DS was 8lb15, I feel huge this time and carrying a DD (currently 30 weeks).

I was hoping as it is a DD she will be smaller... am I wishful thinking!!?????

DS1- (40+5) 8lbs 2oz, 53cm
DD- (40+10) 8lbs 5oz, 56cm
DS2 (39+3) 8lbs 2oz , 53cm
So not really much difference between them all although DS2 looked much smaller and was exactly the same as DS1

DS was 6lb 1oz
DD was 7lb 11oz

She seemed enormous to me Grin

Bigger. By about 2 pounds. DS was 7lb 6o, DD was almost 10 pounds.

My DS was 8lbs 10oz and 8 days overdue.
My DD was 8lbs 1 oz but 1 week early. I expect she would have been similar to DS if she'd gone to 8days over.

(Both born by 38 weeks and few days)

DS 9lb2oz 40+10
DD 9lb5oz 40+7
Both 55 cm.

DS was 6lb 9oz at 38+1
DD was 7lb 9oz at 40+2

So they would have been about the same, if DS had gone to 40 weeks. First thing I said when I saw DD was omg she's massive...but obviously, she just looked bigger than the last time I had a newborn.

ds1 9lb 1oz at 40 +3
ds2 8lb 90z at 41 + 1
ds3 5lb 3 oz at 32 weeks
ds4 9lb 3oz at 39 weeks
dd 2lb 3oz at 28 weeks.

All the boys were larger than average. I think dd was at the 50th centile for her gestatation. But I was sick as a dog all the way through with dd and was still vomiting every morning at 28 weeks.

My DS was a week late and weighed 7lb7oz
My DD was 3 days early and weighed 7lb 13oz
I have heard that subsequent babies tend to be bigger now pregnant with third and expecting it to be in the 8lb region !

AdventuresWithVoles · 10/07/2012 12:42

DD 8% bigger.

tazmo · 10/07/2012 16:21

Ds 7 lbs 13
Dd (2 nd baby) 8 lbs 12 oz so bigger

RhinestoneCowgirl · 10/07/2012 16:23

DS was 8lb 8oz
DD was 8lb

But now they are older DS is above average height and DD is petite (she's 3.5)

wickedfairy · 10/07/2012 18:20

DS (6 wks early) was 5lb13 but by the time his EDD came he was over 10lbs and turned into a chunky monkey!

DD (1 week late) was 9lbs. She was not as big as DS was throughout babyhood.

blueglue · 10/07/2012 18:22

DD was my 2nd and she was 2 oz bigger than DS who was first.

shushpenfold · 10/07/2012 18:23

Both dds bigger than ds....didn't last though!!!

Tangfasticlady · 10/07/2012 18:31

DS weighed 7lb 6oz at 42+4, now 15, 5ft 11 and 13 stone!
DD weighed 5lb 13oz at 41+3, now 13 and still tiny, though if i disclosed her weight she'd kill me!

ShhhhhGoBackToSleep · 10/07/2012 18:37

DS 8lb 15 at 40+o
DD 7lb 13 at 39+4
