Ds1 8lb 10oz born 42 +2
Ds2 8lb 6oz born 41+6
Ds3 8lb 12oz norm 39+5
Ds4 7lb 6oz born 39 weeks

Roomba · 19/12/2018 22:46

Yes, 6lb 6oz vs 5lb 0oz. But DS1 was six weeks premature, so he would have been heavier than DS2 in theory if he'd arrived on his due date.

MountainPeakGeek · 19/12/2018 22:47

Yep!

1st: 8lbs 1oz
2nd: 9lbs 4oz.

RockingAroundTheChristmasTree1 · 19/12/2018 22:48

Yep!
DS1 - 6lb 11
DS2 - 9lb!!

LynetteScavo · 19/12/2018 22:49

8lb 15oz

8lb 6oz

7lb 1oz

All 2 weeks overdue

Laniakea · 19/12/2018 22:50

No - 3.5kg, 3.3kg, 3kg, 3.1kg

Dd1 was the biggest & born the earliest too!

Mammaof · 19/12/2018 22:54

No my first was 8.9 and my second was 7.3

fadehead · 19/12/2018 22:56

My midwife said something about subsequent babies (if not born prematurely) being born closer in weight to the mean. So first Gaby below average, second will be bigger and same vice versa.

Mine were a tiny 5lb12 (born on due date), 6lb14 (week overdue) followed by 8lb6! (nearly 2 weeks overdue) My third looked like a toddler to me after my first two littlies. I’m not risking a fourth Grin

LittleRen · 19/12/2018 22:58

Yes..

First 7lb 15
Second 9lb
Third 9lb 8oz and the best birth of the lot!

Fairypiggy · 19/12/2018 23:00

No, first 7lbs11oz at 38 weeks and second 6lbs 8oz at 39 weeks.

Yearofthemum · 19/12/2018 23:19

No. It never worked like that for me.

HollySwift · 19/12/2018 23:21

Yes. But my third was smaller than both of them and my fourth was the biggest of the lot, despite being a week early!

ALittleBitofVitriol · 19/12/2018 23:23

Yep.

7lb 12oz
8lb 10oz
9lb 8oz

And.......

9lb 1oz lol.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 19/12/2018 23:24

Adding - biggest baby was the easiest birth by far!

Amazonian27 · 19/12/2018 23:26

Yes first 7.5 second 8.5

Amazonian27 · 19/12/2018 23:27

Yes second bigger baby easier and far quicker by miles.

lazymare · 19/12/2018 23:29

10lb12 then 8lb7.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 19/12/2018 23:33

Yes. Smallest to largest it goes:
dc1 5lb1oz,
dc2 5lb 5oz,
dc5 5lb 11oz,

dc3 6lb13oz.
My biggest was my easiest too, also the cloest to 40 weeks (all the others being before by varying degrees, only 1 prem).

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 19/12/2018 23:37
