Is it possible for large babies (ie, 9-11 lbs at birth) to run in a family?
My husband's side of the family keeps telling me (proudly!) that large
babies run in their family.


Well, there are links between the father's mother and pre-eclampsia.
I was also told that the father *usually* determines the weight as
well. (Told to me by a midwife and a doctor... didn't look into it at
all.)

So I would say that it is possible.
