Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 best of luck as you go through this labor. My 15 year old daughter was induced and it was really nice as they made her have an epidural They thought the baby was arond 7 pounds and she was almost 9 pounds. As far as weight goes.. my typical kid was only 5 and 1/2 pounds and my special needs kid was 8 pounds. Sounds like your baby will be a healthy weight. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 You will be in our prayers. Take care of yourself and try to get as much rest as possible until the little one arrives. Let us know when you return home how all went. And of course a photo if you can. :) I just love babies. I know I have 9 kids, but if I didn't have a genetic issue, I know I would have had more as I am only 34 years old. Talk to you soon.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 --Good Luck ! You can count on prayers from over here. Lets hope the little guy doesn't gain a few pounds overnight! Hugs, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 , My prayers and good thoughts are coming your way. Speaking as an OB nurse, they are seldom right on the birth weight until they put that dear baby on the scale. Think happy thoughts and we will all be waiting anxiously to hear some good news.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi : Good luck with the delivery. You are right that you may be overanalyzing it with weight issues. Two of my kids were small and one large. My sister had three smaller babies and her last one was over 8 lbs and now he is a small one in size. But we are petite people. But remember the average size baby is suppose to be around 7 lbs if not mistaken. Every mother gets a little worried during delivery. Can't wait to hear the news. We have been following your pregnancy this past year and now comes the best part, the delivery. Also please send a photo ASAP. We love viewing those new babies. Good luck and know we are all thinking of you and your family. Nerenhausen mom to Leah albregra@... wrote: If possible, could I please have mail stopped from Monday, Sept. 13 through Wed. Sept. 15th.
