Was your second baby heavier than your first?

[faithfulbird20]

My first was a tiny baby so I've bought tiny baby clothes and first size clothes. But my notes predict this baby will be a bit heavier. Luckily I've only bought 3 sleep suits and a pack of vests. It's just about what to take to the hospital. The less I take the less I have to carry with me...last time...even though I packed my bags... hubby didn't know where everything was and obviously after Labour I just gave up...

1stDD 10lbs 14oz. 42 weeks
2ndDD 10lbs 7 oz 39+5
3rdDS 11lbs 8oz. 38+5

Yes but only by 2oz

Very slightly - 7lb7 to 7lb9. Third was slightly bigger still at 7lb10

Then 4th came out at 9lb1 with an enlarged placenta as well (no known medical cause). Poor boy's shoulder got stuck for a bit and his head was like 98% or something like that - it was as if I wasn't already convinced he'd be my last that I needed extra convincing . He was too big for the newborn outfit his siblings wore.

Yes, first was 5lb 10oz but dropped to 5lb and was in tiny baby for a long time. Ds was 8lb 10oz and in newborn he couldn't stretch his legs so I put him into 0-3 straight away.

My first 2 were 6lbs13 and number 3 was 2 weeks early and 6lbs14, I knew she would have been my heaviest if 40 weeks xx

7lbs 9oz at 42 weeks
8lbs 6oz at 39 weeks
6lbs 14ozs at 37 weeks

The third is now 12 months old and bigger than either sibling at the same age.

Yes.

First - girl @ 38+6 - 7lb 1oz
Second - boy @ 38+6 - 8lb 2oz

Hoping this one won’t be another pound heavier !

Dc1: 8lb 3 at 40+9
Dc2: 7lb 14 at 39+4
DC3: 7lb 9 at 38+4

I think they would have all been the same size if born on their due dates. DD1 was measuring very small on scans - predicted under 6lbs and had lots of extra scans- so I had tiny baby clothes ready to go and she was a whopper (in comparison)- had to send my mum to M&s to buy something bigger to bring her home in!

A little
DD1 8lb 4
DD2 8lb 7

Yes
1 6lbs 10.5oz (born 37w)
2 7lbs 7lbs 8.5oz (born 39w) he was predicted to be 9lbs11 on a growth scan...pretty far out!
3 TBC!

Yes. First was 7lb 12 and the second was 8lb 5.

NB baby 1 was two weeks overdue and baby 2 was 3 days early so if they were the other way around I think no 2 would have been a whopper!

Yep

1. 6lbs 13.5oz
2. 8lbs 12.5oz

1st 6lbs 8 at 41wks +4
2nd 7lbs 7 at 41wks+3
3rd 8lbs 11 at 41wks

Yes.

41 weeks - 9.6
38 weeks - 9.12

8:2 (40wk)
8:9.5 (39wk)
9:10 (39wk)
This one will probs be huge

First 6lb1
Second 7lb15

39+5 6lb14
38+2 6lb 5 1/2
39 8lb 7

The midwife questioned my dates with dc3 as she was born looking really over due and I had lost twins just before getting pregnant with her.

Yes, 1lb heavier

1 - 8lb 9
2 - 7lb 11

2nd was smaller... but we’re talking 9lb 3oz vs 9lb 5oz.

My main hospital bag tip though: get a couple of ziplock sandwich bags. Fill each one with a nappy, vest, babygro and hat in each likely size. Write the size on the front. Spares go somewhere else. Then your OH/midwife can just pull one out, rather than rummaging around to find a matching outfit in the right size.

Yes nearly double the weight. Dd was huge.

1. 8lb 3
2. 10lb and very long. Dh needed to go home for bigger babygrows.

Yes 10lb 12 then 11lb 13.

7lbs 8oz 2 days early
7lbs 13oz 11 days overdue
9lbs 2oz 10 days overdue
