My GP told me that your second baby is usually bigger than your first, so I just wanted to know what other mums have had...

Was your second baby bigger at birth than your first?

My second baby was nearly a pound smaller than my first. My third was nearly 9 lbs though :eek:

Yep - DS was 750gms heavier than DD...he was bigger all over!

His head was 4cms bigger, and he was nearly 5cms longer too!

#1 was 8lb 4oz (3740g) 50cms long, HC 35.5cms born right on 40 weeks
#2 was 9lb 5oz (4230g) 54.5cms long, HC 36cms born at 10 days over EDD.

so while yes my second was bigger and longer the length made it not so scary as she was quite petite.

Elora was 9lb13 and Natalia was 9lb2. So my second was smaller. They were both exaclty the same lenght and head circ but Natalia'a labour was only 1h 44min compared to Eloras which was 12 hours. Elora was soooo fat and swollen which is why she was heavier i guess.

blessedmummy
28-08-2007, 12:38
yup! dd2 was 9lb! :eek:

~Emmylou~
28-08-2007, 12:54
I think I'd probably say mine were the same.

There was about 1/2 pound difference in their weights at birth, but the heavier one cooked for two weeks longer. He also had a bigger head but again, probably because I was pregnant longer with him.

My first was 5 days late and weighed 8lb 10oz

The 2nd I was told was a massive baby so they induced me 2 days early she was 7lb 10oz (so not big at all)

twolittlegirls
28-08-2007, 21:47
DD1 was 7pd 15oz
DD2 was 8pd 6oz

The doctor predicted that DD2 would be 8pd 6oz, he did a pretty good job at guessing!!

28-08-2007, 22:03
My DS's head was 35cm......cant get much bigger than that

Ummmm. Oscar's head was 38cms. So yes they can get much bigger than that. :)

reAllytee
29-08-2007, 11:23
It is usually a case of the second baby being bigger but not always !

Boof was basically 10lb with 38cm H/C.
Squeak was 8lb something sorry cant think atm with a 35cm H/C.

canberramomma
29-08-2007, 11:30
My 'birth babies' have gotten smaller. DD was 4.72kg, DS 4.37kg, DD 3.79kg. Maybe next time bubba will be small enough for a natural birth as the others all got 'stuck'.

My first was 8lb 4 and I got a horrible third degree tear my second bub was 9lb 5 and had a bigger head and I didn't tear at all so bigger doesn't mean worse damage at all!

mumx3littlies
29-08-2007, 12:30
Yep our 2nd was bigger than 1st.

#1 7lb2.5oz born at 38 weeks
#2 7lb4oz born at 40.2 weeks

Really looking at when they were born I guess #1 wud have been much bigger than #2 had he gone to the same gestation.

Mellymoo
30-08-2007, 13:55
Yep, DD#1 was only 6lb and was a c-section. DD#2 was 9lb, 10oz and a natural birth (ouch !!):thumbsup:

No my 2nd was smaller.

1st was 3.665kg at 41 weeks.
2nd ws 1.990kg at 37 weeks. (but my placenta wasnt working properly thats why DS wasnt growing)

by 1 oz!! Any my first was 5 weeks prem - so go figure. I also got told my third was about the same size and he was a pound bigger (all in his 'boof' head I reckon!!)

(sorry I can't recall it in grams, too many numbers to remember!!):laughing:

Oh BaDaBing, my pain level was much less with 2 & 3 (but first was induced)

Grief subimum, if he was 8 feet 11 inches I dunno how he fit in there in the first place!!! (sorry:rolleyes: )

melfunction
31-08-2007, 06:14
Nope.

Kaiden was born at 40+1 and weighed 3.8 kg.
Lincoln was born at exactly 40 weeks and weighed 3.2 kg.
Pain level I can't really rate. They both bought tears to my eyes.

31-08-2007, 15:30
My DD was born at 40+1 weighing 4165g.
DS was born at 39 weeks weighing 4105g.

So pretty much the same, although if DS was born a week later he probably would have been a bit bigger! :eek:

DS1 was 3020 grams (6lb 13ozs), 47.5 cm long and HC of 35 cms. We had a single umbilical artery.
DS2 was 4305 grams (9lb 8ozs), 52 cms long and HC of 36 cms.
I believe if DS1 hadn't had the issue with the umbilical cord he would have been a similar size.:rolleyes:

DS 39weeks was 4.010kg
DD 39weeks was 3.935kg

Very similar

Lemonhead
27-11-2010, 00:19
Nope.

DS1 was 8 pound 8 oz and DS2 was 7 pound 13 ounces. DS1 was born 8 days overdue however while DS2 was an elective c/s at 39+2 so I think if he got to the same gestation he would have been similar weight.

bunkx
27-11-2010, 00:31
Dd2 was about 300 grams bigger

DD was 2lb 12oz (1240grams) born at 29+5 weeks

DS was 8lb 8oz (3850grams) born at 39+5 weeks

Doctor said with DD if she was born full term should should have been about 7-8lb. I dont think so.

My dating scan for DS at 29+5 weeks had him approx weighing 1.8kgs.

Wow ... I forgot about this thread!

DD2 was born weighing 9lb 8oz at 39 weeks, so we managed to keep her weight down. Unfortunately, she was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and passed away after 9 days and 4 open heart surgeries. She will have been three this coming January ...

MagicalLeopluradon

BabelFish

Gosh no! Significantly smaller. In fact, I've sneezed harder than it took to push him out. Just a couple of little coughs and bingo - the midwife had to jump up to catch him! :laughing:

DD, on the other hand, was huge and got stuck and was delivered via forceps, tearing my cervix and doing all sorts of other bad stuff.

So ...

DD 9lb, 38.5cm head, born three days overdue (induced)
DS 7lb 2oz, 35cm head, born two days early (spontaneous).

The Girls Only Club
12-03-2011, 20:36
DD1 was 8 pound 8 at 9 days overdue.
DD2 was 9 pound at 2 days overdue.I was induced as the doctors were worried if we left her baking she would have got even bigger.
DD3 was my smallest at 7 pound 10 after midwife told me she would be at least a 9 pound baby.

Yes. No.2 baked for an extra 12 days, passive smoke was eliminated in my second pregnancy, and I actively tried to consume more calories in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy. There was nearly 1kg difference between my two and they are the same gender.

I only have 1 child but was quiet interested in this, as if I ever do have another...but now I will stick with just 1 as my first was 8'11", and he tore me to shreads, I couldnt think of having a bigger one...arrgghhh

I'm hearing you! My ds1 was 8pound 6. Big for a person my size. I had a long tedious 33hr labour, failed suction and finally a forcep delivery after a second attempt and had an episotomy. So when I was pregnant with ds2 I was worried about a repeat and Dr monitored bubs growth and i was induced 2 weeks early. Bub would have been at least as big, if not bigger than the first had I gone fullterm. Ds2 was out with 2 pushes and a short easy 6hr labour. :D

Ds was 9 pound 1 and DD (the second baby) was 8 pound 1. They told me based on the first one being so big to expect a 10 pounder :eek: Boy were they wrong lol

i think it all depends on the person and baby. dd1 38wks 7lb11oz 47cm, dd2 39wks 10lb9oz 52.5cm, dd3 37.5wks 7lb7oz 47cm. baby #4 due in 3 weeks and after scans 2 weeks ago, we think about 8lb. no reasons for dd2 to be so big, i suspect gestational diabetes as i failed first test, but passed seccond, but other than that, she was just a big girl.
