Answer 1

Don't know the official figure, I reckon about 8lbs.

Answer 2

I am watching that program and it does make you scared. they are very very big babies. I thought I had a big baby at 9lbs 8oz (i got told I just had a very healthy pregnancy, I am only small) So my 1st was 8lbs 2oz and my 2nd 9lbs 8oz. Don't worry you will be fine. x
