I feel sorry for the kid. Life is a struggle. First he has to spend years in school competing against all the other kids. Then he has to find a job. Then he will get laid off or fired. Eventually his job skills will be outdated and then he will have to go back to school. He will constantly worry he hasn't put away enough money for his kids education. He will worry about saving enough for retirement. Tough luck, kid.



Oh, wait.

Would you trade places with him if you had the choice?

I ask that question to myself and it's an emphatic "No". Actually, "tough luck, kid" is a pretty accurate statement IMO.

I always thought 6lbs was average.
At 40 weeks, 6 lbs would be considered small for gestational age (below the 10th percentile for weight).

My smallest was 9lbs. My biggest was 11lbs.

8lbs is pretty small.
11 lbs is huge, and is considered large for gestational age (above the 90th percentile for weight). At that size, they'd be wondering about things like maternal diabetes, etc. (but it could very well be a perfectly healthy baby).

At 41 weeks, 8 lbs is roughly average, if not a bit on the bigger size.

Wow! Babies are big nowadays. I was considered a big baby in 1957 at 7lb 6 oz.
Hmm... I don't think that was really true for normal pregnancies even in 1957.

Maybe so amongst your family or whatever esp. if you are Asian. (East Asians have smaller babies on average.)

The average weight of a newborn is 7.5lbs, the normal range is 5.5-10lbs. Only about 5% fall outside this range.

All moms usually tend to say they had a big baby or a small baby. In reality, they just had a normal one.

My daughter was over 10lbs. She was the biggest baby delivered that day apparently. (I'm not sure if they included babies from diabetic mothers). My son was 9 lbs.

Yeah, I might. But I would announce on my 18th birthday I would not be King.

Otherwise, at least considering the example the current Queen has set, its an incredible burden and not something I would like to spend my life doing.

I was 11lbs IIRC. :hmm:

EDIT: lol, I was way off. Asked my mom, and coincidentally I was also 8lbs 6oz, and the heaviest of my siblings.
