4th birth and baby size.

[Oldmotherhubbardlivesinashoe]

I'm expecting my 4th baby and was wondering how other people's 4th birth went and how big their babies were in comparison. My 3rd was by far the easiest birth but he was 2lbs heavier than my other 2 babies.

My 4th was my heaviest at 8lb 8, first was 7.4 then 2 at 6.14. So my heaviest but not by a massive amount.

Mine went
6-13 dd.
9-3 ds.
8-8 ds.
7-10 ds.
All ds's births less than 3 hours each!!

Mayalready crikey I thought 5 hours was good going 3 would be wonderful 😁

4th was my heaviest and by far my fastest. Barely made it into the labour ward and gave birth before getting to a delivery suite. Pushing stage of about 2 minutes...

#1 was 7lb 2oz
#2 (easiest birth) 8lb 12 oz
#3 was 9lb 2oz
#4 was 7lb 5oz (but born at 37 weeks, so would have been 9lb at 40 weeks).

Dc 6 was 2 hours.. Fast asleep in bed at 10.30 pm. Awoke on agony, rang for an ambulance at 11.30 when I realised the hospital was quite a way - got there with ten mins to spare.
While still wearing clothes +shoes +mw cutting my pants off!
The mw who said I had ages when I said his head was there!!

Don't hang about is my advice!

mayalready how was your fifth, i am expecting dc5

Dc4 waa heaviest baby at 8lb9, born in 5 hours and back to back

Unfortunately dc 5 was back to back. Hospital sent us out for a walk at local park!! Lots of men fishing and me in a gown and coat!
Wasn't too bad tbh. Just pd off after easy births!

Oh goodness my 3rd was 9.5lbs, I'd better get bigger baby grows for this one 😱
