I found out this past weekend that big babies run in my family (at least on my dad's side). My dad weighed 11 lbs. My Uncle weighed 10 lbs. My aunt weighed 11 lbs. My other uncle weighed 11 lbs. Even my youngest brother was bigger than he should've been. He was 2 1/2 months early and weighed 3 1/2 lbs. They were expecting a 2lb baby.
My Grandmother, who is a RN and has at least 10 years OB exp., said that my baby at 14 oz. is pretty big for 19 weeks (which is what he was at the time of the measurement). She thinks that he will take after my dad's side of the family.
I was just curious as to what size babies run in people's families.

I think both of our families are pretty average.

I think my family are average too. Anna and Leah were both in the 7lb, and Kurt (I'm not sure, but I think he) said he was somewhere in the 8lb. I was born one months early and I was 6lb, so I gues I was somewhere 6lb-7lb if I wasn't early. So I think we're average

Hello everyone, I am new to this, but I wanted to reply. I think they do run in the family. My husband was 12lbs 6oz, I was 9lbs 14oz, and both my kids were over 9 pounds. I am pregnant with my 3rd and thanking god that I have c-sections.
