    Weight of third or subsequent baby...

    I'm after some info on the size of your babies at birth, specifically those that have had three or more. I've had two, DD was 3.83kg, followed by DS at 4.84kg. I'm wondering what the likelihood is of this next LO being bigger than DS?

    I know that generally second babies tend to be bigger than first... what about third baby?

    Am I in for a whopper here??

    So hit me with your anecdotes! What were your three or more weights?

    I think I was my mum's biggest (first of three), though I reckon my first brother would have been if he hadn't been premature. Brother 2 would be the smallest. Don't ask for exact details though, I've no clue

    I've asked doctors this and the consensus is that the second is bigger than the first, but after that it's random. Mine were:

    First - 7'12
    Second - 8'15
    Third - 9'7
    Fourth - 8 pound
