Baby Stats Game ~ Wanna Play?

This is a little game that I used to play on a forum that I had with a good friend. I didn't think I had the energy to post this, but she was so sweet to send me the stats. :-)



It is real simple ~ just guess labor and baby stats to play!






 ~ 38 Weeks 5 days ~



A little history to help:

  • I will be 39 weeks in 2 days and generally go a week early.

  • My 2nd was my biggest baby at 7 pounds 5 ounces at 38 weeks (induced).  

  • My first and smallest baby was 6 pounds 10 1/2 ounces, 19 1/2 inches long, was born at 9:57 a.m., and I had to be given pitocin to induce labor after my water broke. 

  • My last baby was 6 pounds 14 ounces, 20 3/4 inches, was born at 11:54 p.m., was my first homebirth, my water broke 23 hours before I went into labor and labor lasted 2 hours 54 minutes. 

  • My midwife thinks this will be my biggest baby. 

  • I have 4 boys and 1 girl.



Time is going by real slow. I have very little energy (mental or physical), cannot walk without pain, am tired but not sleeping well, emotional. . . and well, 9 months pregnant!



So, to help me pass the time until baby arrives, please take a guess!

39 weeks

41+ weeks



2. Gender:

6. Length of active labor:

  8. For an unplanned photo, you look wonderful! I know you're ready to be done though--so here's my guesses.

    1. 39 weeks
    2. Boy (though I want to be wrong on this one because I know how wonderful it is for my girls to have each other and it would be nice for Ellie to have a sister)
    3. Evening
    4. I'm thinking the upper end of the 7 pound range--maybe even the low end of the 8 pound range.
    5. 20+ inches
    6. 2-3 hours
