I lost 23 pounds while pregnant with Jackson, but at the very end I gained all but 8 pounds back. Jackson weighed 8 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. :)

I voted 5-6 lbs. But... DS was 2-1/2 weeks early and the babies in my family tend to be on the small side. I don't think it was because of HG.

My first was 6lb 15oz
my twins were 5lb14oz and 6lb 11oz
my last was 7lb 5oz

Smaller babies tend to run in my family though. I was only 6lb 13oz when I was born and DH was around 5lb.

My 3 were all within 3 oz of each other. Despite what they say about overdue babies getting too big, Brody was 7lbs 8oz at 42 weeks and Avery was 7lbs 11oz at 42 weeks. Reilly was 7lbs 9oz at 39 weeks, and I doubt she would have gotten much bigger had she stayed in those extra weeks. Healthy, average-sized babies, and right in the middle of my 7-lb birthweight and DH's 8.5-lb weight.

I added Kimi's in the first page, but since then JJ has come along. She was induced and born 2 days early, and was 8lb 14oz, so smaller than Kimi but now weighs over a lb more than kimi at the same age.

dd weighed in at 8 pounds 15 ounces and was 9 days late. i lost over 20lbs the first tri and 15ish more in the second and gained back just a few.

she is the biggest baby on both sides of the family by a good pound and a half...dh was 7.8 and i was 5.10. the largest baby on either side before her is 7.10..

i am hoping to go on time or a bit early with this one as i want to avoid a c-section if possible. dd was born with shoulder dystocia....8.15 is as big as my pelvis allows and that's pushin it... :o

talked with my MW the other day and they are gonna do a few scans in the 3rd tri to check on size..Yay....

My 1st had IUGR which I believe was due to the severe HG not being treated properly. He blessedly weighed 5lbs 15ozs.

My 2nd (milder HG) came of his own accord 3 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 8ozs.

My 3rd (moderate HG) was full term at 7lbs 10ozs.

My husband and I both weighed about what my 3rd did.
