I would watch it but OH will complain if I watch another birth/pregnancy related programme LOL, might SKY+ it though!!!
I "know" another lady on another forum that had a 12lb baby but would be interesting to see some bigger babies

I am going to sky+ it as OH is watching the euros and for once my baby programmes are being put to the back! Will watch it tomorrow. Think it will be a fasinating watch. Two of my friends have had big babies one weighed 9lb 15oz and the other who was 12 days late weighed in at a HUUGGEE 11lb 3.5 oz and somehow she gave birth to that one naturally!!

Makes me think we have work to do with supporting obese women to make healthy lifestyle choices in pregnancy and after.

It also made me think about the future of maternity services tho, more sections, more maternal complications and more babies in SCBU.

Blimey!! Is it abuse allowing a one year old to eat a whole bag of chips and to the mum who doesn't want her three year old to be fat when he starts nursery - changing his diet NOW would be a start!

I do not mean to change harshly but I am annoyed by how they cannot make the connection of why their children are so obese with what they are feeding them AND please, who gives a 14 week old baby milk and JUICE????


Being economically challenged does not equal stupid !! This program really just highlights for me the complete ignorance of people.

2 of mine were over 9lbs too - but my husband was over 10lbs and a first baby!! Ouch!
Family myth says my grandfather was 13lbs but not sure if it's true or not.
Treble ouch, and his mother had 2 more kids after that!!!
