s/o did anybody have an avg size first baby and then an

[iamali]

You don't want a 14 lb newborn?

[looseseal]

Well, a friend's second baby was nearly 10 lb after a normal sized first baby. But that seems to be an anomaly from women I've talked with. Normally what I hear is second baby is fairly in line with the first in weight.

[polka]

lol!

My first was 6 lb. 14 oz.

My second was 7 lb. 2 oz.

[EmilieMadison]

Who's to know? LOL!
I'm the oldest of 5 and all of us were between 7 and 8 lbs, except the 4th one who was over 10 lbs!

My first was 6lbs but was 5 weeks early and 2nd was 8 lbs and 2 weeks early.

That would probably stop me from having #5

[meggers5]

My brother and sister were 8 and 9, then I was 11.

My cousin's first was 7 and her second was 10.

I'm sure this is reassuring

[revolution]

my second was 2 1/2 lbs bigger than the first.

#1 - 6.5 lbs
#2 - 9 lbs (or just shy of it)

Not abnormally large, but still a good bit bigger.

[eddy]

Jack 6 lbs 12 oz

Leo 5 lbs 10 oz (born at 36 weeks so maybe he would have been bigger than Jack if allowed to cook longer.)

[daisybuchannan]

Ugh I hope not.

C was 6 lbs and my belly was out of control.

[lilybug]

You never know. #1 was 8lb13oz. Everyone told me to expect a 9+ pounder the next time. #2 was 6lb15oz.

BUT, I was 7 something and my sister was nearly 9. It's more common for the second baby to be bigger, but not by a ton. Exceptions to every rule, blah, blah

[flex]

#1: 7 lbs. 14 oz.
#2: 9 lbs. 9 oz.
#3: 8 lbs. 9 oz.

1st DD was 7.12. 21/5- 12 hrs of labor and 1hr of pushing - 18 stitches - born at 40 weeks 

2nd DD was 7.6. 19/5- 6 hrs of labor and 9min of pushing - no stitches - born at 40 weeks 

I was 7.11.21
My bro was 8.4. 22

Hopefully you don't end up with a giant

[iamgrace]

Henry- 7 lbs 8oz
Clare -7lbs 6oz

[overture]

Above 8 lbs is a big baby? What're you, chicken?

DD was 9lbs2oz. I fear for my vagina if the next one is bigger.

[Alyssa]

Baby Girl was 7lbs 4oz, 20.5"

Baby Boy was 7lbs 10 oz, 21"




I myself gained about the same with each pregnancy

[quietlyloud]

all mine have been right around the same size.

dd was 7lbs 12oz
ds 1 was 9lbs 2oz
ds 2 was 8lbs 6oz
ds 3 was 8lbs 3oz

we'll see how big ds 4 is in april. i have a feeling he's gonna be on the bigger end.

[vanillacourage]

DS1 was 7 lbs 14 oz at 39.5 weeks.

DS2 was 9 lbs 5 oz at 41w (though they finally agreed with me when he was born that I was probably an add'l week overdue.  They moved my due date at a first u/s, but I knew better of when we'd likely conceived)

[MixedBerryJam]

My first was 2 weeks late and 8#7 and my second was approximately punctual and 7#13.

[Deleted]

O was over a pound larger, but my ob thinks that I was borderline on the whole gd thing.

[Alyssa]

The second time around was so much easier for me.

With Katie....over 2 hours of pushing, I could barely get her to crown. They vacuumed her out and it was a bad recovery. Connor came out like he was on a slip n slide. 2 hours vs 13 minutes.

Well truthfully I'm not sure my vagina would even notice if it spit out an 11 lb-er, the way it feels right now, but I'd rather not risk it. lol. I can't believe Nama and I had the same degree of tearing.

Oh man.  </3

On the bright side, I think there is generally less trauma the second time around.

[dbsk8dance]

#1- 5lbs 8 oz 20.5 in at 37 weeks
#2- 7lbs 11oz 20.5 in at 39 1

[cinco]

My babies got progressively bigger, but still in your acceptable range. 6lbs, 7lbs 2oz, 7lbs 5oz. The 6lber had the biggest head though and caused the worst tearing.

[housewife]

DS was 7.8 at 38 weeks
DD (2nd kid) was 6.10 at 40 weeks

[Deleted]

Dd was 1/2 lb less than ds, at exactly one week less gestation. So weight wise my babies were set to be identical. My Ob says a woman generally has all similarly sized babies.

[WOT?*]

My first was 6lb.15 at 37 weeks. The next were on or around their due dates and 8.13, 9.3 and 9.10 respectively. I got my tubes tied after the 9.10 because I could see where it was headed.

[cc]

All three of mine were within an ounce of each other, right under 8lbs. With each one, the doctors kept telling me how they were going to weigh 9 or 10lbs. They lied to me.

[kristie]

I am scared of her being bigger, but it is a silly concern because I know for most the second time around is much easier even when the baby is bigger.

Hm.

I am liking SOME of these answers. lol

You and me both. My OB already warned me that boys tend to be bigger than girls. I am not excited for labor.
