I'm slightly in shock, amazing second baby born last night but such a difference in size to first.

Just wondered what other people's size differences were?

Baby 1, girl, 3 days early, 6lb 12oz
Baby 2, boy, 8 days late 8lb 13oz

Baby girl 1 - 7lbs 1oz 1 week early
Baby girl 2 - 8lbs 6oz 1 week 2 days early

Both were promised to be '10 pounders' at all the scans and measurements. Thank fuck they weren't.

Congratulations!

DD1 41+2 8lbs 0oz 50cm - rosy pink, loads of dark hair, small and chunky. Went into hospital about 9.30pm, had epidural at 10.30pm, she was born at 3.30am. Had second degree tear and lots of bruising and a sore back for a couple of weeks after.

DD2 41+1 9lbs 2oz 61cm - pale pink, bald, long and skinny. It really surprised me how different she looked from DD1 when she came out! Went into hospital about midnight, had gas and air, she was born at 4.30am. Minor tear, no bruising or back pain - really surprised me how quick the recovery was.

DD1 is 12 now and one of the most petite among her friends. DD2 is 8 and one of the tallest.

DS1 6 days late 7.11
DS 2 4 days late 8.6
DS 3 2 days late 7.13 1/2
