Am due dc3 later this year and would like to know other people's birth weights. I know this will have no influence over what mine will be but might reassure me....
DC1 was 7 1/2lb
DC2 was 10 1/2lb Shock
I'm just hoping that it's possible to have a smaller baby after a big one Confused
So did yours get bigger each time?

Ludways thank you. When I found out at the scan I was having another boy I was initially a little disappointed. Not that I'm having a boy but that I'll never have a girl as DH is having the snip. But now I can't wait to have a brood of boys. I'll always be queen of the house Grin

DD was 8lbs 7oz and born 41+4

Babylon12 · 25/04/2016 14:02

Thank you for all your replies. There's actually quite a few who got smaller, more than I thought there would be anyway.
I think I'm quite big already but can't really remember how big I was at this stage last time. I automatically get sent for growth scans this time, so hopefully I'll have a little insight Smile

9lb 14oz - 39 weeks
9lb 14oz - 42 weeks (so he would've been smaller had he not kept me waiting - although the whole labour and delivery was 44 minutes from waking up at home with backache and delivering him in hospital).

wrapsuperstar · 25/04/2016 14:08

DD1 -- 8lbs 7oz at 43 weeks
DD2 -- 7lbs 4oz at 39 weeks

Makes me wonder how little DD1 would have been if she hadn't been so overdue! She's very petite now.

Babylon my last bump measured 50cm at 39 weeks it was like a comedy bump people who stop and stare. The midwife used to laugh everytime she saw me! I had growth scans all the way through because my previous baby was so big (10lb8) I was told to expect a least a 10 and a Half pounder. I was petrified and begged for a induction as soon after my due date as possible. The consultant was very blasé about it saying "oh you managed so well last time" Hmm in the end they agree to induce three days after my due date. Dc4 arrived very promptly on he's due date weighing a very petite 8lb10. He was a ventouse delivery (heart decelerations) and when the doctor pulled him out he said "oh he's a big lad!"
Me and dp just looked at each other and burst out laughing. Dp said "you should have seen the sumo that came out of there a year ago!!"

Timetogrowup2016 · 27/04/2016 16:37

Dd 35 weeks was 5 pound 1

lisaneedsarest · 27/04/2016 16:43

7.12
6.15
6.05
the midwife did say when I was pregnant with my second that it would likely be bigger that the first and to be prepared for that (I'm only small...)
Clearly someone forgot to tell babies they have to follow the rules!

I haven't had my baby yet so can't help you with that but I am the third born out of four siblings and I was the smallest so maybe that will make you feel better :)
