Hellobee Boards

Oh you are adorable! I have no idea about the baby stuff but just wanted to chime in.

Well, I have no idea about this yet...just wanted to say you look great as always!

A friend of mine has delivered two 8 pound babies but at 9 months pregnant she looked her normal, 110 pound size! A lot of people would ask her, "where is the baby?" while she was still pregnant because no one could tell. So I'm not sure it matters. The way my babies sat--made me look like I had a huge beach ball belly. They were both in the mid 8's.

For me, yeah. My midwife measured me at 36 weeks and told me that C was going to be between 9 and 10 lbs. She was 10lbs8oz and 22 inches long. My belly was HUUUUGE. I have a picture of me at 40+6, right before we left for the hospital... but it's probably the most unflattering picture ever so I won't post it. lol

I was on the smaller side according to my OB and she kept saying "oh this little guy won't be over 6/6.5". Well, he was 7.8lb so.....she guessed wrong based on my size.
@Beebug was tiny:) and her babe was like 9Lbs i believe?

No! You look amazing! If you remember I was hugeeeee and I am a very petite girl. Everyone thought I was going to have a huge baby. Even when he was born the nurse was like ok I'm going to weigh him, everyone guess! I was like 8 lbs and everyone laughed! My ob guessed exact--6 lb 14 oz.

Haha. I had a huge belly and I had an 8lber.
BElly is even huger this time around (only 34 weeks) and I'm pretty sure baby boy is going to be heavier than his sister was..

I don't know about size and weight being related, but wouldn't it make sense if you are smaller prepreg, you might get more of a belly? Plus, how tall you are-- like it seems if you are tall, there is a little more room between ribs and hips before the belly expands out, but if you are petite, there is no where to go but out? I don't know, that just makes sense in my head
Either way you look great!

@PrincessBaby: you silly girl:) if she tears you from end to end : they will stitch it up;) haha. Which is lots O' fun....but I swear less than 4w later and I look like I did Pp. the stitches are gone..pain has been gone awhile now and no scar. Plus I didn't feel a thing with my epi. So, don't sit around worrying! Just enjoy it:) plus you don't look big at all! You pretty lil mama,you!

I always measured normal and appeared small, though I'm small to begin with, but had an 8lb 2oz baby.

I always measured right on but I feel like my belly had a mind of it's own by the time I delivered. Our midwife was guessing he'd be around 7lb by the size of my belly though. He was 8lb12oz. My SIL's belly with her first daughter was incredibly big, though...they were guessing her DD would be a very big baby, but she was only around 6 and a half lbs. So you never know!

And even if she does rip you open--it happens a lot. The stitches aren't bad really aren't bad, and DH says my lady parts feel the same (i.e not like vacuuming a hallway...).

For reference, my 39 week belly:
