I'm having a DFW baby!!

Snaggles,
How far along are you now? I looked like that when I was 10 weeks with no.2-honest!
I don't win but DS was 10lbs 1.5oz. My placenta was over double the normal size as well according to the poor midwife who had to catch him! She was so shocked because I only pushed once and he literally FLEW out!

HOw are you feeling?

Hi Bunny, not feeling too bad thanks, just the usual (achy, tired, stroppy lol)

I'm seven months....my bump looks much bigger in real life, I'm sure! Your DS was quite a size too - I'm starting to get nervous hearing about all these big babies. My midwife told me that your second baby is generally bigger than your first, and DS was nearly 9lbs so I reckon I'm in for at least 10lbs this time. Although they say it's the head circumference that matters, pain-wise, not the overall weight (she says hopefully).

I like the idea of 'one push and out' though - that sounds great!

I had no more pain when having ds than dd although he was a lot heavier. Hmmm....not good to think about! It was a lot quicker though - was induced with ds but v speedy and I think the weight helped him shoot out too!

Oh, so I might be better off having a bigger baby then! That's great news

Oooh can we do a 'guess the baby weight' syndicate thing?

And your bump is really dinky, but blimey look at the boobs on ya lol!!!

Snaggles

Hahaha, I know *blush* - it's fantastic to have a cleavage! They arrived when I was a few weeks pregnant, but I guess I'll have to say goodbye to them after the birth and a few months of breastfeeding. :rolleyes:

Yes, we should do a guess the weight syndicate, that would be funny.

LOL!
Yeah, nice Milk Machines Hun!
DS head circumfrance was 38 cm I think (or 35, lol) and one stitch...
However, I don't go out in high winds for fear of whistling!

One stitch - that's impressive - I had about 40 with DS (not joking either).

I was like that after DD1 Snaggles (won't go into detail you'll be pleased to hear!), but in their infinite wisdom they decided not to stitch me after DD2, the hospital new policy or something.

Unfortunately on my first home visit the midwife checked me and declared I was...what was the medical term again....oh yes, 'a complete and utter mess'! Anyway I then had half the world in to look at how I wasn't healing and one horrible midwife even said (infront of DH I might add) how it was going to take a couple of months and it wouldn't be fair on my husband as he'd have to wait so long - honest to God that's what she said!!! :eek: Que hubby making a quick exit to put the kettle on and me snapping at said midwife before bursting into tears!!

My advice is insist on the stitches, unpleasant but better than the alternative in my experience! :rolleyes:
