Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive April 2005: I'm getting nervous...
please help me chill out.
I wasn't nervous the first time but, I was with my second one because I knew more what to expect. You would think it would have been the other way around but,it wasn't. One of our neighbors is getting ready to deliver baby no# 14 and she has 3 grandkids and one to be born anytime also. This to me says she needs to be done.
#1 was 7 lbs 14 ozs. #2 was 10 lbs 4 ozs. So yes, I was nervous when it came to #3! But she turned out to be a petite 8 lbs 14 ozs. Don't stress about the house. It's all good. Just relax and think about holding that precious new miracle in your arms.
Mine were *small* by today's standards-#1 was 7 lbs. 8 ozs., #2 was 6 lbs. 11 oz. - BUT they were both over 3 weeks early.
It's probably symbolic, the dream I mean.
My 3rd baby was my smallest by nearly a pound. I knew it though. With my middle kid I was just all baby and could feel just how big he was. How do you feel, not is your tummy bigger, but feel around on the baby, how does she feel?
My last was 10 lbs 1/2 oz. I was 5'2" tall and weighed 112 before pregnancy. He slid out like a little greased piggy.
Rylee was 8pounds 1.9ounces, and the doctor didn't think that I would be able to push her out, but I proved her wrong. LOL. What helped me a lot was using a mirror. You will do fine. I remember those crazy pregnancy dreams too. I kept having dreams that Rylee was a boy, and I was freaking out because I had all girl stuff, and her room was painted like a garden. I was not about to paint over what I already painted, and I couldn't return stuff, because all the tags were off, and all the clothes were washed. Thank goodness they were just dreams.
LOL Bea.
LOL Bea
LOL Bea!
lol, breann, that is really weird!
my oldest and my second girl weighed exactly the same 7lbs 13 oz and the twins they weighed 4lb13oz and my boy weighed 5lb 7oz so I really never had the experience of a big baby. but m y brother weighed 11lbs a few onces from being 12.
My 2nd was 8lbs, 15 oz ( of course the one the epidural didn't work for, lol) They had me crazy with my 3rd since I measured big, but she was just a little over 8. I didn't get nervous until the end with my third, I was more like " I know what I have to do but I don't want to" .My first induction didn't work so then I was like " Get out!!" (lol) I know its unpredictable, but I think it does get a little easier with each one. My first labor was 12hrs and so was #2, but #3 was 3 hrs from pain to baby. The nurse said if I had dd natural I could easily have the 9 pounder they were preparing me for, but I had my doubts. Good luck!
My oldest was 7lbs, 13 oz at 39 weeks. My ds was 9lbs, 4oz at 37 weeks. They told me he would have been close to 11lbs if I'd gone full-term with him. My third was 7lbs, 11oz at 38 weeks. My dh and I were both barely over 5 lbs at birth so I don't think anything can really predict how much a baby will weigh or how easy or tough a labor will be. I'm sure you'll do great! We'll all be cheering you on.
Lets see that comment about toddlers made me laugh. Timmy was 10lb 2oz and really long they said 2 in above what standard. Jade was 9lb 6oz and the same length as her brother. They said they are not sure how I kept them both in so long because they were both so long. And we I went 2 weeks over with Timmy. And was 9 days over with Jade. Both over due due to DR.s 2nd guessing my due date when they shouldn't have. I probably would have had 8lb babies instead if I was on my due date.
mine were 6 1-1/2 and 7pds 3 oz. my mom says oh is that why you didn't want a third lol because of the difference i was like well that's one of the reasons lol i was i think 9pounds 1 oz and it was funny when my mom went into have my sister 7 years later they gave her an epsiotomy(sp?) and she says why are you doing that for i had a 9 pound baby without one lol = ) i guess things changed in 7 years lol = ) i was scared with both of them of course i think maybe more with the second because i knew what it was all about lol = )
mine were #1 dd 7 lbs. 13 ozs, #2 ds 7 lbs. 4 ozs. , #3 ds 7 lbs. 4 ozs., and #4 ds 6 lbs. 9 ozs. With all of the boys I was as big around as I was tall and I am only 5' 2" but I was huge.
mine were #1 ds 8lbs 12 ozs, #2 dd 4lb 7 ozs, #3 ds 9lb 13ozs. My first son tore me, and i needed stitches. My dd was premature. Last son I guess I was already stretched and I didn't rip with him!! My dil was due Sunday, she has had several false alarms and then nothing. We have an appt on Monday, she will be a week overdue, they're going to give her a stress test. You'll be alright, you can do it!!!!
Try not to worry too much, your body was designed to do this and, no matter how much your baby weighs at birth, once you hold her in your arms it'll all be worth it!
