I just saw a news bit about a 6 kg newborn, (omg Gemma is just over 6kg at nearly 5 months) and went online to see if there was anything on the interweb about it. I didn't find that story, but I did find one about a 7kg newborn, fortunately born via caesarian, in a Spanish hospital.
Photo EFE.
Apparently her firstborn was 5kg newborn, so they expected a big baby. That is one hell of a newborn.

Strewth!
Wow. Imagine even carrying that inside you. You wouldn't move for the last few months.
Oliver was 4.7kgs so if this is a common trend I really am never having a second one.
I have a feeling every bub is a different case. DV, you could still have a tiny slip of a thing next time round!
having said that, my dad's mum had 5 gi-normous bubbas. they were all more than 11 pound (approx 5kg). and she was a wee Scots woman. god knows how she did it.
and one of my aunts married into mum's side of the family had 4 bubbas of the same sort of weight. but we think she may well have had gestational diabetes for at least a couple.
I'm not sure when they started to work out the phenomena that is gestational diabetes. probably not in the early 70's, though.
