To ask if your second baby was as big as your first

[Cantthinkofausername1990]

So I've heard a lot of people saying that the second baby is usually bigger than the first, what has your experience of this been? My first was 9lb 6oz so afraid this one will be bigger
And did your pregnancies last the same length of time? Ds was born at 38 weeks so hoping number 2 will arrive around the same time and doesn't go on to 40 + weeks.

8lb 15oz - three days early
8lb 2 oz - 8 days overdue

My first baby is much bigger than my second. She is 2 years older though

[listsandbudgets]

Both of mine were the same 7lb 10oz - one girl one boy

[FudgeBrownie2019]

Second one was much heavier but born on exactly the same day in my pregnancy.

[DippyAvocado]

DD1 9lb9, DD2 9lb3. Both 40+5 so not always that the second is bigger. I did make more of a conscious effort not to gain as much with DD2 as DD1 was large and she was a bit smaller but not much.

[outpinked]

Second was smaller than first but third was the biggest and fourth was the smallest.

[TiredTodayZzzz]

7lb 3.5oz 40+5
5lb 4oz 37+3

My second was my smallest, although I'm expecting dc4 so don't know about this one yet! All mine were around a week overdue; 8lb3, 8lb1 and 9lb3.

[FrenchyQ]

Both 7lb 11oz first 3 days late, second 4 days early

[Friendabc]

Smaller, quicker and earlier.

[CaptainJaneway62]

First DS 7lb 12oz - 2 weeks late

Second DD 7lb 5oz - 10 days early

[MrsSiriusBlack1]

dd1 3days early 7lb 11.5
Dd2 on due date 7lb 11.5 (yes exactly the same!)
Dd3 4 days early 7lb 6

[PandaCat]

My second was smaller, but only by a few ounces and only because she was born 3 weeks before her due date.

I assume she would have been at least 1 or 2lbs bigger if she'd reached her closer to her due date. That's if she was actually growing still as I was booked in for a growth scan to check a week after she was born.

[Heathcliff27]

First 7.3 1 week early
Second 7.10 on due date
Third 7.35 2 weeks late

[SuddenlyISee]

My first (DD) was 3 days late and was 8lb9oz compared to DS who was a day early and was 8lb5oz.

[Heathcliff27]

7 3 and a half thats meant to be

[motheroftinydragons]

My second was 2oz smaller, but born six days earlier. So I expect she'd have been pretty much bang on the same if born at the same time!

[Marmite27]

1st was 6lb 13oz at 38 weeks, 2nd 6lb 11oz at 35 weeks. Would more than likely bigger than her sibling after another 3 weeks.

[OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny]

My second one was about 1lb 8oz bigger

[kelly14]

2nd was smaller by just shy of 3lb

1st DD (14) 9lb 6.5oz emergency c section @ 42 weeks
2nd DS (1) 6lb 7oz elective c section 39 weeks

[HoldMyGirl]

My 2nd was my smallest.
My 3rd was the heaviest

[happyhillock]

1st DD 5lb 9oz two weeks early
2nd DD 5lb 15oz two weeks late

[Grumpbum123]

First 2/52 late - 7lb 11oz
Second on due date - 5.10oz

[Stressedmummyof4]

1st was 8lbs 4oz girl
2nd was 10lbs 6oz boy
3rd was 8lbs 14 oz girl

[Kaykay06]

All boys they are what they are I don’t think it makes any difference to be honest
