Do any of you know how much you weighed or how long you were when you were born?
OMG...You have the exact same birthday as my nephew...I think he was born around 3 in the afternoon that same day in 1985


I was just over 7lbs and 20" long...

I was 5 lbs even (just enough to stay out of the incubator) and about 20 inches long - I was a month early when born. At one year old I was almost 16 lbs

I was born through a C-section on March 5, 1981, and I weighed 8 lbs. 10 oz. (not sure of my length), and I think I was born at about 5:30 PM. I was born with a full head of black hair. I was named after JR's secretary from the TV show, "Dallas". My mom and grandmother were both big fans of that show and "Dynasty".

My daughter was born via emergency C-section at 5:22 AM on October 4, 2002, and she weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. and was 22 inches long. She was named the Latin word "Victoria", meaning "victorious". Her middle name is after Queen Elizabeth I. A strong name for a strong little girl.

I was born two months premature at 4:20 am, weighing 2 pounds. I was perfectly healthy, though, yet had to stay in the neonatal unit at the hospital for a month until I reached 5 pounds, which was the stipulation for being released.

I was born 8:03 am July 26, 1957!!!!! I was 4# 10 oz and born 8 minutes before my sister who weighed 5# 10oz. Can't remember length however. We were about 3 weeks early and back in "those days" no ultra sound so mom and dad did not know they were having twins until mom was going into delivery room!!!! The name they picked out was given to my sister-no idea why!!! So they had to come up with another name for me!!
I think I was in the hospital for a week after birth due to weight??

I know my mum was at a party so she went into labour late at night and had me early morning, not sure what time.

I was a little under 8lbs and no idea how long. I will have to ask her
