yickes!

Me only being 5'3 and I slim 120 before I got pregnant (now 143lbs) its kind of scary that my doctors tell me my baby is a little over the average weight and length.. She said he is going to be a big boy when he's born. Which I would expect anything less considering my boyfriend (baby daddy) is 6'5 240lbs. But still pretty scary! Anybody terrified of delivery? Or embracing it?

I'm terrified for birth I'm only 4'11 and was only 100lbs before pregnancy I'm about 115 now at 31 weeks (32 on Wednesday) but being so small I'm freaking out! Luckily my baby's father is only 5'6 so hopefully our son will be in the 5 and a half to 6 pound range

I've heard your child's birth weight depends only on how much the mom weighed at birth. So for example, if you were 6lbs at birth, then your baby will most likely be around that weight :)

My baby daddy, was 10lbs.. And 21 inches.. I was just shy of 5lbs. Needless to say giving birth is welcomed, but very feared for this first time mom!

I'm only 9 weeks but I'm already scared of how much I'll end up gaining. I'm only 5'1 and weigh 104lbs. My boyfriend is 6'4. So I hope I don't have a big baby. My first only weighed 5 lbs 15oz so delivery was a breeze! Crossing my fingers for the same this time around
