What was your guess? 👀 My last 4 babies have been over 10lbs, however they were born around 41 weeks. This time around I had to get an emergency induction at 39 weeks, so we figured he wouldn’t be as big as the others. We were shocked at his weight! 😳

Could you imagine how big he would have been had I gone into labor around 41 weeks like I have done with all 6 of my other babies?? 🤪 I swear he would have been my first 11lb baby 😝

And to answer the questions I always get in regard to my big babies…

No it was not a c-section birth
No, I did not have gestational diabetes, 
No, my kids did not grow to be overweight. 

All our children are at a great weight and very tall.  I just birth babies I guess! 🤪❤️😘 

My husband was a big baby at birth and so was my dad so maybe genetics have something to do with it? 🤷‍♀️. Even when they are born they aren’t chunky because they are all so long. All of them have been 21 to 23 inches long! 

Do you have big babies too? Based on your pregnancy, were you surprised by baby’s weight when they were born?
