@MrsMccarthy: Thank you! I had a 6lb 10oz, 21" baby with a 100th percentile, non-coning head. She looked like a C-section baby with her perfectly shaped noggin. She may not have weighed much but she was a big baby to me.
-
9+
Both LO's were mid-high 8's but they still seemed so tiny!!
-
@oliviaoblivia: lol! Go you!! I wa afraid dd was gonna be big and then she was just over 7 lbs (no cone though) and she was in nb clothes like 6-8 weeks!! She was tiny!
-
@Corduroy: I agree completely! Similar stats for my guy (only he had a mega cone head), and he was stuck for a while, so to me he was huge! I swear my water broke because he ran out of space in there, but I'm super short and had been threatened with ultrasound measurements of 9+ pounds which had me freaked out.
Ultimately all babies are huge when you think about them passing through a 4 inch (10 cm) opening.
-
For petite people, 8 lbs+. Otherwise 9 lbs+!
-
I think 9+ is a big baby!
-
I say 9 and up.
C was 10lbs8oz. I sincerely hope the net one is smaller. Holy crap. I don't think my hoo-ha could take any bigger. lol
-
8 and up.
-
In always thought 9+, but when we had our 8lb2oz little guy everyone kept saying "wow, what a big boy!!"
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I was induced just shy of 40 weeks due to LGA. An earlier ultrasound showed her at 8lbs 13 ounces and she was born a few weeks later at 9.5
-
@T.H.O.U.: wow! Good thing you induced!
-
9 and up. I was 8lbs 8 oz at birth and my siblings were in that range (except for my giant 10 lb brother). 8 seems normal to me.
-
Higher 8's and up.
-
8 and up. I had a barely 6 lb baby, and so even though he was little, 8 lbs seems huuuuge.
Although I've seen plenty of "big" babies end up as long lean babies, and "smaller" 7 lb babies turn into chunkos, so it doesn't seem to matter
-
@loveisstrange: ditto. It's weird that I'm hopeful to only have a nine pounder when we have another.
-
I'd say 8 1/2 and up.
-
I'd say 8.5lbs and up, mainly because I'm little and if my baby is anything bigger than that I'm gonna freak out, lol.
-
I say 9 and up.
I had two 8+lbers!My son had the broadest shoulders my OB had ever seen!
-
@chopsuey: hmmm...my OB said LO had a ginormous head. Lol
