My mom was gestational when she was pregnant with me & I came out naturally at 10lbs 12oz & 22 inches long. All her sugars went to me making me so big. She did say I was the most quiet baby & slept through the night right away. Doc said I was hibernating on the extra fat, but did drop down to 8lbs a weeks or so later to normal out.
