First 7.2
Second 7.3

In order: 5lb 1oz, 5lb 5oz (premature), 6lb 13oz (closest to due date), 6lb 5oz, 5lb 6oz. They were all classed as IUGR (4 below 5th centile, 1below 10th) but in all honesty I think I just incubate small babies. Dh was only 5lb 6oz & I was bang on 6lb, we were both about 2.5 weeks early.

I thought of course they got heavier as they had milk several times a day.... then I realised Grin

Baby number two was 1.5 oz heavier than the first and the last was 11 oz heavier than the second.

I think this is all irrelevant as it matters if baby was early or late etc.

Aquamarine1029 · 15/11/2019 16:50

8lbs 12oz
9lbs 5oz

Busybeebeebee · 15/11/2019 16:55

Am I the only one reading this with a Shock at how many heavier babies there are?
I’m slightly panicking now as 37 weeks with my 3rd Confused

Me too! My second was heavier but later, so likely to be. I think probably it's gestation that makes the difference, rather than birth order.

7lb 7 at 39+4
7lb 4 at 40+ 5
