How did first child's birth weight compare to your other children?

DS#1 was 8lbs 2oz at 40w4d
DS#2 was 8lbs 6oz at 41w1d
DD was 7lbs 11oz at 39w

It seems like barring something that causes a later baby to be early (DD was a c-section due to breech and other factors), most subsequent babies are larger. My mom had 4 starting with me at 7lbs 4oz and ending with my youngest brother at 8lbs15oz with each baby being a little bigger than the last. Most of my friends have had similar experiences.

DS 7lb 7oz at 37w5d
DD 7lb 6oz at 41w1d

I'm curious to see if I continue my trend of having 7.5lb babies!

C1--7# 10.5 oz--40 weeks exactly. I had HG and was on a lot of steroids

C2--6#7 oz....41 weeks, no steroids, moderate puking

C3---7# 11 oz 40 weeks to the day, pretty good pregnancy

C4---8# at 41 weeks 4 days, mold toxic, horrible body pain and migraines.

C5----TBA...Last 5 weeks of steroids....This should be REAL fun! lol

I couldn't answer based on the poll options.

1st LO = 7#4
2nd = 9#3
3rd = 7#8

So it went both ways. My 1st and 3rd were girls. So I dunno if maybe I just grow tiny girls and big boys??? Not sure. we'll find out when we have our second son in March!

DD, my second, was almost 2 lbs heavier than my DS. She was born at almost 42 weeks and he was born at almost 41 weeks. They were 8 lbs 13 oz and 10 lbs 9 oz.
