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!

Slightly less but still over 8lbs and slightly earlier but still a week overdue!

DC1 - 8lb 15oz at 42 + 2
DC2 - 9lb 1oz at 40 + 5

So very close in weight, but DC1 was sooo late. I dread to think what DC2 would've been if they hadn't been evicted early!

DD was born at 40+5 weighing 6lb14oz, which was 9th centile.
DS was born 38+5 weighing 8lb10oz, 87th centile.

I'm now pregnant with DS2, 29+4 and having a growth scan in 2 weeks. Wondering if he will be bigger than DS1!
