BIG BABY

My midwife is saying my baby is already over 3 pounds and I'm only 29 weeks.. does this mean I'm going to have like a 10 pounder? (Ouch)

My two youngest were 10 pounders and my first was 7lb13oz all born naturally with no drugs,gas or complications... but there were stitches lolz. I found the bigger they are its a little eadier to push as the weight of baby kinda helped them come out faster so dont stress just pray for a healthy baby no matter what the weight. Good luck!!

The weight isn't always accurate. The day before I had my son they measured him at 8 pounds and he was born at 9 pound 7 ounces. The last month they should gain half a pound a week.

On the other hand I was told my baby was 8 pounds and most of it was me or water weight. My baby weighed 9.4 lbs.I had gained 55 lbs with her and lost 60 before my 2 week check up. Not sure how but I did.
