For those of you who have children, how large were your babies at birth? If you don't have kids, do you know how much you weighed and how long you measured?

It would also be fun to see a list of all the Duggars by weight and length as well!
ReplyDeleteDo you have that list already on the blog? Maybe you could post a link to it as well :)
Are you meaning as babies? Or now? I had already pushed the button for the above comment when I then realized you probably meant as babies. Sorry
DeleteI agree, I'd love to see and compare!
DeleteMy firstborn was 6lbs 8oz, 20 inches.
ReplyDeleteMy second was 7lbs 1 oz, 19.3 inches.
My third was 7lbs 3oz, 19.7 inches.
Or 3.110 kg and 60cm, 3.250 kg and 49 cm and 3.330 kg and 50cm.
I was a preemie myself. Born at 36 weeks, weighing 4lbs 6oz and measuring 18 inches.
My babygirl was 6lbs 5oz (2870 gram) and about 19 inches (48cm) long. Born after 37 weeks and 5 days pregnancy. To be honest, I was very thankfull she didn’t wait a week or 3 longer and gained more weight, she was big enough for delivery imo...
DeleteI was a preemie as well, born at 25 weeks. 1lb, 10oz
DeleteMy boys were all full term, in fact, the two youngest were born 7 and 4 days past due date. Only my first came the day before due date. But giving birth to smaller babies runs in the family. I don't think I'd have much problem delivering heavier babies, as long as the head circumference doesn't go above 36+37 cm.
DeleteBut I'm glad I didn't end up with a 10 pounder, like Joy Anna. That's a serious sized baby to deliver naturally. But my goodness what a cutie.
yes, only Jessa, Joy's sister delivered a nine pound naturally and that was Spurgeon!
Delete1st- 8lbs 7oz Girl
Delete2nd- 9lbs 7oz Girl
3rd- 10lbs 7of Boy (Drug free with the last child :)
C. Frydenlund. Joy had a C-Section
DeleteHealthy boys & girls! 👣🎁❤🙏😇
ReplyDeleteI was 7 even for weight and 21 and a half inches in length. I was born 2 weeks before my due date, though.
ReplyDeleteSo far it looks like the Duggar daughters have the trend to have the heavier kids (vs the in law Duggar wives).
ReplyDeleteThe next wedding can't come quickly enough lol!
ReplyDeleteLauren wil have a baby soon.
DeleteThats at least nine months away at least, then they can add more birth weight stats to the list so exciting!
DeleteWith so many it is not really special anymore. Maybe when they are cute baby's but not when they are older.
ReplyDeleteI believe every child is special. And I still get very excited when a duggar grandbaby (or any baby for that matter 😊) is on the way.
DeleteEvery single life that God creates is special!!!!
DeleteEveryone is important!
DeleteThat's a rude thing to say. I am sures that there parents and grandparents think they are all very special! No matter how old. How special your life is should not depend on how old or how cute you are.
DeleteYou clearly don’t have children.. not special anymore?? Really?? Wow. I am one of 12 and I have 4 of my own. I assure you, wach one of of those births were special and celebrated.
DeleteWOW! Really? How is it not special to welcome a child into the world and watch that child grow? I hope you are not a parent and never will be.
DeleteMy friend was one of 9 and sorry, but her parents did not have a lot of time for her. She was one of many kids. And they had seen everthing before. So i understand what you mean.
DeleteYeah, I think its great when any baby is born. I'm about the babies. Although I was very anxious when Princess Charlotte was overdue, lol
Delete2:28, not all parents are like that, every baby is different than the last and I don’t see how someone could continue adding to their family without appreciating and finding time for all their children
DeleteMaybe the poster meant that it’s not a surprise for there to be new Duggar babies, they seem to start their families right off the bat with no struggles. All babies are special gifts, in many families couples wait sometimes years to have their first or struggle with fertility issues. For these families isn’t as expected as it is for the Duggars.
DeleteWow gideon was way to big. Poor Joy
ReplyDeleteI was 10lbs even and my mom had me naturally with a mid wife. Pretty sure its rude to say 10lbs is way to big. I`m a very healthy 5'6 120lbs now. Each baby and each birth is different.
Delete10 pounds is not unusual for a baby.
DeleteMy friend has a baby who was 10lbs 8oz. He should have had a C-section but didn't and now has issues with his right arm. As a baby he couldn't move it ad all. Almost a year of intense therapy and he is finally moving it a little more. He needed surgery too.
