I'm just wondering the ideal weight for a
baby from months 1-12. I can't seem to
find a user friendly website with a simple
chart. Can someone help me out??

Are you worried about your baby is under
or over weight? I was worried that my 2
month old ws over weight. He weighs 14
pounds and 6 onces, and the doc said that
ws great!!! He is so chubby but a
healthy beautful baby!!! How old is
yours?

Got one on the way. I am just trying to
find out as much info as I can before the
little one arrives. Thanks for your
reply, by the way. Can you tell me what
month you started to show? I am just a
few weeks along (still waiting my first
visit to the dr) but I swear my pants
already fit tight. Maybe its because i'm
not too thin, about a size 10/12. I
don't know. Any advice you have to offer
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
again.

Um...I started to show pretty early. I
noticed a change in the way my clothes fit
in the first couple of weeks also. I
guess it was about the 3rd mnth when
others started to notice. I was a size 7
to 9 before I got pregnant and now (2
month post partum) i'm a size 12. When
is your first appointment?

I started to show when I was about 5
months! But im a bigger girl also and
didn't put on weight until 6 or 7 months
then I put it on quick. But 2 months
after I had my baby ive already lost
almost 50 lbs and am below my pre
pregnancy weight. Reccomendation: if you
want to get rid of the excess fluid
fast...Drink apple juice...It helped me
alot. I dropped 30 lbs of fluid w/ in a
couple of weeks. By the way, unless your
baby is going to be really big i'd
reccomend buying at least a couple premmie
outfits. My baby weighed 7lbs 6 ozs and
was 20 inches long and she was too small
for newborn clothes even the onesies were
too big. She grew out of the premmie
stuff in about 3 weeks...But still it was
better than her clothes falling off. They
typically lose weight after they are born
but start gaining it back and gain about
an ounce a day. My baby is 9 weeks old
now and is about 11lbs 6 ozs.

Good tip on the buying preemie clothes!!
My son was 7lbs 10oz 20 inches long and
all the newborn clothes were to big for
him also. I don't know why all the
newborn clothes are made so big!! My son
is 3months now and weighs 16lbs 23inches
long!! So, yep...They grow sooo fast!!!

I don't really have anything to say about
weight or anything like that. My
daughter is almost 4 years old, I can
barely remember what she weighed at birth
(just joking I remember that much). I
just wanted to right, and say, I love
hearing new mommies or mommies to be talk.
I remember when I was pregnant, and I
had no idea aboutt this site, I wanted to
talk about my pregnancy and my new born
all the time, and nobody really wanted to
hear about it or they got tired of hearing
about her. I love hearing those stories,
they bring back good fuzzie memories.

Yes I do plan on having more. I always
wanted for but my fiance already has 3 so
it looks like i'll be having 5. He's
over seas right now and will be back in
march, which is when we'll be trying to
have a child.

I'm sorry to hear that he is over seas!!
That must be hard on you!! I can't wait
until I can plan to get pregnant (in about
four years). Let us know when you get
preggy. 5 kids aren't bad...Some have
like 20!! Lol!!
