Big first baby; how big was your DC2?

[Teatimecakes]

Ds was 9lb 7oz and born by elcs due to transverse presentation so no option for natural birth.
I'm now 37.5 weeks with DD and all is currently looking good for vbac.
But... I'm concerned about her size having heard some big baby horror stories. So if your first was a whopper, how did your second measure up?!

Ds1 10lb
Ds2 11lb

First was just over 10lb, late.

Second was 8 and half pound but also 3 weeks earlier.

Third was is the middle at 9lb bang on due date.

[Outflewthewoo]

DS1 was 9lbs 5oz at 42 weeks
DS2 7lbs 7oz at 39 weeks

Girls are often smaller than boys at birth, so you might not get a bigger one this time.

I had two boys and they were 7lbs 15oz and 8lb 14oz.

[HelenaJustina]

DC1 8lb 12 at 12 days late
DC2 6lb 12 at 6 days late
Next two were somewhere in the middle, try not to worry to much as it is one of those things that you can have little/no impact on!

[Teatimecakes]

Outflewthewoo - that's a reassuring!!!

DS 9.7
DD 9.0

[ChuckNovice]

First 2 day late and second 2 days early

[Want2bSupermum]

DD was 8lb 8oz and DS was 10lb 6oz. I gained less during the 2nd pregnancy too so large size of DS more a result of going 10 days over.

[ZenNudist]

Ds1 9lb9oz born 40+8

Ds2 9lb7oz born 40+5

I reckon he was smaller because he arrived quicker

[littlejohnnydory]

First 8lb 7oz born on due date.
Second 10lb4oz at 40+16
Third 8lb13oz at 40 +3

[littlejohnnydory]

PS. Don't panic about the size - the ten pounder was my easiest labour, at home and v straightforward.

[BillStickersIsInnocent]

DD 9 1
DS 10 5 (he was a week late though)

It stung a bit

[BillStickersIsInnocent]

But was fine.

New baby, how lovely. Good luck!

[Tweasels]

9lb 2oz due date
9lb 13oz 2 weeks late.

Tear and stitches were worse first time though. Think I may have ahem stretched

[ilovemonstersinc]

Ds1 8lb7 born 39 weeks
ds2 8lb13 born 40weeks
ds3 9lb5 born 38weeks I was induced due tk size and reduced movements. Can you imagine how big he would have been if left till term or even past term

[ilovemonstersinc]

Ps the biggest was by far the easiest and most safest delivery for me

[Clarabumps]

First 8lbs 12 oz overdue by 6 days
Second 7lb 10oz overdue by 6 days
Third 10lb 2 oz overdue by 14 days

[BuckskinnedAstronaut]

DC1 10lb 5oz (EMCS due to asynclitic presentation)
DC2 8lb 15oz (VBAC)
DC3 6lb 10oz (VBAC) (I think I actually exclaimed "Good grief, it's two-thirds of a baby!" but I blame that on the gas and air...)

[ShelaghTurner]

DD1 8lb 10oz
DD2 10lbs

Both flew out like greased pigs.

[Mintyy]

Dc1 9lb 2oz
Dc2 8lb 15oz

[MadameJosephine]

DS 8lb 12oz at 38+5
DD 6lb 13oz at 39+6 - I remember saying to the midwife 'where's the rest of her?'

[bigkidsdidit]

Ds1 8-13 and hard work
Ds2 9-10, back to back, and easy peasy! I don't think size is the most important factor in a painful birth

[SixImpossible]

Dc1 8lb10
Dc2 9lb3
Dc3 11lb

All SVD, all 40 or 41w. Each labour shorter, easier and less damaging than the previous one.

Hope it goes well for you

[hugoagogo]

ds 9lb 3oz 41 weeks
dd 9lb 13oz 41 weeks

Both by emcs