DeleteThere was a time when babies over 9 pounds indicated gestational diabetes, 10 pounds is at the top of the birth weight expectation and will more likely require c section or other intervention. Yes, many are born without extra help.
DeleteI am one of six. My parents thought each one of us were special.
Deletetime 1:21PM MON 6/18
ReplyDeleteGREAT.
I was 13lbs 5ox, my hubby was 12.5 lbsband our boy was 13.5 lbs. all natural delivery too!
ReplyDeleteHow could you do that? I would've tore to pieces. I tore with my 7 lb'er that I can't imagine that!
DeleteOuch lol
DeleteThat’s pretty impressive!!
DeleteThis has got to be a joke
DeleteWow!
DeleteThat's amazing! Way to go mama! Mine were all natural births, but my biggest was only 9 lb 3 oz lol
DeleteIt's called genetics, some women are built to bare large babies with no problems.You can't compare a woman's body we are all made different.My Aunt is 4'11" and she has delivered three babies natural all weighing 10.5lbs.and she had no complications...bless her heart❤.😄😇
DeleteMy oldest child weighed 9.5 lbs. My 2nd & 3rd children weighed 7 & 8 lbs respectively, and my twins weighed 7.1 lb & 6.1 lb. The twins were 3 wks early. I did have gestational diabetes with my first child only, but I don't have problems with my sugar now. I thank the Lord for that.
ReplyDeleteMy 3 have been 7lbs 11oz, 8lbs 11oz, and 8lbs 13oz. I think baby's birth weight is mostly determined by genetics, but also by the mother's nutrition during pregnancy and how long the pregnancy goes.
ReplyDeleteThat being said a mother's body will not grow a baby too big fit out, unless gestational diabetes or skeletal abnormalities of the pelvis are involved. Most people I've talked to who have big babies say those births were actually easier than smaller babies. In Jill's case with Israel he was in a bad position that necessitated a c section,not his size. Same with Gideon.
Well that's not completely accurate. In many cases, especially when small framed Asian women marry (north)European men, they are likely to deliver by C-section. That's simply because the small framed Asian women have too narrow pelvises to deliver a baby by a much larger and bigger framed north European man.
DeleteWe see this all the time here.
So a womans body can only handle a baby that’s consistent with her race?
Delete@C. Frydenlund..not only Asian woman have that problem. As women age their pelvis bones are not as elastic and older mothers tend to have larger babies.
DeleteAlso, size at birth does not also correlate to adult size. I know several slim adults of below average height who were 9 lbs and over at birth.
Anon 7:43 Yes it makes sense when you think about it. Look at the African vs European Americans. The skull is different and body type. African Americans are naturally bigger (muscles for guys) than European whites. That is one reason they are so good at basketball
DeleteAsian women are smaller framed
DeleteI love seeing this post its so cute and interesting. I use to think everyone's firstborn weighs less than their other babies at birth but according to this - that's not true. I wonder if its unusual to have a heavier firstborn? thoughts?
ReplyDeleteMy children:
ReplyDelete1st boy . 8lbs 5oz 20 in
2nd boy 8lbs 5oz. 21 in
3rd girl. 7 lbs. 6oz 20 in
4th girl 7lbs 10oz. 19 in
5th boy 8lbs. 3oz 20 in
6th boy 7lbs. 6oz. 19in
I have five children and am pregnant. I have one girl and four boys. The smallest was 3 lbs 13 oz, she was born at 32 wks. And then the biggest was 7 lbs 4 ozs. Most of mine were in the 6's even though my stomach was huge. I was 5 lbs when I was born. My sister has big babies so I'm thankful so far mine have been under 7.4 lbs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice list. Especially the color coded part... I was 2 months early so I was 3 lbs, 3 oz. Not sure length just that i fit in a hand.
ReplyDeleteI was 5.5 pounds and born 6 weeks early and could fit in a shoe box.
ReplyDeleteMy children were 7lbs 15oz, 7lbs 13oz, 8lbs 2oz and 8lbs 8oz. All four were around 21 1/2" long.
My daughter was almost a week late and still only 6 lb 15 oz. She was on the small side, but now is in 90% for height and weight!
ReplyDeleteMy son was only 5 pounds 12.5 oz. I think I was right at 8 pounds.
