1. aren't babies with downs syndrome smaller ?

[lame54]

2. I don't know - good question

[Tulum_Moon]

10. Yes they are

And he was born premature. Hers or not, she should not have been back at work.

3. this baby was 6lbs. 2 oz.

normal weight. here is the telling sign back to work in 3 days. ask any woman- no way. They can barely get to the bathroom

[Breeze54]

5. That's not normal weight ... that's small... avg weight at birth is at least 7 lbs!

birth weight - n

The measured heaviness of a baby when born, the average of which is about 3500 g, or 7.5 lb.

A baby weighing less than 5 lb is considered premature or underdeveloped.

14. My first child was 5.11 and I have to post a picture of me before I delivered

I'll scan it and post it shortly.

9. That is not true for every one...

it really isn't. I'm sure many people here could tell you this.

I had a friend who was home less than 24 hours after giving birth. She greeted me at the door and was up and around like it was nothing. Her mom had 12 kids apparently without difficulty...so maybe heredity plays into it.

17. There is a big difference between that and running a state

[Phentex]

22. I thought we were talking about

what 7 months pg looks like

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Then why did you say this:

"I had a friend who was home less than 24 hours after giving birth. She greeted me at the door and was up and around like it was nothing."

[Phentex]

30. That was in reference to the idea

that they can "barely get up and go to the bathroom."

27. Not true of all women

I was over term with my son and if I had on a top that was even a little loose you could barely tell and he was 8 1/2 pounds two weeks overdue.
As far as activity level after birth my good friend works with Amish women and she said that most of them are back up taking care of the house and kids within a few hours. It depends on your activity level. I was very active while I was pregnant and maybe had 5 pounds of baby weight to loose. My son was healthy and happy. Every woman and every pregnancy is unique.
I think that there are probably other issues with her that we can take on without perpetuating this rumor.

33. a tad small and also a month early. makes a big difference in weight

seems to me should have been normal 7 months. not to mention 5th child would show early and more

[tnlefty]

6. My first was premature and he was much heavier and in

better condition that what we were told to expect. He weighed 4 lbs. 13 oz., born during the 33rd week, and it was obvious that I was pregnant with him. :shrug:

12. This family is full of medical miracles

Yesterday there was a story going around the Bristol couldn't have been the moth because she is STILL pregnant and recently had a shotgun wedding with her boyfriend.

That is very interesting when you consider it was the January picture of her where she already seemed to be showing that started all of this controversy. She must have some elephant genes in her blood with a gestation period like that.

A very remarkable family indeed.

34. i was thinking that last night too. huge wtf. why i didnt put stock in any of those posts. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. That doesn't mean she would be smaller

I was lots bigger with one kid than the other yet he was smaller at birth. I was just carrying more water, according to my doctor.

[Breeze54]

4. I didn't show until I was almost 8 months pregnant

with my youngest. :shrug:

I didn't gain as much weight as the first two and he only weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz at birth.

[krabigirl]

18. Wow. That's pretty incedible. I haven't gained as much either, but it's all belly.

[Breeze54]

19. I didn't even wear maternity clothes but I popped out

at the end of 7 months and then went to maternity shirts and pants. :P
I was back in my skinny jeans less than two weeks after my third was born,
thank the jeans goddess! I gained a lot of weight with my first two though
and it took a while to lose it.

7. Every body is different...

women carry in different ways. I carried differently from kid to kid!

[madrchsod]

8. i can`t figure out why she never told anyone

no one she worked with noticed?

[Tulum_Moon]

11. She knew her baby had downs

I wonder what the survival rate is. Maybe she did tell her children, we dint know that. We want woman to be able to have the privacy to make their own decisions during these times. Some of these just don't make it full term. I don't know what my family, let alone the whole state would think knowing such a personal thing, that I was trying to take a downs baby to term.

16. Well, I'm 7 months along with my 2nd. There's no way to hide it.

I'm all belly. I guess from the back you might not be able to tell, except for the change in my posture and my waddling as I walk. :)

[Breeze54]

20. Congratulations!!!

:D

21. Would a DNA test resolve this?

28. geeze - I missed it

Damn

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. If it's any consolation, it wasn't a real reply to your post

just a completely randomly placed reply that the poster thought they were being 'censored' on DU, due to events in a completely different thread. That particular poster can't make any posts at all to be 'censored' any more.

24. Size of baby doubles in last month. At seven months and premature

the baby should weigh no more than 3 pounds, five ounces. Not possible that it weighed over six pounds and was premature. Somebody lied about a timeline. This lady is not the mother.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

31. I hate to break up the speculation...

...but she has some weight on her here. I want to believe this as much as anyone, but the proof just isn't there.

Sorry.

32. What is the point of this?
