[quote=Anonymous]My first went to 42 weeks, and was 8.5 pounds. It wasn't his size, it was his huge pumpkin head that was difficult. I don't think giving birth any earlier would have made a difference. My second was born on her due date and was under 7 pounds. My third went to 42 weeks (last several weeks I was certifiably crazy) and ended up being 10 pounds 4 oz. My midwives had thought she was an average 8 pounder -- go figure. Her size was not an issue -- fat is squishy plus she was #3 so labor went really quickly. I must say, it was great having a chunky monkey -- she looked like a month old baby and was just super sturdy from the get-go. It's all genetics, at least for my kids -- my oldest still has the pumpkin head, my middle is still tiny for her age (~65 pounds at 10 1/2) and my youngest is enormous for her age (at least 10 and probably 15 pounds heavier than my 10 year old, and just as tall if not taller).[/quote]