ReplyDeleteThose poor Duggar girls! Those are some big babies- especially for first babies! I've had 6, ranging from 7 lbs to 9 lbs 8 oz, and what a difference 2 lbs makes during delivery!!! But all babies are such a blessing from God and worth all the challenges and hard work of labor. 😀
ReplyDeletemy only one born alive was mirco preemie at 22 weeks 4 days, she was 1 lb 8 oz and 11.5" long. it was hard for me to see Josie on show when she was born cause was similar to my Zoey
ReplyDeletethat would be hard. I was born at 28 weeks, and weighed one pound but my mother was on drugs for quite a bit during the pregnancy and my older siblings all were healthy babies. I'm the only one who has special needs, Autism
Delete7lbs 2oz and 19 1/2 in long, was my son at birth.
ReplyDeleteI was 6# at birth and 21 inches. My daughter was 3# 2oz and 16.t inches long
ReplyDeleteFirst boy: 9lbs4oz 21.75”
ReplyDeleteTwins Girl: 7lbs1oz 20.5” Boy: 7lbs4oz 20”
I was 7lbs6oz 20.5” at birth :)
Those are big twins for sure, total of over 14 lbs of baby weight alone. Wow, you've got a strong body!
DeleteAwesome to know how much the grandbabies weighed when born. I don't have children yet, but I weighed, 6 lbs 6oz
ReplyDeleteMy son and daughter both weighted 7 lb 4 oz and both were 20.5 inches (they are two years apart)
ReplyDeleteMy 1st was 9lbs 1oz 21 inches 38 weeks
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd was 8lbs 11oz. 20.5 inches 38 weeks
My 3rd 8lbs 11 oz. 20 inches. 35 1/2 weeks
First was 6lb 9oz and 19.5 in (2days late)
ReplyDeleteSecond was 6lb 4.5oz and 18.5in(2weeks early)
I was 6 lb, 19" and hubby was 6:15 and 20". Of course women used to be put on diets. My daughter's only bio child was 7:3 and 21" (he's 6' now at just 14 years old). I know you can't go by the parents but I hoped. My four were 8:9 and 21", 8:10 and 20 3/4", 9:15 and 23" and finally 11:1 1/2 ounces and 23 and 1/2". Statistically you're more like a full blood sister when it comes to your labor. The baby sizes are determined by diet, health of the mother and sometimes by her age. Generally a high protein diet can produce a bigger baby. And some couples just have bigger babies. I'm tall for my family at 5'3" and very stocky like my father. Hubby is 6'1 1/2" and slender. Our genetics plus a high protein diet produced large babies. Ate the most junk and gained the most weight with the smallest.
ReplyDeleteI was 3 lb, 11 oz and my twin was 3 lb, 12 oz, 79 years ago. No NICU and just incubator and survive on your own or lots of prayers which my dad said about his miracle babies.
ReplyDeleteMy two children were both boys and were both two weeks early. First was 8 lbs 4 oz, and second was 8 lbs 14 ozs. And that was 40+ years ago so they were considered very big babys for the time.
ReplyDeleteCHILDREN ARE A BLESSING FROM LORD
ReplyDeleteI was born 5lbs and 19inches, my husband 5 or 6lbs and 19inches I think...we have 2 boys.
ReplyDeleteOur first was 7lbs 11oz 21inch
Our second was 8lbs 6oz 21inch
I was induced for both my kids, the oldest at 40 weeks and the second at 40 weeks 3 days.
my first was 11lbs 11oz 22 1/2 inches, my second was 10 lbs 10 ozs 21 1/2 inches 10 days early and my third was 11lbs 9 ozs 22 inches thirteen days early.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that Israel & Samuel were the exact same weight! And Mason weighed the same as them! My baby was 11 lbs. 4 oz and 22 " long.
ReplyDeleteBoth my children were born early. My eldest (a girl) was born at 37 weeks and weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. My son was born at 34 weeks and weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. We did not risk a third pregnancy after the preemie experience. Even though his weight was heavy for his age, he had preemie issues.
ReplyDeleteI weighed 8 lbs 4 oz don't know my length...
ReplyDelete1st boy- 7 lbs 10 oz 20.25 in
Identical twin boys- A: 6 lbs 15 oz 19.5 in B: 6 lbs 4 oz 19.25 in
3rd boy- 7 lbs 8 oz 19.5 in
Last baby girl- 6 lbs 12 oz 19.5 in
My son was 2lbs 12oz and 14 1/2 inches long that’s a 9 week preemie. My self being a 6 week preemie was 7lbs 8oz and also 14 1/2 inches long. Son born 2007 me in 1976. Times definitely have changed.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell they use midwives. I think there are fewer early inductions.
ReplyDeleteI don't have children yet. But I know how much me and my brother weighed and measured in length at birth. He was 6 lbs 13 oz and 20.86 inches long, while I was 7 lbs 4 oz and 20.07 inches long. We were both born after our due date. He was one day late,I four days late.
