I figured premature from the weight, but I've never heard of that kind of disparity between length & weight. Most people are surprised that I was so long & only 7 pounds, but your case sounds much more extreme.

I was 6lbs. 8 oz. and 20 in. long.

My Sara was born 11 weeks early and weighed 2lbs. 12oz. and was 15 3/4 in. long. I find it odd that Taken was 20 in. long, too!

My daughter was born 9 weeks early and weighed 3lbs and 11oz and was 17 inches long. Now she's seven and nearly as tall as me! (5'1")

'Twas a scary, scary time, but all is great now.

Oh, and I weighed 6lbs and ??oz. Can't remember how long. I'm sure I was short.

I weighed 7 lbs 10 oz & was 21 inches long. I was also completely bald until I was almost 2.

8 lbs 7 oz. and 21" -- my mother had me c-section and ended up with some sort of infection afterwards. So, the nurses fed me with a bottle for the rest of the time I was in the hospital (apparently I didn't want to work for it). By the time they bought me home, I was 9 lbs

OOpps! a Freudian slip there on the topic. I was fully prepared to answer the question in regards to my manhood. *ahem*

But regarding the topic at hand, I was a premie baby...I weighed right at 4.5 lbs.

I don't even know my birth weight! I'll have to ask.

It is a scary time. Glad she turned out good. Sara was in the hospital at birth a total of 45 days. She had a minor eye alignment problem we just recently discovered. 4 months of therapy, and she is basically cured!
