Curious: how many of us delivered 14lbs of baby or more?

I am just very curious who delivered approx. 2 x 7lbs+ sized babies. I know there are a few women out here who had, like myself, (very) big twins.

I bascially gave birth to 15 1/2 lbs of baby ... and although the babies always measured ahead, I was and still am surprised they actually got this big.

Just wondering how many of us there out here!

I delivered vaginally, scheduled induction at 38w2d so they were even 12 days early as well.

Thanks,

 

I was close - my first set had a combined weight of 13 1/2 pounds at 38weeks5kdays

My second set was smaller, only 12 1/2 pounds

 

I definitely did not, but this post made me think...
Together all 3 of my were only 11 lbs 2.5 ounces. Crazy that some of you had a lot more than that with just 2.

 

Together mine were 14lbs 10oz, delivered by c-section at 38 weeks. My belly was SO huge, I'm only 5'2" so I looked like I had a basketball under my shirt :lol:

 

Interesting poll...check out my attached stats...and believe me, it felt like it! :lol:

 

13 lbs 13 oz!

 

Mine was 14lb& 6oz, and I delivered at 37wks & 1 day. But my belly got soooo huge at the end..

This is the night before:

I'm glad you ran this poll, I realized I had the wrong weights in my signature (I am toooo sleep deprived)! I originally had 8# 5 oz for each but corrected them...I want full credit for carrying over 17# of baby!

WOW! :blink: That's a lot of baby! I was supposed to have 13lbs according to u/s but it ended up being 12. Still felt like a lot more than 12 though! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

 

I had 15 1/2 pounds.
Gabe was 8 even and Nate was 7 1/2

 

I had 15lbs, 2oz of babies in me. (7#7 & 7#11) 21 inches each.
38 weeks

 

wow - I must've had the smallest term twins...3.5 and 4.5 lbs at 36 wks

 

Mine probably would of been big babes if I had gone full term or close to full term. At 33 wks they weighed in at 5.2lbs each.

 

14 lbs even... Nevan was 8.0 and Norah was 6.0!

 

6.3 and 6.9 for me. And I thought that was a lot of baby.

 

15 lbs 4 oz for me & I felt like I was carry at least 20.

 

15 pounds, 3 oz here! I was enormous.

 

I had 12.5lbs, at 39 weeks. I almost make the group.

Hands down you win! HOLY COW that is a lot of baby! I have a lot of family members that think my girls were "so big for twins" and they were only 6.5 and 6.1. Wait until I tell them about yours!!!

 

I had just over twelve and a 1/2 pounds of baby in there - not bad considering I only gained 35 lbs. My babies came at 37.5 weeks.

 

Hmmm,
Well, if you add all 3 of my kids together, they total 14lbs6oz! hahaha I know that's not what you meant

 

Sorry Meighan, but I think I have you beat:

Campbell was 8 lb, 8oz
and Beckett was 9 lb, 3 oz

17lbs, 11oz total

39 weeks and 5 days--vaginal delivery.

 

Wow, some really big babies out there!!

I delivered just under 13 lbs of babies at 36.6 weeks. If I'd gone another week or two, I'd no doubt have had some big boys too!

 

Campbell was 8 lb, 8oz
and Beckett was 9 lb, 3 oz

17lbs, 11oz total


Whew!!! You certainly do win! Do you mind me asking if you and your DH are avg size or tall? We never understood why all of ours were so large...we are both small to medium size.
All I know is I am glad I will never be pregnant again!

Hope I did this right ...

 

I thought I was overloaded with 11 lbs at 36 weeks. :blink: You ladies rock! :bow2:

 

Wow! Mine were 6.9 and 6.2, total of 12.11 together at 36 weeks 3 days.

Some of you ladies are shining examples to many of the moms in the expecting forum that are worried about trying for vaginal deliveries with twins....not only did you do it with twins but you did it with some very large babies. Bravo to you!!!!

It's also proof that having twins does not mean that you are definitely going to have small babies that are born early...........the female body and miracle of pregnancy never ceases to amaze me.

 

WOW! Big babies. I only had exactly 12 pounds of baby (6-4 and 5-12). My sister had over fifteen (8-something and 7-something). But some of you have her beat. :bow2:

 

Wow, it used to be I was in the top couple of folks. Combined the girls weighed 16.3, double whammy delivery. Lily was 7.2 Bell was 9.1

 

Well, I am still in the expecting forum but this gives me hope that I will make it to my scheduled date!! I was told Monday that the babies are 6lbs 15 and 6lbs 12 at 34.5 weeks (which I know can be off ) and then keep hearing that my body probably won't hold out until then but you ladies prove it can happen

 

Mine were 6lb 5oz and 7lb 8oz... so a total of 13lb 13oz at 36 weeks.
Helen

 

Mine were 8lbs7oz and 7lbs4oz to equal 16lbs1oz at 36w6d...

:bow2: to all of you for carrying such big babies... it wasn't easy!

Wow! that's lots of baby weight.. I don't make the club, Vanessa was only 5 lbs 8 oz, Tatiana 5 lbs 13 oz at 37 weeks..
but, maybe if my membranes weren't ruptured early, I might of gone a full 40 weeks or more.. then maybe I'd have delivered bigger
babies?!

 

Oh I sooo have to get in on this...I don't make small babies!

My twins: Logan 8 lb 5 oz, Marc 8 lb 1 oz so a total of 16 lb 6 oz at 38 weeks 1 day
My first: Kerek 8 lb 2 oz at 38 weeks exactly

I find it amazing that not only did I carry my twins longer (only by 1 day !) but also one of my twins was bigger than my singleton!!!
