Large babies?
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. My sister in law had 2 c-sections- I am not sure how much her DD weighed but her DS was taken early, she said the doctors told her he would have been almost 12 pounds- I think he was 11 early. But supposedly, all the women on my husband's side have 10 pounders, according to what everyone says. My husband's mother had 2 large babies and one was premature so he was small...his cousins and aunts and uncles had a lot of large babies too. I am just wondering if there is something to this or it's coincidence. Most of the babies that I know about on my side have been more in the 7-8 lb range, but I have never gone around asking cousins, aunts, etc ..but boy my husband's family is proud of their "big babies". lol. I am not going to predict my baby based on the others. But the thought of a 12 pound newborn is frightening to me sort of. |