ReplyDeleteMy 7th was 10 pounds, 11 ounces!!!
ReplyDeleteI was about 10lbs 3oz. Don't know how long I was.
ReplyDeleteMy 1st, Elisabeth, 6 lbs. 13 oz., 21 in.

ReplyDeleteDear Duggars, I would also love to see a list of all the Duggar weights at birth. So far the grand children have healthy birth weights. Thanks for posting them. I was 1 lb 10 oz at 26 weeks and I was about 12 in. long. My dad was born 7 weeks early and weighed 4 lbs. My mom was 5 lb 6 oz. My brother was at 35 weeks and was 5 lb 3 oz. That is my families very basic story. Natasha B
ReplyDeleteMy husband was 6 lb 11 oz- the same weight as my oldest and youngest. I was 8 lb. My biggest baby was 10 lb 2 oz. Half of the other babies were over 9 lbs. I have 13 kids.
ReplyDeleteWow! They do have some big babies. None of them seemed to gain a lot of weight with each pregnancy either. Big babies just run in their family. It's great to see them all healthy. Can't wait to see what Jinger's little girl weighs. Every child is special. No matter how many you have...
ReplyDeleteGirl 7 lb 12 oz (41 weeks)
ReplyDeleteBoy 9 lb 12 oz (41 weeks)
Boy 7 lb 11 oz (39 weeks)
My 1st was a boy 9.8lbs 22"
ReplyDelete2nd a girl 10lbs 24"
3rd a girl 9lbs 8.5oz 23"
I was born weighing 6.15lbs
My son was 8lbs 6oz (25.5 inches long) he was the longest baby ever born at the maternity unit at the time & was 9 days early. My daughter was 9lbs 5oz (20.5 inches long) & 5 days late. They both grew into tall adults though my son is on the very tall side at 6 foot 6 & a half inches. They were both natural deliveries & are the joy of my life.
ReplyDelete3.6kg which is 7.9lb
ReplyDeleteI am even more lucky that God delivered scalpels for a cesa lol
And 7.9 lbs equals 7 lbs 14.4 oz
DeleteEllie maybe you can ask the Diggers to share the different hobbies that they do or crafts they like to do. I know when my children were toddlers which meant I was home more because of nap times etc., I did crafts which my friends also did and we would sell them at the different Church craft shows. Sometimes we would bake cookies and cakes to sell at Church sales too. I wonder if they do things like that which would be fun to see the ideas they came up with for the different craft shows, bake sales.
ReplyDeleteThe Duggar ladies seem to all have big babies, but all healthy. I wonder the weighs of Michelle Duggar's babies. That would be interesting to see to compare with her daughters. Great family!
ReplyDeleteJune 18, 2018 at 9:25 PM

ReplyDeleteMy children were 6/6, 6/8, 6/10. And all were 21 inches.
ReplyDeleteI was 3.4 pounds and 14 inched and my husband wsd 7.1 pounds and 21 inches. I must vonfess I am a twin. My twin was 4.3 and 16 inches. We were 4p week babies.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Thanks for putting this all together 😍 my babies were 7 lb 14 oz, 7 lb 15 oz, 8 lb 4 oz, 8 lb, 9 lb 3 oz, and 9 lb.
ReplyDeleteWith some, it makes me wonder if they are getting tested for GD (maybe they are), but that does tend toward larger babies if unchecked.
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt they are getting tested for anything.
DeleteMine were:
ReplyDelete7 lbs 6 oz
7 lbs 5 oz
7 lbs 5 oz again
7 lbs 10 oz
7 lbs 3 oz
And I if remember correctly 19 in.
It would be interesting to have all the weights for the duggar kids, duggar inlaws and the grandkids all in order.
ReplyDeleteInvasion of privacy
DeleteI was 20 inches long and and weighed 5 lbs 10 oz.
ReplyDeleteMy son is born 2 weeks before the due date, 6lb 10oz 19inches. I was as a baby about the same size
ReplyDeleteWow, do these woman get prenatal care or do they just go to the hospital to give birth. Big babies may look cute but it’s certainly not healthy for both baby and mom.
ReplyDeleteFast food is the reason for big babies.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, fast food/junk food is a reason, not the reason.
DeleteHow would you know if they ate fast food?
Deleteummm .... there are various reasons for big babies .... genetics being just one of them .... as a former neo-natal nurse it's pathetic to see people trying to insult others and trying to shame mothers for the size of their babies
DeleteIGNORANT comment.
