Joseph (5 and half) was 10lb exactly, Sadie now 18 months was 10lb 4oz but both born by CS. Naturally? OOOOOWWWWWW!!

Both of them are above average size for their age. Sadie is nearly as tall as Ben (heart baby aged 5) and certainly more "dense" for want of a better word........

I hope he's all right! The babies in special care units are nearly all very small or very large! I also hope mum's ok - what a hero going through a delivery like that with no pain relief. Going through any delivery without pain relief deserves a medal!

GS1 was 10lbs 3oz but ended up being an emergency c-section. His mum took bag fulls of unworn clothes down to the maternity unit! GS2 was delivered early and weighed in at 9lbs 10oz - but both boys are now slightly less than average height and weight for their ages.
