When I was born, I weighed 9lbs 15oz! I'm kind of embarassed about this, and sometimes my mom will bring it up in conversation! She'll even talk about how they had to recut the incision because I was too big! I get really shy, and I haven't really talked to her about it. Should I bring it up? :(

Yes, by all means talk to her about it. You must be at that age where you find this to be a little to much information. Just tell her like you told us that it is embarrassing you and to please not mention it in front of others. I'm sure she will understand.

The size of a baby you were was entirely your mothers doing. I have three children of my own and my children have ranged in size from 6 pounds to 8 pounds, it all was on me. A baby is an average of the mother & father's birth weight. Ask you mom how much she & your dad weighed when they were born, it may shed some light on the subject. AND you should not feel bad about your birth weight, it sounds like you were born a very health baby and your mom should be proud of that. : ) If it really bothers you, maybe in private mention to your mom that she makes you feel self conscious when she announces that type of information. She may not even think about it that way.

Your mom will always be a mom and she will never stop telling that story. I know it may be embarassing to you but that's what moms do. Just be glad she didn't have to have a c-section with you! I still tell stories about my sons birth and I know he's embarassed and my mom tells stories about me being a bad kid. You will probably do the same thing when you have a baby. It's a vicious cycle kid. Be happy you are alive and well enough to complian, some kids are born unhealthy and can't complain even if they wanted to.

Sure, let her know how you feel but also understand that child birth is a bond ALL mothers share and they always discuss the horrible details amongst themselves. It's a huge scary event that is a milestone in their lives and they NEVER stop talking about it. So you may ask her to lay off a bit but try not to let it get you down. After all it's not like you had ANY control over your size at birth.

You really shouldn't be embarrassed about something like this because you had no say in it nor did you do anything to make it happen. If you want to talk to your Mom about it , by all means bring up the subject to her. I believe she will tell you the same thing I have said.

y does this embarrass you? no one really cares how big or small you were as a baby except of course you momma and that just because we earn bragging rites when we give birth your mom sounds like she is just proud of you and likes to talk about one of the most important times in her life giving birth to you... thats a big size baby but my daughter was 8 lbs 12 oz and almost 22 inches long she wouldnt fit in half her newborn clothes but she isnt embarassed by it... you need to talk to your mom but not about her talking about it you need to find out why you have such a problem with it .....

Obviously this is bothering you. Perhaps you should say something. You or your Mom couldn't help what weight you were at birth. Perhaps your Mom either is diabetic or had gestational diabetes. Diabetics usually have larger babies.
Resolve it or it will continue to eat at you and could drive a wedge between you and your Mom and that would be really sad.
Good luck.

whats the big deal, just think if you were born just 3 or 4 pounds less you would have been a sickly baby

You shouldn't be embarrassed. There have been a lot bigger birthweights. If anyone should be embarrassed it's your Mom. If she were following a proper diet and not overeating while pregnant you would've likely been smaller.

Its not a big deal at all. You shouldn't be embarassed. It's not like you were chosing what you were eating/how much you were growing in there!!
