I was 7lbs 4 oz, Chris (baby's daddy), was 7lbs 8oz, Chris's son from his first relationship was 7lbs 6oz. Is this a good determination of what our baby will be, roughly in the 7's? Because we were that size? The last ultrasound I had the doc said the baby was 'about' 4 1/2 lbs, and I only have 7 weeks to go. WHat do you think?

well no and no. lol

Alot of the time doctors are waaayy off when they make an estimate on the baby's weight. Also I was like 6 something and Hannah's dad was mabey 7 something, and Hannah was almost 9 lbs. Everything depends on a number of factors...

I know youre all anxious to know everything, but there is no way to tell exactly how big your baby will be untill you have it!

I was either 5 something or 6 something (I was one and my twin sister was the other I just cant remember what)

and Hannah's father was 1 pound when he was born cause he was 3 months early

and Hannah weighed 8lbs 8 ounces

Babies are getting bigger as time goeson ,it's a fact. My husband and I are both 9lb and all our bubs have been over 9lb with the exception of one the fact is you can never really tell how big they will be until they are born ,it hurts no matter how big they are Laughing

My son was much bigger then eighter my husband or I, I don't think that parents birth weight is much of a judge of baby's birth weight.

I don't think it has anything to do with it. I was 6lbs 3oz at 10 days early, my son was 11 days early and was 8lbs 4oz. No idea what my hubbys birthweight was.
