    DD was 9lbs, 5oz at 40+5. DD2 is still 9 weeks from her due date but the midwife was very cheerful about the prospect of me delivering a 10+ lber vaginally. I was like "Ummm smaller would be fine?" First size ultrasound in another week so we will see. I'm told I am measuring ahead. No surprise.

    DS was an IUGR baby so I was induced at 37 weeks. He was 4lbs 13oz.

    He quit growing at 32 weeks and didn't gain anything between then and inducement.

    My twins were born at 34 weeks and were 3 lbs 11 oz and 4 lbs 3 oz.

    At their 6 week weigh in (so full term), they are 6lb 2oz and 6lb 15 oz.

    DS1 - 5 lb 5 oz, 17.5 inches (38 weeks)

    DS2 - 5 lb, 6 oz, 19 inches (38 weeks, induced for suspected IUGR....no growth on ultrasound between 36 and 38w)

    Both kids are constitutionally smaller / lower percentile for weight, but DS2 is much bigger than DS1 at this age (11 months, like 2 lb bigger).

    LO1 was 8lb 5oz at 40+4 and LO2 was exactly the same at 8lb 5oz but at 41+3. Which is weird because I was the exact same weight as my brother and DH and his brother were the same as each other as well.

    Little Dude was 9#3oz at 41+5, and Peaches was 8#10oz at 38+4. (He would have been a BEAST if he'd stayed in as long as his brother!)

    This one is measuring right on track, was estimated at 5lb 12oz last week and I'll be having it at 37w5d, hope it's not too tiny!
