6'4 but she was a month early so if she had been born full term she would have been massive.

I think it's only interesting to know the weight if you know which week they were born.

My boys were born at 35 weeks and one weighed 6.7, the other 5.15.

Dd1- 6 lb. 11 oz.
dd2- 7 lb. 11 oz.
ds- 8 lb. 14 oz.

My doctor said he's scared to deliver my next baby because it will probably be a 10 pounder.

All of mine were between 6 lb 14 ounces and 7 lb 4 ounces. Except my second, who was recorded at 7 14 but is suspected to have been smaller, with the scale misread.

My second was 9 pounds, 12 ounces.

But my first...was 10 pounds, 10.5 ounces. I gained less than twenty pounds (though I was eating like a horse) and had no idea he would be big at all.

No. After three days of labor (but only two of really active labor, breathing through contractions, etc), I finally delivered my first by c-section. Hoped that the large weight was a fluke, and tried for a vbac with my second. The first was two weeks overdue, but I went into labor just a couple of days after my due date with my second, which is why he didn't weigh as much as his brother. The attempted vbac was much faster, and about six hours after labor started, I was at ten cm. Never got to pushing - the baby didn't drop. My doula did all of these things to try to "open me up" - pushing on certain bones while I squatted, leaned different ways, etc - nada. After two hours at 10 cm, even the doula (very pro-natural) admitted defeat and said it made sense to have the c-section. (They were nervous that being at 10 cm for so long could cause issues with my previous scar.)

A long answer to a simple question. And no, no idea where the big babies came from. No GD, no thyroid issues, and no big babies that we know of in either of our families. And we're both average Jewish height.
