Which baby was your biggest?

[abdce21]

Just out of curiosity! Had ELCS at 39 weeks exactly due to babies position and they came out at a rather large 9lb 5oz!

Which didn’t really affect me as it was a planned c section, no struggle. I did just wonder if future babies would be bigger or is there no pattern?

Which one of your children was the biggest/was there any pattern?

DC1: 39+4 7lb7oz
DC2: 38+5 7lb1oz

First was the biggest.

My first, 8lb 13oz.

Dc1 8lbs 3 39+3
Dc2 8lbs 9 41+5
Dc3 9lbs 6 39+6

3 boys
First, 10 days late 8lb13
Second, 7 days early 9lb3
Third ( different dad so might change the pattern) on time 7lb 8

First was 10lb 8oz
Second was 5lb 5oz

DD 40+1 8lb 8oz
DS 39+6 7lb 14oz

So mine got smaller but I think it normally goes the other way!

1st! 10, 9.14 &8.1

1st 9lb 10oz
2nd 11lb

Didn’t chance a 3rd

Ds1 36+6 6lb 12oz
Dd 40+6 7lb
Ds2 39 8lb 2.5oz (big chubby baby and didn't look like he belonged to us at first! Now he and dd are twins!)

DS1 was 8lbs 2
DS2 was 8lbs 3
DD3 was 9lbs 11!!!

1st daughter I was 42 weeks she weighed 6lb 1

2nd daughter arrived on due date 7lb 2

1st 7lb 7oz at 39+6, induction vontouse
2nd 10lb 12oz at 40+5 unassisted vb
3rd 9lb 10oz at 40+2 unassisted vb
4/5th 8lb 5oz & 8lb 11oz at 38, elcs as breech and transverse twins
6th 10lb 15oz at 38+6, c-section after over 20hrs labour and scar rupture.

DD1 - 8lb 6oz
DD2 - 8lb 1oz
DC3- Due November

Was surprised as had GD with second pregnancy and her weight was off the chart so was offered a section.

DC1 6lb12 at 36 weeks
DC2 11lb4 at 41+2, born at home, no pain relief, no issues - much easier than the first! No GD etc either. Measured completely average throughout pregnancy.

Now expecting no3...

I think they tend to get bigger, don't they? Mine did although DS2 and DS3 were very close in size.

Girl 39+1 6lb 13
Boy 39+0 8lb 2.5
Boy 40+0 8lb 13

We are stopping at 3, the third was a horrible forceps birth which I'm still recovering from nearly a year on 😬!!

In general, yes. My second was only smaller because he was born almost 3 weeks earlier.

My grandma had 4 babies, started at 9lb8 and went up half a pound each baby!

3rd was my biggest 10lb 4 homebirth. Definitely last!

@LadyGardenersQuestionTime

DS1 8lbs exactly. DD2 9lbs 10oz. Home birth with home care all the way through, and I looked like I was about to pop from 6 months. The midwife said she found the home birth babies with small team care throughout were on the chunky side.

I had a homebirth and home care throughout my pregnancy with my DD - she came at 41+3 and was a rather small 6lb 7oz, so I'm not sure of the link between big babies and homecare? She's my first and currently my only.

DS1 41+3weeks was 7lb 110z
DS2 39 weeks was 7lb 1oz

My first was bigger than my second but they were both pretty big. Everyone told me my second would be bigger which scared me but luckily didn’t turn out to be true!

1st 7lb 3 at 39wks
2nd 8lb 7 at 40wks
3rd 8lb 2 at 39wks

Dd1 was 6lbs 9oz 10 days late
Dd2 was 7lb 12oz 7 days late by hospital dates almost 3 weeks late by my dates.

DC1: 6lb 12oz 38+1
DC2: 6lb 9oz 36+0
DC3: 7lb 13oz 40+0
