My son was born 8lb 9oz. Second time round now 24 weeks, im having a girl and alot of people have said about 2nd baby is usually bigger. Just wondering what weight your 2nd babies have been? Also thinking maybe cause its a girl she'll be smaller but I dont think it matters much! Defo dont want a big 9lb'er coming out 🙈 lol

First - 8.8lb 2 weeks early
Second - 11lb 6 days late

Was the opposite for me. DD was first at 9lb 10oz. She had masses of think black hair too, it was like being handed a toddler.

DS much smaller at 6lb 14oz. I remember being really shocked and saying "I didn't know they started this small!"

DH had to go out and buy him new babygros as he was swimming in the 0-3 months I got - as I'd assumed he'd be like his sister and too big for Newborn ones.

1st was 7.5lbs at 36 +6. 2nd was 8.5lbs at 38 +0. I dread to think what they'd have been if I went full term!

angieloumc · 16/01/2021 07:51

My children were 8lb 8, 10lb 3oz, 8lb 3oz and 7lb 8oz. I'm 5'2 so my second son was a very big surprise!

MamaBearThius · 16/01/2021 08:23

First baby - 9lbs 11 - 40 weeks
Second baby - 10lbs 6 - 39 weeks

Spaghettiamaretti · 16/01/2021 08:25

First 6lb 7 at 36+5
Second 8lb 6 at 39+1
Pregnant with third and estimated weight on due date is about 8lb8 so all pretty similar

First two were boys, third is a girl which I thought might make her a bit smaller but it appears not!

TenThousandSpoons · 16/01/2021 08:26

My second was 1lb heavier than my first but it was an easier birth overall. Don’t worry too much about a bigger baby being harder to birth.

AnoDeLosMuertos · 16/01/2021 08:27

Baby 1 - 7lbs 6oz
Baby 2 - 7lbs 14oz

So 8oz+ difference. Good luck! Grin

mininionsteve · 16/01/2021 08:29

First 40+2 8lb12 boy
Second 40+4 7lb7 girl

PlasticCupPolitics · 16/01/2021 08:33

First - 7lb5oz, boy born 3 days before due date
Second - 6lb9oz, girl born 5 days before due date

Was told both babies were around 99th centile when having growth scans etc - nowhere near!

HoneyWheeler · 16/01/2021 08:34

First 41+6 and 9lb4oz
Second 41 exactly and 7lb 11oz!

My second was 'diagnosed' as large for gestational age too, so I got a lot of pressure to be induced/have a section. Thankfully I knew that late growth scans are notoriously inaccurate so delayed as much as I felt comfortable doing and I managed a VBAC.

Highheels87 · 16/01/2021 08:39

1st 37+1 6lb 8oz
2nd 38+5 5lb 15oz

Burningbenches · 16/01/2021 10:21

1 (42wks) 8lb11
2 (40+9) 8lb15
3 (42wks) 9lb10
4 (40wks) 9lb5

1,3 &4 were induced. 3 was the biggest but by far the quickest and easiest birth at 2hrs.

4 was induced due to potential size. I'm sure had he gone to 42wks he would have been 10lb5.

natalienewname · 16/01/2021 11:01

I've had three, all progressively bigger from 7lb to 9lb 10oz (!)

Biggest and last baby was the easiest, body did it all itself, I didn't have to actively push.

Chelyanne · 16/01/2021 11:25

1st girl, 39+6wk 7lb 7oz
2nd boy, 40+5wk 10lb 12oz
3rd girl, 40+2wk 9lb 10oz
4&5 twin girls, 38wk 8lb 5oz & 8lb 11oz

Singletons were all natural births but twins breech so cesarean. If this one does well we are expecting another large one.

PowPurry · 16/01/2021 12:01

40+1 girl 8lb11
39+4 boy 8lb6
40+0 girl 8lb4

Currently cooking another boy and intrigued how number 4 turns out Smile

Sexnotgender · 16/01/2021 12:02

First 6lb1 at 10 days late but she has medical issues that confer small stature
Second 7lb15 and number 3 is still cooking.

Sexnotgender · 16/01/2021 12:03

Sorry number 2 was 2 weeks late too.
