That's actually quite funny thinking that your baby could weigh more than 12 lbs if this were true. Some women carry until 42 weeks. My sister in law carried until 41 weeks and had a 8 lb 13 oz baby girl

Usually they gain a half pound a week from 35 weeks to delivery. Definitely not a pound a day. :)

That's not true lol. I believe you usually gain about a pound a week and baby gets about half of it the last several weeks of pregnancy
