Hi..My Sis and i were prem,weighed 4lbs...Ive had 2 babies,one was 7lb 10oz,and 2nd was 8lb 9oz ,I was told you have babies to fit your size xxx
As far as I know there is no relationship between the weight of babies in different generations. It seems unlikely given that babies who are not premature can be born 40 weeks +/- 2- 3 weeks- and will be of different weights if early or late. Many women have babies of very different weights. My mother had babies ranging from under seven pounds to over 10. Mine were all early so seven and under- but my three sisters filled in all the other gaps in my mother's range. As one might expect- since that is the range of weights for bies born. The exception here would be if you and your mother were diabetic- when you might both have big babies.

I havent had the pleasure of labour myself yet but when i do get to that point i will be expecting a big baby. I was 10,2 and my brother was 9,6 my dad was 11,2 and his dad was 13,2! Also my husband was fairly big at 8,11. Luckily though, i too have child bearing hips. I just wish i had a reason for them...i.e a baby!
I was about 7lb 7oz and all my Mum's other babies (3 more) went up about a pound each time. All the women in my Mum's family were about the same. I was the first female in my family to give birth to what they considered a small baby at 6lb 10oz. My second daughter was 7lb 10oz. Not sure how true the weight thing is but I am glad I inherited the child bearing hips!!
well i was 1lb 13oz, my 1st was 3lb 13oz, my second was 5lb 6oz, & my 3rd was 1lb 5oz, i was born at 26 weeks & i've never gone over 35
i was 8lb 6oz n my son was 9lb 3oz at a week early, hate to think what he would have been if i went full term lol x
hi i was 7lb 13oz my sis was 7lb 2oz and my brother was 9lb, my 1st was 8lb and my 2nd was 5lb 1oz and my sis had a boy who was 7lb, i think its just old wives tales and that alot of it is coincidence although i do think it runs in some families but alot of ppl have said that bigger babies are easier 2 come out xx
