how big was your 42-weeker?

I'm getting nervous my baby will be huge. I hear they gain 1/2 lb a week in the end- does that increase if they are overdue? Can I expect a baby 1 lb more than my first two (both of whom were almost 9 lbs already)?

My DS was almost 2 weeks late and was just under 8lbs.

42wks on the nose and 7lb1oz.

I'd been warned that DC would be 8 or 9lbs if on time. Clearly the baby would have been 6lbs or even less had I given birth on the due date so don't worry too much.

I was a 42 weekenf, and I was 9lb 4oz. My 40w ds was 11lb 6oz. Ya just don't know!

My 41w3d DD was 6 lb 5 oz-- they might actually lose weight at the end as the placenta deteriorates.

Only 41 weeks here, but she was 9lb 12oz

I can't imagine going to 42 weeks. Good luck!

42 weeks on the dot, 10lbs 3 oz. But he came out after 7 hours of labor, 20 minutes of pushing, no stitches. It isn't all about the size!

My first baby was a day shy of 42 weeks. 7 pounds 6 ounces.
