Much bigger than average. 9lb14oz and born on his due date. I had a young, brand new nurse tell me she'd never seen anyone push out a baby that big, ha!

Bigger than average. But I am WAY taller than the average woman.

I need a way larger than average option! DS1 was 10lbs 9 oz at 39+1. I am also on the petite side.
DS2 was average at 7lbs 2 oz but he was a little over 2 weeks early.

Smaller
DS1- induced at 37 weeks for IUGR and bleeding- 5lbs15oz
DS2- 40w4d- 6lbs14oz
(Clearly the fact that my second was born almost a month later than my first and wasn't even a full pound heavier (and I was not diagnosed with IUGR) makes my think DS1s IUGR was a crap diagnosis, I just grow small babies.
Although the estimated DS1s weight via ultrasound in the 4 lb range

DD1 was "huge" at 8 lbs 10 oz, my doctor and nurses were surprised that she was so big based on my size, when they held her up I'm was like OMG she's so big!
DD2 was average at 7 lbs 6 oz, this was the smallest baby born in our family, my sisters and I usually have large babies so having a 7 pounder was strange to me!

Smaller - 6 lbs 13 oz. He was born 38 weeks 6 days.
I'm currently at 39 weeks 1 day so I'm interested to see how baby boy #2 will compare!
