Is it true 2nd babies weigh more?

[mummyjanine]

Did your second weigh more, what was the weight difference for the two??

1st 9lb2 to the day
2nd 9lb2 7 days late

I was also 9lb2!!

Duchesse, yes the midwife said he was the tallest she'd ever had. Problem is people think he's older than he is so expect more of him. I have to keep saying "he's only 2".

DD1 7lb 10 at 40+8
DD2 8lb 5 at 40+5

Oh and in my case it was quicker 2nd time, DD1 11 hrs 45 mins, DD2 1hr 31mins

Baby no1 - 7lb 14
Baby no2 - 8lb

Not always but it is much more likely.
Mine got heavier each time

I hope not!

DD 6lb 13oz

I was hoping this one would be smaller. I'm going by what happened to my mum, my sister (older) was heavier than me when born.

2 friends just had 2nd babies, one was heavier than first, one lighter so it's anyone's guess really

My second - a girl - was 1lb 6oz lighter than my boy.

DS1 10lb 4oz

DS2 8lb 13oz

Different dads though

My 2nd was lighter

Ds 40 weeks 9lb 5 ounces

Dd 39 weeks 8lb 11 ounces

And my girl was tiny she was in premature clothes nappies bottles ect

So not always heavier

My sisters had 4and her 3rd and 4th were a pound lighter that 1st and 2nd x

DD was 6lb 4.5 at 41 weeks
DS was 7lb 6.5 at 39 weeks
the smaller one was the one that got properly stuck

Dc1 - 7lb9
Dc2 - 8lb1
Dc3 - 8lb 6

Dd 40+7 7lb 4oz
Ds 40+2 9lb 4oz

DD 40w - 8lbs5
DS 39+1 - 7lbs13

DS1 7lb 5oz at 40+10
DS2 6lb 10oz at 38+4

Ds1 was 7lb 7 at 40+2
Ds2 was 7lb 10 at 38+6

Only in labour for an hour with ds2 though, so the extra 3oz didn't slow him down!

2nd was 1lb lighter both born on due date. However I ate much better 2nd time round and gained much less weight through choice...still 7.6 though

Ds was 8lb 14oz and dd was 8lb 2oz. Was still absolutely huge with her though. Looked like I had a beach ball down my top.

Nope! DS 40+3, 9lb 5oz,
DD 41+2, 8lb 8oz.

She was easy after Hefty Boy

dc1 3350g 2 weeks overdue
dc2 3830g before due date, planned c section

DS1 39+1 7lbs 10

DS2 40+3 5lbs 15

Thank you ladies! :)

1st 41+6 7lb 11oz

2nd 37+2 7lb 6oz.

I was induced with both, so if I'd of gone over again he would of been heavier.

DS1 - 41+4 - 8lb 13oz
DS2 - 40+6 - 8lb 10oz
DS3 - 40+2 - 8lb 12oz
DS4 - 35+3 - 7lb 2oz

DS1: 38+5, 7lb 3oz
DS2: 40+15, 8lb 6oz

DS 8lb1oz, DD 8lb2oz. Both born at 39 weeks. We'll know in a few weeks if DD2 will be 8lb3oz!
