I looked quite big but I think that was because I carried a lot out front. But Rowan was way below average weight - 5pd 11 (2.5kg) and I had virtually no amniotic fluid left when she came out so god knows what all the bump was.

Actually I do know - fat! It's still there! ]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:45:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358596&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358596 <![CDATA[small bumps - big babies : oh and josh would have been head...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358496&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358496 Author: WRXnKids

Maya I carried fairly small (but I was big to start with) and she was a 9lb1oz 38-weeker. Mind you, just coz I didn't *look* big, my midwife still picked up on her being big for dates and sent me for a growth scan at 36 weeks (at that stage she was 7lb9oz approx!)
The gremlins I carried HUGE and they were HUGE for singletons of their gestation, let alone twins - 6lb8oz and 7lb1oz.
This one I am already measuring 2 weeks ahead (FH) and a week ahead (scan measurements),and carrying big so time will tell how big she pops out.]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:36:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358442&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358442 <![CDATA[small bumps - big babies : oh crap thats huge almost life...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358393&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358393 Author: WRXnKids

I carried small (same as Topsy until 39 weeks when I got a bit bigger) - Jack was IUGR but then had a growth spurt thank god. FH was measuring 5 weeks behind and I never fully fit maternity clothes as the bump wasn't big enough to hold the stretchy stuff up. Jack was 7lb 10oz so just under average.]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:26:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358114&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358114 <![CDATA[small bumps - big babies : My fundal height was HUGE according...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358074&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358074 Author: Neeks

I don't think I was that big to the extent my MW wanted an extra scan at 32 weeks to check on bubs growth. Turned out he was sitting on the 75th percentile, and ended up being 9lb 2oz. ]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:43:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358070&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358070 <![CDATA[small bumps - big babies : average sized bump and average...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=358007&title=small-bumps-big-babies#358007 Author: ElfsMum

My bump at 28wks, I gave birth 5wks later to 4lb 14oz baby (which doesn't sound big but that would've equated to an 8-9lb fullterm baby)



I thought this bump was pretty big for 28wks. Most people I talked to thought I was already due I had grown a fair bit again by the time I gave birth.

I was huge with Conor he was 9lb 9oz, with Nyah I was bigger and she was 9lb 6oz, with Cooper I was alot smaller (although I didn't feel it) and he was 7lb 2oz.

I don't know if I'd say I had a small bump. You definitely couldn't tell from behind.

But then I had a 9lb 6oz baby and everyone was shocked!]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:07:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=357906&title=small-bumps-big-babies#357906 <![CDATA[small bumps - big babies : No stretch marks for you then?!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=357884&title=small-bumps-big-babies#357884 Author: babyg

I *felt* huge, but I don't think I was. A lot of people were surprised when I told them I was further along than they thought.

The day before Hannah came


She was 7lb 5oz

two women I have known who have been pregnant and are quite slim (both most likley got back to their pre pregnant weight or close to after they have their babies) both had small bumps (couldnt tell they were pregnant from behind unlike me..lol) anyway they had a 9lb and a 9lb2oz baby.. I had a bigger bump and my girl was 8lb15oz.

so just curious did you have a big or small bump and was your baby big or small..]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 23:50:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16395&PID=357717&title=small-bumps-big-babies#357717
