A 12lb.3oz. baby boy......ouch!

Well even as a male that weight makes my eyes water and legs tend to clamp together!! It is truely amazing what the human body is capable of!

Of the thirty-eight billion reasons I've counted (so far) NOT to have children, this ranks right up there in the No. 1 spot. :P Can you say, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUCHHHHH! WHERE'S THE FREAKIN' EPIDURAL!!!??" boys and girls? I knew you could. ;) If I gave birth to a child that big, it had better already have a medical license or law degree and immediately start to provide for me in the manner to which I've become accustomed. ;)

Twelve pound, 3 ounce? OUCH. My first was 9 lb, 3oz, and I had an episiomity (sp) with her, some gas, and a shot of pethidine. The second was 8 lb 9 oz, and I had gas with her. The last (notice LAST) was 7 lb 14 oz, and I had a little bit of gas - not much. Hubby would say something mean & nasty about someone who can have that big a baby with no painkillers, but we must remember, it is designed to stretch to allow things out.

Wow that certainly is a big bambino! My daughter was 5lb 12 and my boys were about 7 1/2lb and they had to be delivered by ceaseer so I could not imagine having a baby that big. He would look like mine did at three months of age.

My first one was 10 pounds 14 ounces, he was huge. I couldn't imagine a twelve pounder. There are alot of things that you wouldn't think about when you have a big baby, like they don't really fit in newborn sizes of anything, they don't fit in newborn diapers, (mine wore a size one right out of the womb), they grow out of things much quicker, swings, carseats, carriers. It can be quite frustrating. We bought a travel swing for my oldest, by the time he could support his head and sit up in it correctly, he weighed too much for it. *sigh* He outgrew his carseat very quickly as well. My second one we took early, as we were trying to avoid a huge baby, and I was very uncomfortable. He came out at 9 pounds even.

I've been told if you're diabetic sometimes the baby is a big baby. I knew a lady that told me she was 10 pounds when she was born and both her and the mom was diabetic. I'm sure that doesn't always happen though. I just can't imagine. My daughter was 7lbs 1 1/2oz. and that was big enough. I agree with you caramello...ouch!...

Wow, I am surprised she could have a baby that big naturally, especially without any complications!! Mine were bad enough at 7 lbs.

woah caramello thats the biggest baby to be born i have ever heard. ouch that woman must of been in real pain aaahhh!!

My biggest baby was 8lb6oz and I tore giving birth to her so I can't imagine what it would be like with a baby over 12lbs. Well done to your friend, she did really well, they will both be much healthier because she choose to do it without painkillers.

Lol. My 4'9 grammy had a 14 lb son and a 12 lb son, smallest of her 8 was 10 lbs lol. I had a 10 lber myself, and the lady in the room next to me the night i had my son, her son was 11.8. My baby wasnt natural, they had to use vaccume extraction cus of his position. But my grammies were. A womans body is capable of some amazing things huh :) Im pregnant again, and im hoping for an 8 lb baby, normal type size, but based on family history... this one will probably be over 11 lbs lol.

thats big compared to my 7lb babies. I would cry. but congrats on the baby.
