    I only have a sample size of two, but no. 2 was smaller than no. 1. Flynn (no. 1)was 3.9kg and Oliver was 3.89 - a whole 10 grams less. It was all in head size - they were the same length but Flynn's head was 2cm bigger in circumference.

    My 1st was 3lb 12oz. - but born at 32 weeks gestation
    2nd was 6lb 9oz - born 38 weeks
    3rd was 8lb 13oz - born 39 weeks 4 days

    My excuse for not having a fourth is that if I follow the trend, number 4 will be over 10 pounds and overdue!!!! Not very tempting

    My first was 6lb14oz, 20.5 inches, born at 40+1, second was 7lb10oz, 21.5inches born at 39+1, and third was 7lb8oz, 20.5 inches, born at 40+1. We're fairly steady, I guess. For me, it matches fairly closely the amount of weight I put on during pregnancy - the least with DD1, more with DD2, and slightly less than before with DD3.
    My mother had 8 babies, all around 7.5 lb. The heaviest was her fourth, which was just over 8lb.
