Small Mum/small Baby
Posted: 09-03-05 10:51am

Hi,

is it true that if you are small, you will most likely have a small baby?

I'm 5'1" ish and very petite/slim and worried about my baby being a large one hehe, only because his father is not a small man. I keep telling myself I can't carry a large baby if my body can't carry it.... So.. Anyone know?


Thank you

I am not sure. What I know is that our baby is a combination of genes of the mother and the father. And the stronger gene will be the prominent feature of the baby. I am just 5'3" but my husband is tall and big. At 6 months, my dr said that the baby is quite big and I might end up with a 8-9 lbs baby. Nyakkks!

Well I have a friend who's small (5'3" ish) and her hubby is small too. And they had a 4 lbs 2 oz baby. But then again, the baby was 6 weeks early... So who knows... Good luck :)
