    Yes, anything is possible especially if the mother is diabetic.

    No it is not, I am a newborn nursery nurse and if your baby is born at 28-30 weeks gestation it is extremely unlikely that the baby could ever be that big. Simply explained, the infant puts on the majority of its weight in the last few weeks of pregnancy and when the baby comes before that it is much smaller than it would be if full term was reached. Sometimes women say that to trick the father or others into believing that the baby is theirs when it is not.

    yes may be 1 out of 1000 to have a baby to be born at 7months weighing 6lbs 10oz.... if the pregnant woman was cared well and if she get more nutritious food in the period of pregnancy..........

    Possible but highly unusual ,it is in the last two months that a foetus gains most weight so at 7months it would only just be reaching that time . If the mother is diabetic babies tend to be heavier.A better judge of whether it is premature or not is what stage of development it has reached.

    Are you drawn to the youngster's well being, or disputing the date of theory? I weighed 6lb 8 oz..while i grow to be born at complete time era. i've got confidence the healthful variety is 6-9lb, so the infant could be merely large. If the being pregnant had long previous to complete-time era, there's a stable threat the infant could have been born weighing approximately 10lb, so if i grow to be the mummy, i might evaluate that untimely beginning something of a blessing!

    I don't see why not. My son was born at 8 months weighing 7lbs 13oz, so he wouldn't have been far off that weight at 7 months.

    Absolutely. Normal weight at 9 months is about 8lbs 8oz.

    Of course. Itt depends upon the genetics of the parentage.

    yes, would assume baby would be smaller but if parents are not small or mum has diabetes then this would be a possible weight.
