My biggest was 5lb 9oz. Other one was 3lb 11oz. Neither of them popped out cos I had to have ceasarians with both. When I had the little one there was a baby in the special care unit that had been delivered 3 weeks early weighing 13lb 6oz. It filled the cot! Jeanette x

Mine were 6lb 3 and 6lb 13. Just a nice size. Did see one who was about 13lb. They can't help the size they come out as long as they are healthy but the bigger variety don't look like "new" babies.

1st was 5lb 12oz and too lazy to get a move on - he had two goes at it over 48 hours and eventually I gave birth surrounded by student nurses! The second 7lb 3oz and delivered by a male student midwife (his first real birth - don't know who was more nervous!). She was determined to hang herself on the way out - enter one blue baby with blond crew cut! What is it about me that attracts students? - had a student doctor try to do an arterial blood test on me too when I was in for something else - Poor lamb was getting so flustered and my arm was black and blue at his attempts to find an artery until his tutor doctor took over. I must look tolerant....or a fool! lol Magsxx
