My son was 4.39kg or 9lb 11oz. It was a pretty bad birth. I tore twice. The worst one was internal. He had his hand by his face. I lost 2 litres of blood too. There were other things too which weren't very nice, but i won't get into that. At his 9 month check he was 10.2kg & 77cm long.

I can add my DH to the list he was number 4 and a healthy 11lb 4 - bag on 5kgs born. All of my MIL's babies were over 10lb as well. All are now over 6f tall (DH is the tallest at 6f 4, and my SIL is 6f) and apart from SIL they all sit around 90-100 odd kgs.

Caitlin was 9lb 7oz (4285g) and 52cn. She stayed a "big baby" until she started to walk and then she really slimmed down (I really miss her rolls!  ). 24mths Plunket check she was 11.5kg and 84cm and I've even been asked (not by Plunket) how premmie she was 
Caitlin also got "stuck" she was posterior, head was semi-flexed and she had the cord wrapped around her neck twice. So she was determined not to come out that way, we had an emerg C-section.

I had the twins comment as well from quite early on, and we were told that Daniel would prob be a big baby. Well, 9 days overdue and I was induced and he came out as a 7pd 8oz baby! I guess you just never know how they'll turn out. He's now 8 and a half months is about 9.5 kg. Slightly above average I think?!

My boy was 10lb 8oz, born through emergency c-section after 20 odd hours of labour, only ever made it 7cm dilated because his head was huge and he couldn't push down enough.
He has stayed solid and weighed in the other day at 18kgs.

We had some idea that Kaelen was gonna be a decent size. lol. From about 7 months pregnant i started measuring ahead. At 40 weeks i was measuring 44. My stomach got pretty big. He felt big & solid when he would move around. He was such a wriggler & caused me so much pain. My ribs were always SO sore & man did it hurt when he'd move his head around. OUCH. My midwife guessed he would be between 8-9lb. His length was 55cm & his head was 37cm.
