Big or Small Babies???
Hello to all mums!!!!
I was just wondering, if mummy & daddys birth weight actually plays a part in how big your baby will be when born???? :roll:
I was just trying to get a feel on how big my baby will be. I weighed 6lb and husband weighed 6lb 11oz.
Have any of you experienced a similar sized baby to what you and partner weighed as a baby?

I don't think it has much to do with it unfortunately.
My Mum was 7lb and Dad was 2lb 3oz and I was 7lb 11oz and my brother was 9lb 6oz!
I wish it did mean that though as i'm expecting a whopper. At last weeks midwife appointment I was measuring 44 weeks! ARGH! I don't know what my hubby weighed at birth as he was adopted but he'd have to be about 15lb for that theory to work!

I was 8lbs 5oz and my oh was 5lbs 13oz, I am 5"5 and he is 5"9 so we are not tall or big. And yet my baby is looking to be 8lbs 14oz at term on his chart, having said that I am only 31 weeks so it could change. xxx
