Your birthweight?
 

I unashamedly stole this topic off the SGR forum but it seems like it could get so interesting if posted out here for everybody!!!

With all apologies to MidwestDiva--

How much did you weigh at birth? How about any children you may have?

I was only 6-14 but this little body has produced these and most were early: 8-7, 7-14, 9-1, 9-6, 7-11, 8-9, 9-1, and 9-7!

Let's hear about all you Greek Chatters!:D

6 pounds, 2 ounces...and two weeks early. :)

I weighed 5 lbs, 14 ounces (yes, my mom was/is a smoker :rolleyes: ) My daughters weighed in at 8 lbs even and 8 lbs, 2 ounces.

9 pounds...7.5 ozs. 2 days early...natural birth.

I don't know how I fit inside my mother...she's a tiny one!

I believe I was 7lbs and 5 ounces.

I missed the St. Patricks' Day party by 21 mins.

6 lbs, 7 oz ... and breech (feet first - still serious back then in ol' 71!)

Born on Victoria Day (the actual holiday) May 24th

I was 9lbs 11 ounces. My sister was 11lbs 9ounces. My mom did not have a c-section for either of us!

zntke--

Has your mother forgiven you two yet?

Yah, she doesn't see how women that have smaller babies complain so much. She said she wished we were smaller.

I was about seven pounds. And breech. The cord was wrapped around my neck and if my mother would have deleviered me the normal way i would have been strangeled to death the second i was born. So i was a c-section. Plus i was like, 2 weeks late

3.7 lbs. - - 2 months early. I was supposed to be born around Christmas, but I couldn't wait..didn't want to miss that Halloween candy! ;) :p

ME TOO!!!

6lbs. 2oz. and a couple of weeks early!!!:)

I was born on Earth Day...woohoo!!!:D

6lbs, 7oz and 3 1/2 weeks early. :) I was due on May 7th, my dad's birthday, but I was born on April 12th--a week after my mom's birthday.

6 lbs. 3oz. and one month early. AmyCat, kind of a funny aside, I was due on my mom's birthday, which is one week before my dads but was born the on my great grandma's birthday. I was the first born and my mom was only in labor for 45 minutes. I think that is why she loves me so much. My youngest two sister were 9 lbs and 10.5 lbs (one on time and the other 2 weeks late). We were all natural births.

7 lbs 5 0z
daughter 7 lbs 11 oz
son 7 lbs 5 oz

I was 7lbs 9oz, I think. 1 week late.

My husband was over 9lbs and a month late - delivered by c-section.

I hope I have small babies... :)

6 pounds 5 ounces. I was a week and a half late. I was supposed to be born Valentine's Day.

I was supposed to be born on valentines too. dont know what I weighed though. I'll have to ask my mom. lol 2 hours and 3 minutes early.

7 pounds 9 ounces...i have no idea of if i was early, on time, or late:rolleyes:

7 pounds, 6 ounces and born smack dab right on time - that's probably why I'm always ultra punctual for everything :)

I don't remember. I was really young at the time.

I was 7 pounds even and 21 inches long when I was born.

I was 8 lbs 11 ounces - but my younger sister was a fatty, 11 lbs and 15 ounces - and my mom (who is an ob-gyn) gave birth to her w/o a c-section or any drugs - how she did it is a mystery, oh the pain!!!

I weighed 7 lbs 9 oz. :) hehe I was a cute baby!!


Nichole

:eek: Wow IowaHawkeye---your sister was ELEVEN POUNDS?!? I thought I was a big baby at 9 pounds 1oz (born natural)! I was really "long" though at 21.5 inches. Haha we should start a new thread about length j/k. What's everyone's length anyway, and did you have hair when you were born?

8-7! :)

I weighed 6 lbs 7 oz.:D

I was seven pounds even.

My dad (depending on whom you ask) was 12-13 pounds. And this was an at home birth in the late 1920's. Needless to say, he is the youngest child in his family.

6lbs. 10oz. 21'' tall (it's on pillow from Grandma)

I was on time, the same day the doctor said.

i was 3-9. I was due on Valentines Day, but decided that December 26th would be more fun.

Me - 5 lbs. 4 oz. - Mom was a smoker but also a small woman.

Hubby - 5 lbs. 2 oz. - Mom never smoked but is a small woman.

Son - 6 lbs. 12 oz. - I am small. Son was natural but labor was induced two weeks early because he was getting huge. I was moved from the birthing unit to a delivery room in case I needed an emergency C-section. Thank goodness it didn't come to that.

Alphagam-alum reminded me! Drugs are good!

I was 8lbs 14oz. My hubby was about the same---
my boys were 8lbs 12oz-- and 9lbs 13.5oz!! The second one was a big one--thank God for csections and drugs!!! :)

I was 6 pounds 10 ounces and a month late! They had to induce my mom because I was not coming out. My brother was 7 pounds 10 ounces and a C-section. The funny thing is if you talk to my mom, I was the most beautiful baby she had ever seen and if you talk to my dad, my brother was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen. So I guess all that stuff about just being happy if it was a healthy baby was crap--my mom wanted a girl and my dad wanted a boy. And they both got what they wanted!

I was about 7.5 lbs I think. Born on my due date, 2 days after Mardi Gras.

My mom was at Mardi Gras right before I was born (the family-oriented parades, not the french quarter debauchery ;) ) and she says she thinks the drums got me moving :)

I was my mommy's 30th birthday present.....I was a nice, average 7 lb 10 oz, born 3 days before her b-day in '72. Now I should have had whopper-sized babies because I was decent size, I am a taller woman, and my husband was huge by twin standards.....he was well over 6 lbs as was his brother. But my daughter was born at 38 weeks (induced due to her tiny size) weighing 4 lb 13 oz. My son was born at 36 weeks (due to me having preeclampsia) weighing 5 lb 3 oz. He might have been fairly big had I made it to term.....I had an u/s at about 32 weeks that estimated he would be between 7 1/2 and 8 1/2 lb at birth.

I might add, once tiny always tiny at least in my family. My daughter is now 3 and she only weighs 26 lbs and is just over 3 feet tall.....such a petite little girl. My son is now 16 months old and weighs 21 lb and is 30 1/2 inches. His 5 month-old cousin outweighs him!!!!!!!

I remember when I was pregnant with my older daughter and we would to to church, she would always "dance" to the organ music. To this day, she's very musically inclined!

I was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 2 weeks late.

7 lbs. 7oz, born on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7th. 3 weeks early, which I am SO glad about, because I would have hated to have been born on the 21st. A December birthday is bad enough, what with the holidays and all. My twin's (in KD) birthday is Christmas, and she always gets shafted!

My (bio)sister was born the same day as you!
I was 6 lbs 15 oz at 6:15 pm. cool huh.

I was about 8 lbs and I was super late (like 2 weeks)... I think my mom was probably starting to wonder if I'd ever come out! But I came out perfectly healthy... I like to say I was fashionably late ;)
