[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't heard of such thing and mine have always been huge. They are 6'3 now. Are there any other health problems? [/quote]

I’m OP. No, the baby has been totally healthy- he’s not crawling yet, and he was a little slower to roll over, but I would think because of his size. No gestational diabetes either, and he was 8.5 lbs at birth so not a world record, but I was induced at 39 weeks. I do suspect he is just going to be a big guy.[/quote]

SO how big is he right now?  My 99th percentile 2 year old was born at 38 weeks (spontaneous) and weighed 8 pounds 12 oz.  He is now 2 and weighs 38 pounds and is 37" tall.  So big.  But I never thought to take him to an endo!  Nor has my pediatrician said anything.  DH and I are relatively normal size (5'10" and 5'7" respectively).[/quote]

OP. Wow, that is big. He is 26.5 lbs and 31 inches at 8 months. I am only 5’2” though.[/quote]

PP here - I wouldn't find that overly concerning. My big 2 year old was 29 pounds by 1.  But if you and your ped are concerned its worth getting checked out! [/quote]
