Second babies, were yours heavier or born earlier?

[lingo1234]

Currently 38+5 and my baby is already estimated to be over 8lb 😬

My first was born at 38+3 (failed induction, EMCS) and was 7lb 5.

In your experiences, did yours weigh more/less than your first and when were they born?

Interested to see responses!

DS 39+3 7lb 12oz
DD 40+2 8lb 6oz

Both spontaneous labours.

DD1 - due date and 8lbs 5. DS - 1 week early and 7lbs something. DS2 - 2 weeks + overdue and 9lbs!

My heaviest baby was my third but he was the easiest labour. He was 8lbs 11oz, no stitches.

DS was 6lb 1oz and born at 38+3

DD was 7lb 11oz and born at 40+4

Dd was nearly double the weight of ds and she was born a week earlier than him.

More.
Dd 1 8.10
Dd 2 9. 9
Ds 10.11

I am 5'5" and 9 stone, my husband is over 6' and we just seem to cook big babies. My son was 6'2" at 14.
Dd 2 is 5" 9".

24+0 - 1lb 5oz
40+2 - 7lb 1oz
37+2 - 4lb 9oz ( induced due to IUGR )

1st was 7lb 11 and 9 days late; 2nd was 8lb6 and 2 days early

My 2nd weighed just as much and was 2 weeks late, as was the first. Most disappointing! My labour with 2nd was much shorter though, like my body finally decided it knew what it was doing.

Wow 24 weeks. If you don't mind me asking, did they survive? ❤️

DS1: 36.3 spontaneous, posterior labour, 7lb 5oz

DS2: 27,0 spontaneous, 2lb 7oz

DD: 41.2, induced, 8lb 13lb swift and cathartic birth.

All spontaneous labour

#1 7lbs 8oz 39+3
#2 7lb 1oz 36+4. Massive head. So very glad he wasn't 39+
#3 7lb 4oz 39+6

I had a sweep with my ds even though I was at 39 weeks...I just wanted him out as my pregnancy was terrible. My labour started then slowed down then ramped up the following day...he then turned at the last minute and was an emergency section in the end. 🙄

1st 11lb+ at 41wks
2nd 1.5lb (24wk loss) would of been heavier than 1st if born at term according to growth chart
3rd 9lb 2 at 39wks

Born one week later, and oddly only 30 grams lighter, but same birth weight in pounds, even though my second was a week older when born.

11lb? 😯

DS1 was a week late - weighed 8lb 5

DS2 was 2 days early - weighed 7lb 5

Dc 2 just under 10lb, ouch 😳. Dc1 6lb 2oz.

Some pains have started since I started this thread. It kind of feels like stomach cramp that you get when you have diarrhoea and need the toilet (sorry TMI!)

Don't know if this really means anything though?

DC2 Weighed less but also 3 weeks early. Quick labour.
DC3 weighed more and was 1 week late
Slightly shorter labour than DC1 but much longer than DC2.
DC4 weighed exactly the same as DC1 and was a week early- similar labour time to DC3.
So all unique!

Dc1 8lb1 and 13 days overdue. Dc2 7lb something and 12 days overdue. Both labours started with one painful contraction which were then a few minutesapart. Dc2 was much, much faster though.

First was 7lb 1oz, 41 weeks exactly, female
Second was 8lbs 5oz 41+4, male.

Second labour was significantly easier. It’s true that heavier babies push themselves out.

DC1 4lb 5 (one month early)
DC2 8lb 11 (2 weeks early)

I didn't want to see if the trend would continue so I stuck with 2.

38+5 6lb15
37+4 6lb04
39+1 7lb09
all spontaneous.
Good luck OP

My second was lighter and later, but only marginally.
Dc1 39+0 6lb 10oz
Dc2 39+2 6lb 5oz
