5. A 9 lb baby at 32 weeks? DAMN!

That is a HUGE baby. That baby would end up being 11.5lbs at term and 13 lbs on its due date.

As someone who gave birth to a 9lbs11oz baby, I don't know how she couldn't know. I bet she was in a lot of pain. I could hardly walk with my big baby (my 3 others hovered around 7lbs). I don't know how they could've missed it with the pregnancy tests though. Crazy. Probably a combination of tests actually not being done or a mixed up file.

Although, I'll be honest, I've always secretly hoped this would happen to me. I suspected I was pregnant mere days after I conceived and had positive tests by 9-14 days and then spent every waking moment of my pregnancy worrying. It was always a really long 9 months.
