sounds huge! Lol then again I hated how fragile and tiny my son felt at just 6.11! I'm just worried about a big baby tearing me horribly and the thought of c section makes me wanna cry! Lol

I was 5 1/2 lbs and my husband was 9 lbs 3 oz, 24 inches long. It'll be interesting to see how this baby comes out. He has been measuring close to average through my ultrasounds.

Premature, because you derived early or because of her weight?  And do you know you or your bd birth weight? I'm curious because my bd was 9lbs at birth, holy sh*t right?? Lol our son was only 6.11 but I'm also much bigger this pregnancy!