DeleteIt’s not ignorant it’s a scientifically proven fact.
DeleteDisappointed in the Duggar Attitude, I talk to obgyns regularly: they all say that the mothers diet contributes significantly to the newborns weight,and eating unhealthy ie ..fast food cause gestational diabetes, which is the leading cause of big babies regardless of genetic history.
DeleteThey post fast food pics all the time.
DeleteI posted before about a woman I know who had a baby as big as Gideon, but who certainly was NOT gorging on fast food during pregnancy, in fact people were worried she wasn't eating enough!
DeleteIs diet ONE reason some women have big babies, sure, but it's not the ONLY reason as some seem to think here. People can also get gestational diabetes, or even diabetes when NOT pregnant, without eating fast food every day.
My son was 5lb 1oz at birth. I want to say he was about 19-20in long. I can't remember at the moment. I needed to have a C-Section with him due to his heart rate dropping but he is as healthy as a horse and active as ever now:)
ReplyDeleteMy babies were:

8 lb. 3 oz. 7 days early- boy
7 lb. 1 oz. 3 weeks early- girl
They were between 19 1/2 in. and 22 1/2 in.
13 children? Wow. Are you from a fundamentalist group or an old order Amish/Mennonite group? They tend to have large families like that.
DeleteActually large families are not limited to just "fundamentalist" or old order Amish/Mennonite groups. There are large families who are Catholics,Mormons,Methodists, etc
DeleteAnon here with the 13 children. We are Catholic.
Deleteellie, you are so awesome! what a great chart! and color coded!! (i color code everything)
ReplyDeletemine were 2 lbs 10 3/4 oz & 15 1/4" (25 weeks); 7 lbs 2 oz & 19" (34 weeks); 7 lbs 10 1/2 oz & 20" (36 weeks); 8 lbs 4 oz & 19 1/2" (36 weeks) funny thing was, i was also born when mom was 34 weeks & i we only 4 lbs 4 oz
I have two boys who both weighed 9 lbs. 10 oz. And I ended up having 2 c-sections because they so big, I couldn't deliver them naturally. Then I had a baby girl and she was a preemie weighing 2 pounds.

Two were enough for me!
DeleteIf you're not done yet, how many more children are you planning? Are you going for a Duggar/Bates sized family? Just curious.
Delete1st: son, 9lbs 1oz, 21 inches
ReplyDelete2nd: son, 8lbs 11oz, 20.5 inches
3rd: son, 9lbs 2.25oz, 20.5 inches
4th: daughter, 11lbs 0oz, 21.25 inches
5th: son, 10lbs 6.7oz, 21.75 inches
I was 8lbs 6.75oz, 19.5 inches long
My husband 6lbs 7oz, 19.5 inches long
My dad 11lbs 2oz, 24 inches long and countless others of my dad side had big babies. So, it was only natural I'd have big babies too.
ReplyDelete"I love seeing this post its so cute and interesting. I use to think everyone's firstborn weighs less than their other babies at birth but according to this - that's not true. I wonder if its unusual to have a heavier firstborn? thoughts"
I don't think it's unusual, my first was my biggest and each one after that was smaller. First 8 lbs 8 oz, Second 8 lbs even, Third 7 lbs 9 oz.
I was 7 lb 14 oz. My oldest daughter was 8 lb 12 oz and 15 days late. My youngest daughter was 7 lbs 12 oz and right on time.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Would it be possible 2 do this for the Bates grandchildren also?
ReplyDeleteI hope Jinger's baby won't be the biggest. She was so small and skinny before pregnancy, and now she already matured in a woman. Hopefully it won't be a 10-pounder... And hopefully it will be a quick natural birth, just like Kendra's.
ReplyDeleteAlready 11 grandkids, 12th is arriving within days... Who is next?I'm surprised Jessa is not pregnant yet, I thought she would have another baby already. Jill is probably waiting after her c-section, and I don't think Derick has a job. Anna has been spacing her kids about 2 years apart. I think maybe Joy will get pregnant very soon? Though they probably advised her not to have a baby for about 2 years after her c-section.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Lauren after they get married with Josiah, then obviously Abbie. Potentially, Duggars can have 6 grandkids within a year. And I'm not counting Kendra.
Three boys
ReplyDelete6 lbs 7 oz C-section
7 lbs 5 oz VBAC
6 lbs 10 oz VBAC no pain meds at all 😱
Unfortunately, I don't recall how long each of them measured... 😥
