    I had a sonogram yesterday, and from the measurements, the computer estimated 8 pounds 12 ounces. My sisters all had small babies (around 5-6 pounds) but my sisters and I were all over 8 pounds. Anyone else have an 8 pounder?

    Man, I hope he comes soon. My sisters and I were all born past our due dates. I'm like my mom's carbon copy. We even look almost identical!

    i had a big baby...he came out near 10 pounds...course i was very close to 10 pounds when i was born as well...

    don't stress out about the sonogram though... the weight is just that... an estimate...

    and about the due dates...that baby is going to come out when he (any names picked out?) is ready to come out....no woman has stayed pregnant forever....

    lastly...congrats! you're about to become a momma...one of the most important jobs of all....

    my kiddo was 8-3. I weighed all of 98 lbs when I got pregnant, so he was big for my size.

    I just had my baby, 8 days late! So, don't worry, they all come eventually, even if they take their sweet time about it. She was 8lbs 9 ounces. My second was 9lbs one ounce. They said my first was only going to be 3lbs, but he weighed 4lbs. Still tiny, but much better than 3lbs.
