8. 9 pound 12 ounce boy 22 1/2" head - through the chute!

:D

Without an epidural.

[Shine]

10. 22 1/2 inch head?! You must've meant length of the body

otherwise, that's positively freakish. :D

shinegirl was 9 lbs 6oz, with about a 13 inch head.

Natural birth, no pain meds. Ya don't forget THAT in a hurry! :eyes:

[KitchenWitch]

12. OOOPS meant 14.5 inch head and 22 1/2 inches long

:blush:

[Shine]

13. I figured that was a simple mistake. Still, though: OUCH

I can relate: Can YOU say "episiotomy"?? :D

[KitchenWitch]

14. yes, a very slanty episiotomy!

:D

[Shine]

16. TMI....

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

17. Do the words sitz bath mean a thing to you?

:rofl:

[Shine]

18. uh...yes

:D

I remember how monumental my first post-birth dump was, too. LOL! :rofl: I was so relieved my entire insides didn't fall out into the toilet.

talk about TMI....:eyes: ok, i'll stop now.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Oh man!

The memories just do not go away.

The almost 10 pounder was my son. My daughter was only 7 pounds 14 ounces. My labor with her was FAR worse (was not progressing so we did the pitocin, and I ended up having an epidural).

[Shine]

24. you and I have a lot in common, it always amazes me

except it was a bit backwards from your experience b/c my first born son was the worst: 24+hr labor, 17 hrs on pitocin followed by an epidural. Thank god for meds in that case! He was 8lbs 14 oz, thank you very much.

I'm soooo done. :D

[BlueIris]

22. And just when I was thinking (seriously) about repealing my "no kids" decision...

thanks, ladies.

[Shine]

23. LOL!

my work here is done. ;)

seriously, having kids has been the greatest blessing of my life, BlueIris. They are my highest spiritual teachers, to be sure. :D

[fortyfeetunder]

26. I'd call it self-made episiotomy

I told my kid every time I saw his head it reminded me of giving birth....I forget how big his head was (and it was a big'un, he was close to 9 lb.).. along with a 3rd degree tear...

That is why the kid will be the only bio-child....

[Robeson]

15. Yeah, but you're from the upper Mid-West...

...you guys are all twice as big up there. I'm 6 ft. tall, and feel like a munchkin when I visit Minnesota...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear Donk Yore!

I had a 10 pound baby too....35 years ago...

NOT caesarian!

That was the hardest I EVER pushed ...

And there was payback...

She just delivered her second son...3 months ago...

He weighed 10 pounds too!

Congrats to your niece and her newborn!

:toast:

[Shine]

11. That's a whole lotta baby!!

Congrats to all! :toast:

[BlueIris]

19. Wow, a baby born on the day of an eclipse/new moon.

Tell your niece to be careful with that kid (very special).

[MonkeyFunk]

20. Congratulations!

[astonamous]

25. My 10 lb. 13 oz. baby boy just turned 21 years old...

No drugs and only 1 1/2 hours of labor which was about 89 minutes too long.

Congratulations to your neice!

[fortyfeetunder]

27. Congrats

Hope the mom and babe are well!

[asdjrocky]

28. Most of that weight is baby fat.

[Manifestor_of_Light]
