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.

[littlelara]

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.

I haven't had my 2nd... but I'm not liking the trend... I really want a bigger baby please!

#1 - DS 9pd 2oz - 56cms long - 1 week early
#2 - DD 7pd 14oz - 51cms long - 1 day late
#3 - DS 8pd 1oz - 53 cms long - 10 days early

My first was my biggest!! - although #3 would have been a good size if I had of gone over I think

[{sarah}]

Number 1 = DS, 8lb 14oz, 8 days late
Number 2 = DD, 9lb 14oz, 10 days late

[ubba82]

DD weighed 7lb 12oz 11 days overdue
DS weighed 9lb 12 days overdue

Love how we still measure babies in lb's and oz's!!!

[Willow]

DD 7lb 13oz - born 10 days post dates
DS 8lb 10oz - born 10 days post dates

DS grew a lot quicker, gained weight a LOT faster and has been a much bigger baby than DD generally. But in our case, I think it's to do with gender and genetics - his dad is a big guy too.

[MrsFabuloso]

My DD was 3.64kg and 55cm, born 37+3weeks (induced).
My DS was 4.13kg and 56cm, born 40+3 weeks (natural).

I would say that had she been born on her due date or when ready, DD would have been bigger than DS.

[Visitor8]

First was 8lb 4oz 53cm
Second was 9lbs 5oz and 55.5cm
Last was 11lbs and 55cm
