I carried quite big with both Conor and Nyah and they were 9pd 9oz and 9pd 6oz. With Cooper I was definitely smaller and he was 7pd 2oz... so I think it's different for everyone....doesn't it annoy you the way people think they can predict how big your baby is going to be? ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 22:09:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241888&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241888 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : Small bump, Small baby here.

Small bump, Small baby here.

LOL! I had big bumps & big babies. But my midwife said the size of the bump means nothing, but the fundus height is a better indicator.... She was pretty accurate at guessing the size of my first boy anyway!]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 12:00:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241451&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241451 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : yeah I wouldn&#039;t have except...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241435&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241435 Author: Bobbie

yeah I wouldn't have except my friend was like (at the top of her voice) "can someone other than Kate pick this up for me?" and I thought bugger this! I can do it.

After two attempts with my bum in the air I finally got it and decided yeah, in the future someone else could bloody well do it.]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:30:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241435&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241435 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : Bobbie, I dont even bother trying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241405&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241405 Author: lilfatty

I have a large bump for how far along I am - I think I might be rivaling some mummies due in early Dec! But I don't think I have a particularly large baby (well didn't on last scan) and also don't have excessive amniotic fluid.

It's just the way I'm carrying and where the baby is sitting.

I was at a fireworks evening last night and overheard a few people saying how big I was for how far along I was - love the fact that I get that behind my back! Gee thanks! Was made better when I had to ungracefully bend over to pick something off the ground.]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 10:59:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241394&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241394 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : no ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241358&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241358 Author: fattartsrock

I carry small compared to my baby sizes: Kiya was an average 3.54kg (7lb 13) and Josiah was smaller at 3.18kg (7lb even), and my baby bumps were about the same size. I was a little bigger with Xavier, but after he was born at 4.02kg (8lb 14) my midwife wanted to know where I was hiding him!

Bump size doesn't usually have anything to do with baby size, in my experience.]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 09:49:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241325&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241325 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : I had a huge bump and a huge baby!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=241311&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#241311 Author: sparkle

They've said it all. It wasn't until the day before my due date that my MW asked about big babies in the family - when she was having a bit of a feel around.

Once Blair arrived (9lb 2oz) I think there was some surprised people - especially people who had seen me in the week and a half before his turned up. I don't think I was that big (and I gained less than 10kg between wk9 and week 40.]]> Sun, 04 Nov 2007 08:42:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=240840&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#240840 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : no it doesnt, everyone carries...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=240832&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#240832 Author: mum2emj

no it doesnt, everyone carries differently, has different fluid levels, baby in differetn positions... i had 2 cousins recently pregnant at the same time- one was tiny and the other quite big. the bigger carrier had a 7lb baby exactly and the smaller had an 8lb5oz baby. ]]> Sun, 04 Nov 2007 07:46:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=240832&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#240832 <![CDATA[does a big bump = a big baby : Everyone always told me i looked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12000&PID=240823&title=does-a-big-bump-a-big-baby#240823 Author: MelanieAndBree

As far as I know the size of the bump means very little...some have a HUGE bump and have a 6 pound baby while others have smaller bumps and have a 9 pound baby.
