Her hair is the biggest talk, then weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428927 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 10:01:11 +0000 littlek 428927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was born at 4.5 lbs and people comment on how healthy he is even though he was a preemie. It annoys me! He was always healthy he's just small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428894 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:42:57 +0000 kml636 428894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same comments. My LO was 8 lbs 4 oz and because I didn't get huge they kept telling me she was going to be small. Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428890 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:38:50 +0000 Mrsbells 428890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people dont comment much on the weight. She was smaller than I expected at 6lbs 9oz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428885 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:37:16 +0000 BelugaBean 428885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DigAPony: I was 7 lb 2 oz at birth too and it came up with a coworker a while ago who proceeded to tell me how huge I was.</p> <p>LO was 8 lb 5 oz, 21 inches and everyone commented on how big she was (I'm a little under 5'5). DH is 6'2 though and they anticipated her being even bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428839 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:52:56 +0000 sera_87 428839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how "good" that was....except he dropped a pound the day after birth so he really was 6lb9oz (at 19.5") for awhile. He rebounded though and was 7lbs12oz at his 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428586 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 22:11:42 +0000 rachiecakes 428586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They said he was a big boy - 8lbs 2oz 21.5" - I'm really petite, pretty big for me I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428583 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 22:08:55 +0000 aMohror 428583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 6 lbs 5 oz and dropped down to 5 lbs something super quick. I'm 5'1 so I don't think people were very surprised she was small, and also, I think they were all distracted with her full head of hair! People comment more now on how small that she is being 4 months and a little over 11 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428576 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 22:02:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 428576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How huge he was. Especially compared to me and even from the nurses (he was 8 lbs 12oz) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428570 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:58:44 +0000 LemonLong 428570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 5 lbs 2 oz at birth, but then dropped to 4 lbs 11 oz. she was born full term so everyone remarked about what a peanut she was. She's 5 weeks now and 7 lbs 1 oz and people think she's a newborn instead of being over a month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428545 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:43:45 +0000 DigAPony 428545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People always say the weirdest things, no matter what. I told my MIL that when I was born I was 7 pounds 2 ounces and she said "wow, so you were big!" WTF? Anyway, sorry to thread jack. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428541 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:40:15 +0000 prettylizy 428541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6lb12oz- people always said she was small!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428527 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:31:57 +0000 CarrieLouWho 428527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 9 lbs 3 oz and 21 inches... My husband's uncle asked if she walked out, another uncle asked when she starting kindergarten. Ha ha ha :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428509 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:16:31 +0000 Ree723 428509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was 7 lbs 6 oz, so that's a pretty normal size! I'm 5'8 but was carrying really small (consistently measuring at least two weeks behind at every appointment) so I had no idea what to expect. As she was such an average size, no one made any size comments one way or the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428508 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:16:14 +0000 Andrea 428508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No comments really. She was 8 lbs 5 oz, but I am 5'8" and DH is 6'4" so no one expects us to have small babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428506 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:14:54 +0000 hilsy85 428506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That he was big. He was 7lbs 11oz--I didn't think he was that big at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428502 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:13:07 +0000 stargal 428502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How big he was! He was 8 PDS 6 ounces and I'm barely five feet tall and tiny so he was pretty big for me. Lol. Drs were expecting him to be even bigger though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428494 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:07:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 428494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie was 8 lbs 6 oz which is big for me! people said he was big, but i know babies that were born bigger. </p> <p>olive was 4 lbs 15oz which was tiny... but she was born 5 weeks early so not that surprising and not many comments about her weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428491 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:05:10 +0000 Rubies 428491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 7lbs, 6oz. and almost everyone has said how average she was. I think so, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-did-you-get-about-your-los-birthweight#post-428488 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:03:12 +0000 autumnlove 428488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a lot of comments about LO being huge, big, or healthy. I didn't think she was that big at 8 lbs, 1 ounce. I'm 5'2" so most people thought she was gonna be 6-7 lbs. </p>
