How big do you get with your 3rd child?

[milupa]

Can anyone share any experiences?
I know that you tend to get bigger with your second baby sooner than with the first because everything is streched.Do you get even biger with your third?

Can't remember exactly how big I was with no 3 but am currently expecting no4 and although I've less than a month to go everyone keeps commenting on how 'neat' I am. In fact I was harely noticeably pregnant until about 6 or 7 months, which was the same as with no1, so I don't think it necessarily follows.

normal really - 1st was smallest at birth, second bigger third in between

its after is hardest

i agree - 2nd was biggest (7.7, 9.5, 8.9) but probably showed a bit earlier with 3rd. or maybe around the same as 2nd. much earlier than with 1st as well.

I stopped measuring when my 'waist' got to 44inches. DS1 only got to 40 and DS2 was about the same as DS3.

I don't think you are bigger automatically with each pregnancy. In the end I was the same size with my 2nd as I was with the first. Just got a bump sooner, esp was bigger in weeks... 12-28?, but by the end the circumference of the bump was identical. I measured my belly every week or so, which is how I know for sure about that. Put on maybe 2-4 lbs more in 2nd pregnancy, but I was pregnant 9 days longer, too. Am only 18 weeks with my 3rd, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not any bigger, this time compared to 2nd pregnancy.

So right now I definitely have a bump, and am in maternity clothes, but they just keep falling off of me!

I was probably biggest with my second baby. First two babes were 8.8lbs each, third was 7lb 5oz and fourth was 7lb 1oz. I didn't really show with any of them until four to five months.

I was smaller with my 2nd and so far (6 months pregnant) have shown later and not got bigger quicker with my 3rd. Not sure why except with my first pregnancy I was scared and ate lots of comfort food. did do lots of exercise in between each one though.

I was huge with no.3 - didn't look it to the outside world apparently, but I can say I never felt so oversized and unwieldy before. Rather annoyingly I outgrew my old maternity clothes at 33 weeks or so. Also, baby no.3 was the biggest.

I felt huge with no.3, don't remember having trouble walking with the other 2 towards the end. No.3 was the smallest.

I was biggest with my first so it diesn't always mean that you get bigger with each pregnancy. I was neatest with my fourth which happened to be a change of sex. Only thing is I delivered earlier with last 2 so don't know what size I would have become but I definately was smaller at the same stages of pregnancy.
