My first was the lightest, second the heaviest and third in the middle. Not much between them all though.

I've got girl, boy, girl though and boys are heavier, aren't they?

Vintagegoth · 19/12/2018 22:12

No.
1st 6lb 15oz 14 days late
2nd 6lb 9oz 1 day early

Dd1 7lb 3oz
Ds1 8lb 9 oz
Dd2 8lb
Dd3 8lb
Dd4 8lb
Ds2 10lb
Ds3 8lb 7oz

So dc2 was bigger than dc1,3,4,5 and 7 but smaller than dc6

Helpmemyhairisterrible · 19/12/2018 22:21

Girl 7lb 7, boy 8lb 2, 39 and 37+5 respectively. She's a dainty thing (unlike me!) and my boy has his Dad's build. It's all down to genetics. Interestingly, I lost weight while pregnant with my son because I was sick for the first three months then had various colds and vomiting bugs all the way through. Put it all back on and then some in the sixx months since he was born. Don't eat your toddler's dinner and then yours too!!

BackforGood · 19/12/2018 22:22

Yes, but only by a tiny bit, and dc3 was smallest

7lb 2oz
7lb 4oz
6lb 15oz

TheChristmasYouGetYouDeserve · 19/12/2018 22:23

I've only got the one DC but my mum's babies were:

Me: 7 pounds
Bro1: 8 pounds
Bro2: 9 pounds 3oz. The doctor told her she better stop there (she is v petite)

BitOutOfPractice · 19/12/2018 22:24

Yes

1: 8lbs 14oz: 2 weeks late

  1. 9lbs 12oz: on time
Girlsworld92 · 19/12/2018 22:25

No but I was larger. My 1st was 2 weeks late & my 2nd 1 week early so that may explain it. Both still good sizes

MarmiteTermite · 19/12/2018 22:26

Yes:
7lb 5oz
8lb 7oz

cliffdiver · 19/12/2018 22:26

Nope.

Half a pound smaller.

MuchTooTired · 19/12/2018 22:26

Yes, DT1 6lb 6oz, DT2 7lb 3oz, born at 36+5. Think I would’ve exploded if they’d stayed in until 40 weeks.

Babykoala1 · 19/12/2018 22:27

First was 5Ibs 7oz and my second was 7Ibs 4oz - they both arrived a week early.

msnowtybach · 19/12/2018 22:29
