DD2 7lb 2oz 9 days late

I think that worked out as 2nd and 9th centiles so both pretty small.

These days they are 25-50th centiles for weight and 91-98th for height so they don't necessarily stay small.

3rd & 4th 8lbs 5ozs 40+5 weeks and 40 weeks

1st birth was the worst I have quick labours though

Cuppasoupmonster · 28/10/2022 23:01

Thanks all. So it looks like there is a bit of correlation although can also be random! DD was 6lb5 and next baby will be induced at the same gestation. Looking similarish on scans so wondered whether I would have to push out anything bigger nervous laughter
