I was 3 pounds 4 ounces when I was born, but this little girl was less than a pound!! :shocked:

I find stuff like this fascinating, and wondered if anyone here was either a small baby themselves or has had a small one.

Actually, lets find out the two extremes... I'd like to know of the unusually heavy ones among you too ;)

love to help, but I was 4lb 4oz ;)


Apart from the obvious sense of something amazing that such a small baby could survive (and the slightly larger sibling), I also found it fascinating that they have had laser treatment to correct vision problems.

- bless :)

I was 'average' - 7lb 7ozs, but I have given birth to a 10lb 3 1/2oz lump! It was ok really as I was unconscious at the time (pre epidural days!) but the next was a 'petite' 9lb 13 ozs and I didn't feel a thing! :D
