What size is a 'good sized' baby?
Hi ladies hope u and bumps r all doing ok, i was wondering if anyone knew what a 'good sized' baby will weigh in at birth? i have seen 3 different doctors and 2 different midwives, who after feeling my tummy say 'oooohh thats a good sized baby!' i have no idea what it means lol! i should of asked but i dont think until im at home,

I have found that it is true what they say the bigger they are the easier they are to get out..
Let s know when u have lo and the size x
my second was 7lb 3oz and my first was 6lb 1oz
My LO was 8lb 9oz at birth, although at 41 weeks a mw told me he would be about 7lb!
Good luck with the rest of your preg x
This time round I have been told that I am expecting a whopper but I am not going to worry about it as long as he is healthy...

So it just shows that they don't really know. with my last one i had a growth scan at 38wks and he was estimated to weigh around 8lb 10, i went 1wk over so 3 wks later we had a massive shock!! lol
I'm now pregnant with my 5th and i will definatly be requested a growth scan because i had my last 2 babies at home and want the same this time but not sure if it will be possible this time round because of the size.

Well my first child wieghed 7.5 oz and was 21 in. And I think that is close to average in america. But I'm pregnant now, 2 months, and my docter says its a little too early too know alot.
