Was your third baby the heaviest/biggest?

[chloemack]

My first baby was 7.9lbs and second 8.6lbs, I was quite neat with both but this times round my bump is HUGE & measuring a week ahead!

no1 7lb 10oz
no2 6lb 12oz (3 weeks early)
no3 8lb 3oz
no4 8lb 5oz
no5 9lb 2oz

ds: 8lb 2 40+10
dd: 8lb 10 40+10
ds: 7lb 4 38+5

3rd bump marginally the biggest

and I looked like a double garage each and every single time. DD3 is now 2yrs old and I still look like a single garage

No - 3rd baby was lightest, least overdue, and longest labour (quite possibly my fault for getting in the pool a bit early).

DD - 8lb 10 (13 days over)
DS1 - 8lb 15 (14 days over)
DS2 - 8lb 1 (a mere 5 days over)

1-7lb 10oz 13 days late
2- 7lb 8oz 16 days early
3-8lb 3oz edd

Yes, my third was very close to 10lbs. Not a stitch in sight either

ds1 7lbs10
dd 8lbs 8
ds2 8lbs 11
ds3 8lbs 10
ds4 8lbs 8
ds5 8lbs 3

Nope. They got smaller each time.
First 8lbs 12oz (40+10)
Second 7lbs 9oz (40+11)
Third 7lbs 8oz (40+13)
Fourth 7lbs 6oz (40+11)

duchesse -your belly looks cosy - they just don't want to get out do they?

No1: 10lbs 5oz
No2: 11lb 12oz (honestly!)
No3: 8lb 10oz (tiddler).

Each one a week - 10 days overdue.

I was resigned after the first one Otter. And numbers 2, 3 and 4 are all girls and I was a lot more comfortable even late in pregnancy with them, so not that bothered. My first pregnancy was trying towards the end.

Pity my poor sister who naturally has 44 week pregnancies. She was induced with her second at 42 weeks and he came out covered in vernix.

WWY- 11lbs12oz!! Ouch. Did you have to dress that baby in age 3 m straight away?

I don't think DD3 reached 12lbs until about 5 months or later.

wow that's intriguing (personal question please feel free to ignore) do you have long cycles?

Duchesse - yes, I felt a bit sad for her really, as she was never dressed in the tiny first-weeks clothes.

With DS2 it felt weird to be able to carry the baby on one arm!

dd1 8lbs 8oz (42 weeks)
dd2 8lbs 13oz (41 weeks)
dd3 7lbs 15oz (41 weeks)

So dd3 was the smallest by some degree. Ha to the consultant who told me I must have a GTT as this baby would be at least 9 or 10lbs......(I refused it)

NortherLurker - that's interesting. I refused too however the consultant sweet talked me and DD3 was the only one I had GD with and she was the smallest!! I had an elective CS with her the day after her due date but was adament I was going to try myself - mitigating circumstances though meant I didn't have the energy or the mental strength to go through a failed labour then EMCS again as the recovery after DD2 was horrific

WWWY - well done lady!! None of ours went into newborn clothing and the staff all laughed that we should put them straight into school uniforms!

dd1 - 6lb 1/2oz
dd2 9lb 7 oz with a huge head!
dd3 8lb 4 oz

yes no 3 the heaviest
ds1 40 + 1 7lbs
ds2 38 + 3 5lbs 8ozs
ds3 40 7lbs 2 ozs

No, my first was biggest, 8lb 12oz (very clever baby arrived exactly on due date)second was very prem and teeny, third was 7lb 12 oz (week early)

1st 7lb 8oz
2nd 8lb 8oz
3rd 8lb
4th 9lb
All born between 38 and 41 weeks and funnily enough my dd was bigger than my 3ds.

Er, yes! Check this out -

1st 6lb 10oz
2nd 7lb 4oz
3rd 12lb 13oz

A little unexpected but the easiest and lovliest of all 3 homebirths.

No 3rd baby was the smallest, but much longer then the other two! very quick birth as well.

1st 7lb 8oz DS born on due date
2nd 7lb 13oz DD born 3 days early
3rd 7lb 4oz DD born 3 days early

My 2nd was the biggest even adjusting for gestation.

7lb 6oz - 1 week over
10lb 6oz - 17 days over
9lb 2oz - 1 day over
9lb 10oz - 14 days over

Marjean ...and a home-birth too?

Yes, my 3rd was my biggest:

dd1 - 9lb 3 - 12 days overdue
dd2 - 8lb 13 - 3 days early
dd3 - 9lb 5 - 8 days overdue

Marjean!!! 12 pounder wow!!!

Is he/she much bigger than the others now or taller?
