Huge baby

[58ford]

A friend of mine had a baby on Friday.
Although the kid was three weeks premature & is in NICU the Mom & kid are doing well.
Here's the kicker, the kid is ten pounds seven ounces!
She's a pretty big girl, but holy christmas, you gotta have balls of carbide steel to squeeze out a young'un that size!

O.K. I was talking to someone on Friday, and they were talking about a family member in the hospital having a baby by c-section. Said the baby was a month early but they weren't concerned because it weighed 10 lbs. Wonder if it's the same person???

Imagine crapping a 10# watermelon.

I would rather not. Ha. God bless these women

Might be, I can't imagine that many 10 pounders are born every day.

well, the delivery wouldn't have been as bad if it was done by c-section, as citygirl stated, as opposed to "regular" delivery!

i had 2 boys, the first one weighed 9lb 12-1/2oz; the second one weighed 9lb 4 oz. both were "regular" delivery, although the first one i was knocked out right after i had dilated to 9 (and about 15 min. before the actual delivery). the second one, while i was pregnant, i was on a restricted diet for gestational diabetes, and i actually only gained 5-1/2 lbs the entire pregnancy, and considering the baby was 9lb 4 oz, i actually LOST weight to have him! i had him regular delivery also, but had an epidural -- which made ALL the difference!! :)

my doctor said it appeared that i just delivered football players!

Sweetie, the minute they hand you that baby, you pretty much forget . . .

sorry, herm, i have to disagree. i used to hear that all the time before i had my babies.

i haven't forgotten what the pain felt like and all i went through, BUT... what i got as a RESULT of that pain was WORTH IT ALL! :smt054

[HorseWhisperer]

I am a big cry baby when it comes to needles. Cuts, scrapes, bruises none of that bugs me. I can fall off a horse and not cry, but last time I was at the doctor she says "Lets check that blood sugar" I started crying right there. Im serious. Mama was so embarrased but I am so scared of needles.

Guess they gave me better drugs! :)

my sister had a baby in august. and he only weighed 6lb. 3oz. and was 6 days early. she had a c-section b/c she could never get past 4cm.

but he was a little bitty thing!

The little girl in my avatar (red plaid dress) is my granddaughter. Weighed 4'13" born by section a month early, never even had to be in the nursery, was able to room-in from the first night. Her daddy weighed 8'1" when he was born, so when I went to see her the first time, I thought she looked like a babydoll, not a real baby. Being tiny didn't hold her back though, she's amazingly smart (at 4 1/2 could count by two's both with even and odd numbers. Her daddy taught her the evens, and then she thought of counting by odds by herself. Also grasps the concept of a thousand.) Not that anyone's proud or anything . . . ;)

i'm so, so sorry for u, HW. when i was real young, of course, i didn't like needles and shots, but as i got older, it really didn't bother me (other than if the person giving the shot didn't know how to give it right or if someone trying to put in an iv or draw blood didn't do it right).
of course, i'm diabetic and have to give myself insulin shots twice a day, so i had no choice about being scared.
i hope that u will get over ur fear, because i think we all have our phobias, and i know how "real" they are! :)

My second and LAST child was 10/6...Naturally. (no time for drugs) If I would have known before hand he was going to be that big, I'd still be carrying him.

[HorseWhisperer]

Lol... I hope I outgrow that fear too! I am also deathly afraid of spiders, now a mouse im fine, but if i see a spider I scream and jump on nearest object (table, chair, 3rd period teachers desk on exam day. {it happened})

Don't feel bad about that. I had an uncle by marriage who flew "the Hump" in WWII armed only with a pistol, and was deathly frightened of spiders.
(He was flying cargo planes over the Himalayas, over enemy territory, essentially unarmed.)

My doctor just swore my first born would be about a 10 pounder - but he ended up being just 7 lbs 10 oz. It just took 19 hours to deliver him. Once they laid him on my stomach - I didn't care how long or how difficult it was, until I tried to sit up. Ouch!!

Horsewhisper - I use to be terrified of needles too, but I eventually overcame most of the panic. I still scrunch my eyes and look away whenever someone comes near me with a needle. But if you really want to see me scream like a girl and run - let me see a snake. I don't even like them on TV. ugh.
