Does anyone know - does baby's birth weight relate to mum and dads ? I was 6lb2 (overdue) and DH was 6lb5. Does this mean I might have a nice 6lb'er ???

i dont think it goes on that, not sure though, i was 7.14 and oh was 5lb and our son was 8lb xx

I think the baby will weight what it weighs, I odnt really believe in myths about it weighing what we weighed

I was 6lb and my hubby was 7lb4oz, my little girl was 7lb1oz. I feel a lot bigger with this baby so god knows what she will weigh

i was 8lb 2 and my ex was 9lb something. My dd was 8lb 7 and half. me and my husband are due our baby in january and i was 8lb 2 (like i already said) and he was 9lb 4 ish so im not exactly looking at a small baby i dont think!!

Not neccesarily. oh was 4lb at birth and i was 9lb at birth dd was 6lb 8oz.
My mate was 6lb at birth and so was her fella but both her boys wer eover 9lb at 40 weeks and 39weeks.x

I think it does have something to do with parents birth weight. My mw said so as well. I am hopeing my little man will be no more than 7lb, I am only petite I was born 3 months early at 2lb so I don't count but hubby was over 6lb, that would do me nicely!

I was 8lb 11 and my hubby was 9lb 5, but my little boy was only 7lb 15!!!!

I asked my MW this and she said it does have a bearing on it. I was 10lb 11.5oz and hubby was a little dot as was prem so i'm hopeing for somewhere inbetween but knowing my luck he'll be like my side of the family and be a monster!! lol

my family all have big babies! my grandma had 7 all over 10lb! me and my sister were both over 9lb as was my little boy!

dont think so hun,i was only 2lb 14oz at birth but my girls were both just under 9lb and this one is looking a good size 2 xx

i was 7lb 2oz and hubby was 7lb something. my 1st was 8lb 6oz 10 days late and 2nd was 9lb 7oz 3 days early. xxx

unfortunatly not lol both my and my oh were abt 6lb and our lo's were born 8lb and 9lb 6oz xxx

I was 8lb 12oz my husband was 6lb 1oz. Our daughter was 7lb 15oz at birth and our new son born this week was 8lb 10oz

I think birth weight is dependant on so many factors that yours n hubbies birth weight may give you a guide but as alot of the girls on here have already shown it isn't always the case other things such as your diet, smoking and environmental factors all play a part.
Speaking with a midwife at aquanatal class on Tuesday she said the average birth weight is rising because of improved diets etc so your baby is likely to be bigger than you were!

I wouldn't say it does...

Both hubby and I were 7lb but our baby son was 8lb 2oz!
