Are second babies always bigger (in general) than the first?

DS was 8lbs 12 and was C- section as he was breech. Am considering vbac for second, but am terrified this baby will be even bigger! Ouch!

DS1 - 9lb 1/2 oz
DS2 - 9lb 4 oz
However, firstly DS2 was in there 4 days longer so had more time to lay on extra weight and secondly DS2 was a much easier birth as his head was 1cm less in diameter than his brother's!
I think difficulty of birth is sometimes more to do with head size than actual weight of baby!
Good luck and hope you get your VBAC x

dd 6lb 10 two days late, ds 8lb 10 three days early. Both births fairly easy but it did hurt a little more second time round! Go for it, even if you do have a biggie it doesn't always mean problems.
