    And you can't just assume based on belly size alone (which is what they are all going on I bet) because there are too many variables, like fluid amount, looser stomach muscles not holding it in as well and just plain old 'because'

    Ds was 3500g
    DD was 3495g
    DD2 was 3500g

    so all about the same... I thought it was normal to have them all the same size but as I can see witht he poll maybe not...

    Now I understand when I had DD2 why midwife commented on how I have all average size bubs...


    Sorry I have no idea what this is in "old scale " but I think they are all about 8lb so I get nice fat bubs just wish they would stay that way both girls were Fail to thrive they looked ok to me!

    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.

    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.

    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????

    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!
