Was your second child heavier or lighter than your first?

Question

I'm pregnant with my second child, I'm not sure if my daughter will be bigger or smaller then my son was (9pds 15oz.) If you have 2 or more kids what was your babies birth weight situations? ☺️

Answer

They were 5oz difference so super close in size!

Answer

I have good sized babies too! Lol
My son was 9#11 oz and 21 inches
Then my daughter was 10 lbs. even and 22 inches. 
In my case, yes but I only have the two. They were both born exactly at 41+1. Not sure if we’ll have a third but I was almost 11 lbs myself and larger babies run in my family 😅

Answer

First baby was 7 lbs 14 oz at 37 weeks + 2 days and second baby was 9 lbs even at 37 weeks + 4 days. Both girls.

Answer

1st - 7lbs 9oz
2nd - 8lbs 13oz
3rd - still cooking but appears to be 1 week behind in growth. So, probably will be smaller than baby 2, but no guarantees lol.

3rd - 7lbs6oz

Answer

40+1  7lbs 10oz boy
40+2  7lbs 15oz boy
40+1  7lbs 6oz girl
I was really curious what baby girl would weigh as babies are more likely to be heavier the more you have. But I always felt she was smaller. I think too girls are generally a few oz lighter than boys. 
I asked my midwife if she could tell how big each one would be. Her response was in her experience mom is usually the most accurate estimator. In my case this was totally true. I guessed my babies weight within 3oz each time before delivery.
