s/o - 2+ moms - were your babies of similar size?

[rootbeerfloat]

J looks like you, though

DS was 9lb 1oz at 41w2d
DD was 7lb 6oz at 39w3d

Both were c/s. Even adjusting for gestation, she was smaller. But she is the big one now!

[pupcake]

DD1 born at 41 weeks was 9 lbs 7oz
DD2 born at 39 weeks was 8 lbs 8oz

If you go by the gain a half a pound a week then they were the same size.

[Deleted]

Mine were 7lbs14oz and 8lbs1oz, both delivered at 38 weeks. My H and I were both born in the mid 7lbs range.

That said, my kids have grown very differently, both from each other and from me. I was 18lbs at one year. DS1 was 28lbs at one year, and DS2 is 22lbs at 7 months. DS2 is several inches longer and somewhat skinner than DS1 was at this age, though.

[Mrs.Syntax]

DD1 was born at 39w4d and weighed 7.0 lbs.
DD2 was born at 38w3d and weighed 7.4 lbs. (Neither were c/s)

[h]

DS1 -- 7lbs.4oz. at 39w5d
DS2 -- 6lbs.6oz. at 39w2d
DS3 -- 7lbs.1oz. at 39w

DS3 remains quite a but smaller than his brothers, percentage-wise.

[turtlegirl]

DS1 was 7lbs,13oz at 37w
DS2 was 7lbs,11oz at 37w4d

So far at all well baby checks thru 18 months they have been within half an inch and 5oz of each other. It's kinda freaky how similarly they have grown.

[elocrates]

DS1: 6 lbs 7 oz born at 37w3d
DS2: 5 lbs 10 oz born at 36w5d
DS3: 6 lbs 5 oz born at 37w0d

So, overall I'd say they were pretty consistent.

[6fsn]

DS1- 7 lbs 6 oz at 41 wks
DD- 8 lbs 4 oz at 38 wks
DS2- 9 lbs 8 oz at 39 wks

[londoncalling]

DD1 was 9 lbs 0 oz at 41w
DD2 was 7 lbs 12 oz at 41w

[bunch]

Dd1 8 5 at 39w
Dd2 6 14 at 39w

Dd2 was an inch longer. They are built totally differently.

[holly116]

DD = 40w5d, 6lbs, 15oz
DS1 = 39w1d, 8lbs, 6oz
DS2 = 39w6d, 7lb, 15oz

Zero rhyme or reason .

For reference, DH and I were each 11 days late (supposedly, I mean it's not like our moms had dating ultrasounds or anything in the late 70s/early 80s). DH was 6lb,15oz and I was 7lb,9oz

[spanikopita]

Nope. #2 was a full 2lbs smaller than #1, and only 1 day different in gestational age.

[imojoebunny]

DD1 - 5p 6oz 38 weeks (this one was SFGA and IUGR, so made to come early. We now think she is just not big)
DS - 2 7p 8 oz 40.5 weeks

[matildasun]

A was born at exactly 40 weeks and was 8lbs 15oz and 20 inches long
M was born at 39 weeks 6 days and was 7lbs 14oz and 21 inches long

[zacksbride]

Nope!
Ds1 born at 40w3d and was 8lb 12 oz
DS2 born at 39w5d and was 6lb 14oz

I carried the same with both, and belly pictures at the end look pretty similar for both, yet almost 2 pound difference!

[Deleted]

At birth.  Relatively close. (7 lbs 6 oz and 8 lbs 2 oz.)  Ever since then, not at all. DS is a huge beast.  At 6 months he weighed 22lbs, about what DD weighted at a year. 

[ilikedonuts]

7 lbs 14.6 oz at 40w2d
7 lbs 15 oz at 40w1d

So yes

ETA: 22 1/2 inches long vs. 21 inches long. But if you subtract the giant conehead DD1 had then they were about the same length as well.

[zeewifeandmama]

DD- 6 lb 15 oz 19 inches ( eta: 14 hour induction )

DS- 6 lb 9 oz 20.5 inches ( 4 hour quick m dirty vaginal birth)


They are pretty different body types now, so it's hard to compare them really.

[Deleted]

DS was 7.7 at 37 weeks, DD1 was 6.3 at 38/4 and DD2 was 8.3 at 39/3. My OB even said WHOA! when DD3 was born as he did not expect her to be that size.. She was short though so she looked really chunky

[jloww]

DD would have been .5 lbs bigger than DS had she gestated as long.  But he's a boy and she's a girl, so it's odd she would be bigger - even though second baby.

[Deleted]

DS was 7 lb 6 oz at 40 weeks
DD was 7 lb 12 oz at 40 w 3 d

No fluids or anything for either. Fairly similar growth so far, which means I won't worry if she slips between 6 and 9 months - he was 50th through 6 months, then slipped down to 10th and has been hanging there for a few years.

[KKD]

Yes, mine were pretty close. All were overdue.

DD1: 7 lbs. 8 oz. at 41w3d
DD2: 7 lbs. 4 oz. at 41w
DS: 7 lbs. 15 oz. at 40w5d

I was very surprised that DS was almost 8 lbs., especially since he was the earliest.

[dbsk8dance]

Liam was 5lbs 8 oz at 37 weeks. Also a c section. IUGR.

Evie was 7lbs 11 oz at 39 wks 1 day no c section, but I did have an Epi,

You and jenny1980 both mentioned the epi - does this have an initial effect?  I had no idea.  Just added fluids or something?  

[shell24]

DD1: 8 lbs 3 oz
DS: 7 lbs 11 oz
DD2: 8 lbs 3 oz (not a typo
Can't remember lengths, all about 20 inches I think.

My DS was about a half pound smaller but shaped SO differently. He was much leaner, and really looked a lot smaller than my DD1. My DD2 is all roly poly and thunder thighs like my DD1

Oh, DD1 was 39 weeks 1 day
DS was 39 weeks 2 days
DD2 was 41 weeks 1 day

[bugandbibs]

DD2 6 lbs 14 oz at 40w exactly
DS1 7 lbs 4 oz at 39w6d

Both were med free births with no fluids. Both kids were 20.5 inches long.

[heythere]

DD was 7 lbs 3 oz at 38 weeks 4 days
DS was 7 lbs 4 oz at 38 weeks 2 days

[meltoine]

More or less.

1: 7lb 9oz at 39weeks
2: 8lb 12oz at 40 weeks

[Willis Jackson]

Very similar.

DS: 7lb 1oz at 39w
DD: 7lb 14oz at 40w

My mom had 4 babies, all right around 8 lbs.

[cinco]

DD1: 6lbs even at 38w
DS: 7lbs 5oz at 38w
DD2: 7lbs 2oz at 39w

Same-ish?
