Well.. my 2 pre-op babies were 6lbs 15ozs and 7lbs 7ozs. My first post RNY baby was 7lbs 13ozs and the baby girl I'm carrying now is measuring ahead for her gestational age.. so she's gonna be a big one I'm assuming! *~Joy~* Lap RNY @ 491lbs 2/26/01 Mommy to: (5) , Saralyn (4), Hunter (7/3/03) and #4 due sometime in September '04!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I wouldnt worry about the size to much as her health ..as long as she is healthy thats all that matters i just had my son on the 13th of may and he was 5pnds 13 oz and he even dropped in weight to 5 pnds 7 oz and today he is back up to 5 pnds 10 oz but he is healthy and thats all that matters to me..i do get a little fusterated with the clothing because they dont make a lot of preemie clothes and what they do make is far and between and expensive..but i manage to find enough to get him buy mostly jamies but at least now he has some clothes that will fit him till he can grow into his 0-3 months clothes..i had him at 37 weeks 2 days .. so just a couple of weeks early...anyways good luck with ur little one and congrats! > I'm home from the hospital.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I was 3 years post open RNY and my little guys was born at 36 weeks weighing 6# 9oz and was 19 1/8 inches long. He would have been " average " weight/length if he had been on time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
