What was the size of your second bub compared to first bub?

[Ginger]

hello, was just wondering how people's second baby compared in size to their first? were they bigger or smaller? by much? does sex make a difference?

A little bit smaller!
7lb8oz and 51cm vs 7lb2oz and 49cm.

They both weighed exactly the same, 2.9kg, although Jordie was 2 weeks early and Beth was born on her edd

[Tinks]

1st was 7lb 4
2nd 6lb 15
3rd 6lb 10

[Antheia]

#1 was 9lb 7oz, 50cms, girl.
#2 was 9lb, 55cms, boy.

[Arimeh]

#1 - boy - 8 pounds 2.5 oz - 54cm long
#2 - girl - 8 pounds 11.5 oz - 53cm long (I ate a HEAP of chocolate when pregnant with her though )

Both girls were born on their due dates and weighed 8lb 7oz, they were both 52cm long too!! DS was 2 1/2 weeks early and was 50cm and 8lb 3oz so I think he would've been bigger than the girls.

[visitor1]

#1 was 7lb 4oz, 48cm and girl
#2 was 7lb 13oz, 52cm and girl

So only 200gm and 4 cm difference

[youngmumof3]

ds1= 9lb 7 1/2 oz 51 cms long
ds2= 7lb 14 oz 49 cms long
dd= 7lb 4 oz 48 cms long

1. DD1 - 7lb 5oz, 50cm, hc 34.3cm, Born 41+1
2. DD2 - 8lb 9oz, 50cm, hc 34.5cm, Born 41
3. DS - 8lb 7.5oz, 52cm, hc 36cm, Born 39+5

[Nelle]

Both boys, born a couple of days before 40 weeks, #1 was 9 pound 4, and #2 was 7 pound 9. They look very different though, obviously got a variety of genes we're passing on!

I think , as Trill says, it's just luck luck luck...

[MantaRay]

DS2 was exactly 1 pound lighter than DS1. But he was 3 1/2 weeks early, so most likely he'd have been bigger had he stayed put a bit longer.

[alioops]

DD1 was 3580g - 7lb 13.5oz 52 cm
DD2 was 3350g - 7lb 6oz (i think) and 52 cm. I had gastro at 38 weeks and she has had issues with lactose her whole life, so she got much skinnier before she got fatter, and now she is heavier than Sarah was at her age. There is only a couple of kg between them now.

Hi,

#1 DS 8lb 13oz, 51cm. Born 41.1 weeks
#2 DS 10lb 11oz, 55cm. Born on due date

32 weeks pg with #3, having sizing scan at 34 weeks.... so we will see.

[BellyBelly]

There you go, the poll is showing 50% bigger or 50% same or smaller!

[CathyS]

My first baby (Yasmin) weighed 3020gm (6lb 11) and 51cm long
My 2nd baby (Ronan) weighed 3050gm (6lb 11) and 51.25cm long

Both were born at 40 weeks (well my daughter a few days earlier as she was breech - elective caesarean, son was natural delivery on his due date).

New partner....(who was bigger at birth than first husband)
1st baby (Laura)....weighed 4020 (8lb 12!) born a few days before her due date (elective caesarean, breech again!)

This one????

[Ambah]

DS was 8lb 7oz (3.8kg), 53cm, born 5 days early.
DD was 8lb 7oz (3.8kg), 52.5cm, born 3 days early.

I was shocked that they were exactly the same TBH! When Eva was born I was like 'Oooh, she's so much smaller than Aidyn was!', But nope she wasn't at all!
