So they say second babies are bigger than your first - is your third bigger than your second?

dc1 - 4lb 7wks early
dc2 - 8lb1 19 days late
dc3 - 9lb7 21 days late
dc4 - 7lb4 1wk early

no, and my 4th was the same size as my first.

ds1 8lb 1oz - 1 day early 3rd degree tear
ds2 8lb 14oz 4 days late no tear
ds3 6lb 11oz 2 weeks early but th ebuiggest bump

my second one was biggest

ds1 6lb 11oz

dd 8lb 4oz

ds2 7lb 7oz

8 lb 14
9 lb 6
10 lb 4 1/2

Yes mine seemed to get bigger!
dd1 6lbs
dd2 6lbs- lots of sutures urghhhhh
dd3 8lbs 7oz no sutures HB 41 +6
dd4 9lbs 5oz no sutures HB 41 weeks- 1 3/4 hour fast and furious labour!!!

Body definitely by number 4 knew what it was doing, and would have at number 3 if my first hadn't been Lscs.
Go go go! Good luck

ISn't it annoying (re tesco ladies)

Complete strangers say to me "when are you due?"

30 October

OOh you're massive are you sure you're not having twins hahahahahahahaha

yes quite fucking sure

Well you're enormous

Thanks that helps

1 and 2 were the same weight exactly and 3 was 1oz heavier.

Freaky!

Mine went 1lb [ish] lighter each time
#1 8lb 7
#2 7lb 7
#3 6lb err,10

#1 - 9lb
#2 - 8.5lb

I hope my third doesn't weigh the difference between DD1 7lb 5 days early) and DD2 (8lb 9oz 6 days late), that would make DC3 over 10lb.

6lb 11oz
8lb 1oz
8lb 9oz

1 7lb 8ozs three weeks early
2 8lb 10ozs three days late
3 9lb 11ozs one day early
4 9lb 7ozs delivered by c section at 38 weeks as scan suggested he would end up over 11lbs if left to cook any longer.

My second was smaller than my first and was born 7 days later.

My dd was 7lb 8 oz (3 days early) and my ds was 6lb 11 oz (4 days late).

mine wasn't but she came earlier than no2.

dd1 - 10 days early 6lb 1/2 oz
dd2 10 days late - 9lb 7oz
dd3 1 week early - 8lb 4oz

I keep idly wondering what my theoretical 3rd baby would weigh....it does put me off a bit
DD (4 days late, but induced) 9lbs 14
DS (14 days late) 10lbs 5

hmmm
I think I'd be going for about 11

Not necessarily
DS1 was 6lb3 5wks premmie
DS2 was 9lb3
and then my 3rd
DD1 was 8lb3

Gender might also have something to do with it.

But my third was very quick and easy

Yes a bit bigger.

Ds1 was 6lbs 6oz

Ds2 was 6lbs 13oz

Dd1 was 9lbs 14oz

Dd2 was 8lbs 12oz

Interesting thread! I'm due with ds3 the day before you (29th October) and there was just oz in it between ds1 & 2.

DS1: 8lb 1oz, 8 days late, 11 1/2 hour labour
DS2: 7lb 13oz, 2 days early, 1h 29 minute labour .

I am sure ds2 would have been heavier had he been as late as ds1, but as it was, it was the easier delivery of the 2, but ds1 was back to back, which is fucking painful hurts

At a specialist scan I had at the fetal medical centre at 23 weeks, I was given a report to say baby is healthy, has a large abdomen (over 95th centile) and weighs above average. However he has a smaller than average head size, lol! Fine by me! Mind you, I don't take much stock of what I am told about my babies weights at scans as I was told ds1 was going to be 10lb+ at a 37 week growth scan

7 12 (9 days early)
9 1 (2 days late)
9 9 (9 days early)

Baby number three was much bigger than the others!

Ds1 8lb 8oz
Ds2 8lb 8oz
Dd1 7lb 5oz
Dd2 7lb

My niece had twins last year, her third pg. The babies weighed 6lb 3oz and 8lb 5oz!!!!!!!

You have got me worried now after reading this, I was told it was the other way round and they actually got smaller, absolutely sh**ing myself now as DS1 was 10lb so what have I got to expect for DC2?????!!!!!!!

nearly 9, nearly 8 and lastly 11 lbs!!

fascinating thread
