Born bigger than your first baby?
DD was 8pds 1 (3.66kg) and born @ 41wks. and I'm 'guessing' this baby will be around 9pds.... definitely feels bigger than DD was and I've been told it's going to be around the 4kg mark (apparently :rolleyes:). What can I say? I make healthy bubbas :lol:
Just interested to hear for those who have had at least two babies, was your 2nd one bigger than your first or the other way around??
Yes, my second child was 400g heavier than my first (sorry, I don't 'do' ounces). And my third was 200g heavier than my second.
All the best for your imminent labour and birth!
2nd one was a porker :lol:
My first was and average 7lb and bit more, my second was close to 4kgs and I am a small person.
A guy at work said to me "wow, how did you do that?"
My third was back to average again.
I wonder if it was the 2kg of icecream with a bottle of that Cadbury chocolate topping a week that made DS2 a biggie :D
My second one was bigger than my first.
DD1 was 7lb8oz (3.5kg) and my second was 8lb10oz (3.8kg)...but my third was smaller at 8lb 7oz.
DD1(41wks) was 4.176kg so 9.2pounds I think. Had 3rd degree tears all on the inside. (I was told she was going to be small, yeah right.
DD2(41+2) was 3.74kg so 8.2pounds I think. Not even a graze.
Yes, quite significantly too! DS1 was 6lb 5, DS2 was 8lb 7! almost a kilo bigger!
Almost exactly the same. 7.11 for number 1 and 7.8 for number 2.
But they are different now! Number 2 is going to be the bigger one for sure!
DD1 was 7lb 5oz-3.310
DD2 was 8lb 1.5oz-3.665
=355g difference
i knew DD2 was going to be bigger, was told DD1 was going to be small, even when born they told me she would be under 7lb but she surprised them
Same! DD1 was 6lb 7oz (2.9kg) and DD2 was 8lb 6oz (3.8kg) so 900g bigger!:
DD was 8p 2oz (3.65kg) and DS was 9p1oz (4.1kg) so yep! And I was pretty much told the same as you and it turned out to be true!
I must breed healthy bubbas too :)
DS1 was 6lb 7oz - 2.9kg
DS2 was 8lb exact - 3.6kg
Interestingly I had gestational diabetes with DS1 and not DS2.
ETA I'm the firstborn and was 9lb 10oz, and my sister was only 8lb.
My second was smaller. Ds1 was 10lbs3oz and ds2 8lbs3oz, so a whole 2 pounds smaller.
true for me too.
DD was 7lb 5oz, DS was 9lb 1oz
Mine went like this:
DS - 8 pound 2.5 (but was born at 39 weeks)
Dd1 - 8 pound 11.5 (42 weeks)
Dd2 - 8 pound 10 (41+5)
dd3- 7 pound 12 (41+4)
Dd2 had the bigger head but easier to push out than her little sister. Dd1 was my longest baby which probably makes up for the weight difference.
Good luck!!!
Yep, mine kept getting bigger LOL!
DS1 was 8lb 3oz
DS2 was 8lb 13oz
DD was 9lb 5oz - I'm glad we stopped after her :lol:
Dj = 7lb15oz
Vic= 9lb 6.3oz
tore worse with dj.
Dd1 was 2.75kg at 34 weeks
Dd2 was 3.5kg at 37 weeks
Ds was 4.45kg at 39+4 weeks
So I got further and they were heavier.
Ohhh my daughter was 8 pound 1 too :)
My son was 9 pound 10 ;)
