On average babies usually get bigger as you have more, but not always.
My DD1 was 7lb 5oz, my DD2 was 8lb 9oz & my DS was 8lb 7.5oz.
So my 3rd was slightly lighter than my first (all have the same dad, but I don't think that'd come into it too much)
It is likely that your 3rd will be a bit heavier, but it shouldn't be a problem
Hmmm. Well my third was my smallest - but it was also the first to DH.
1: 8lb 5oz
2: 9lb 4oz
3: 6lb
4: 8lb 4oz
5: 8lb 5oz
So yes to the seconds from same dad being bigger - but my third was far and away my smallest - althoough that may be meaningless as I suffered from HG the worst with my 3rd and even I lost weight hand over fist.
Ok, so really, I am not being any help at all. Sorry
A friend of mine has two boys to the same dad and the weight was almost indentical. I think the 2nd was slightly less but he was weighed after a poo and the first one was weighed before any poos.
My second looks to be bigger, at my scan it was measuring a week a head where as my dd measursed on time. But DD's head measured 2wks a head and this one's head was only the week a head. So it's hard to be sure yet as the scans were also done at different wks of preg.
