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!

DS1 7lb 3oz (39 weeks)
DD1 6lb 8oz (39 weeks)
DD2 6lb 10oz (39 weeks)
DC4 TBC but obviously hoping for similarly manageable size, not a whopper, and birth that happens in an orgasmic way

dd 9lb 4 oz

if a third is much bigger then I'm stopping at 2!

childrenchildreneverywhere · 31/03/2009 18:24

DS1 = 10lbs (40+14)
DS2 = 9lb 12oz (40+2 - but induced and was "growth restricted" due to failing placenta and pre-eclampsia)
DS3 = 11lb 3oz (40+2)
DD1 = 11lb 1oz (40+8)

andlipsticktoo · 31/03/2009 18:32

CarGirl · 31/03/2009 18:38

All Girls, all induced as they were overdue:

7lb 6oz @ 41 weeks (my dates!)
10lb 60z @ 42+2 weeks
9lb 2oz @ 40+1 weeks (induced as didn't want anouther 10lb baby and to have to stay in etc)
9ib 10oz @42 weeks

idobelieveinfairies · 31/03/2009 18:42

8lb 11ozs (2 weeks late)
8lb 14ozs (10days late)

8ld 5 1/2ozs (due date)

SIANYWARNY · 01/04/2009 20:50

7lb 14 & 9lb 11! Both girls, and both natural births!
I'd love a 3rd x

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 02/04/2009 05:42

10lb 12oz. Not sure I will be having a second to find out!

cazzaben · 02/04/2009 14:09

DS1 5lb 8oz - 3 days before due date
DS2 8lb 8oz - 11 days early

Apparantly DS1 stopped growing at some point although they dont know why (placenta was also very small and not the right colour)

I think they will be what they will be and no one on earth can determine the exact weight of your LO
