How big were your babies?

[BigBabyMaker]

First baby weighed a nice 11lb 2oz.

I’ve heard they get bigger each time, and I’m honestly dreading the idea of a bigger baby. I was massive at the end and it was uncomfortable all round.

How much did your baby’s weigh? And did they get bigger?

DC1 is only 5 months and looking to start TTC when she is around 11months old.

DS1 born 9 days overdue was 7lbs exactly.
DD born 7 days overdue was 6lbs 9oz.
DS2 born 2 days early was 7lbs 5oz.
All natural births, but unusually I found my first birth the least painful 😬
I have huge respect for anyone who gives birth to 10/11lb newborns. My two boys were both long and slim proportioned too, my girl was just dainty all over, so I think I got off fairly lightly!

DD 4lb 5oz
DD 8lb 11oz

I daren't have a 3rd...

All 3 of mine were 6lb 9oz! Apparently that's the weight my womb accepts then kicks them out! All within 3 days of due date

10.4
10
10.3

Ds11 weighed 9lb and dd7 weighed 8Ib 13oz

I've only had the one, but she was a nice 7lb 4.

I always remember my mum saying that my brother was 8lb 10 compared to my 2lb, and his birth was miles easier.

1st 8lb 2
2nd 8lb 10
3rd 7lb 2 & half

8lb 13.5oz
8lb 9oz
11lb 8oz

I had horrendous labours with the first two, the third was the quickest and most straightforward, I had him naturally with gas and air. Once gravity got him there was no going back (or time for an epidural much to my disappointment).

The consultant said to me a fourth baby would most likely be bigger again, but I don't think that's necessarily how it works. Frankly, I'd rather have a big baby naturally than an eight pounder via trauma, interventions and haemorrhage. OP, don't think about it too much, all babies and labours are different.
