Was your second (or third or more) baby larger than your first?

Question

So I'm curious. I had a large baby the first time around. He surprised literally every staff member by weighing in at a 9lb, 5oz boy (surprised because I'm 5'6" and 120lbs not pregnant). I'm expecting number 2 and have heard subsequent babies tend to be larger and I'm a little worried my next one will be like 30lbs (kidding, but not). What was your experience?

Answer

My oldest was 8lbs 2oz. My youngest was 7lbs 8oz but would have weighed around the same as my oldest had he not came a week early.

Answer

First was 6 lbs 12 oz, second was 7.5 lbs, third was 6 lbs 5 oz.

Answer

Im currently pregnant with my 4th. My 1st was 9.5 2nd was 8.5 & 3rd was 7.5 🙂

Answer

My son (1st) 7lbs 10oz. 
My daughter. (2nd) 8lbs 2oz. 
Baby #3 is still inside but is currently measuring 3 weeks ahead so I'm being sent for a growth ultrasound and honestly, I just feel like he's going to be massive. 
I gained 60lbs with my son and only 20-25 so far during this pregnancy and I'm getting new stretch marks from how big my stomach is getting. I can just feel how massive he is. My stomach literally sticks out like a shelf. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

My first was 5lbs 8oz, 2nd was 7lbs and my youngest was 6lbs 2oz. I'm only 5 foot and 120 not pregnant.

Answer

First was a boy and he weighed 8lbs 2oz. My second was a girl and weighed 7lbs 3oz but with her I was induced 2wks early if that makes a difference and with my son I was induced day after due date

Answer

I’m a rather small person and both of my girls were on the large side. I’m 5’2” and was 100lbs before my first and she was 8lbs 8oz. My second I was 110 and she was 9lbs 12 oz. I’m terrified of how big a third could theoretically be.

Answer

Mine were about the same. My first was 6 lbs 15 oz and my second was 6 lbs 12.5 oz. I’m petite (4’ 11”) so neither baby was super large.

Answer

all girls for me. first was 8 lbs 12 oz second was 8 lbs 9 oz and on third now.
