Birth weight of your babies?

Funnybunnyyumyum · 29/03/2009 21:31

I was just wondering what size babies you have had?
Does is always follow that each subsequent baby is heavier than the last?
One midwife said to me once that there's not always such a big difference between the first two but if you have a third it can be much bigger.
I have had 8lb 10oz, and 8lb 12oz and am curious if the third will be bigger still as my bump seems smaller than with the previous two.
Thanks!

second was 7lb 13oz on due date

so doesn't fit the theory either

dizietsma · 30/03/2009 19:19

My mum was the opposite.

1st- 9lbs

2nd- 8lbs

3rd- 7lbs

I think baby sizing is a pretty inaccurate science, TBH.

ds1 - 8lb 1 oz (on time)
ds2 - 8lb 14oz ( 4 days late)
ds3 estimated on scan at 38 weeks to already be 9lb - born the next day (so 2 weeks early) at 6lb 11 oz

dd1 born at 40+1 weeks: 7lb 8oz
