babies get bigger with each pregnancy?

[daizydoo]

#1 was 7lb 6oz
#2 was 8lbs
#3 was 10lbs 13oz
dh would like #4 but I am a little concerned about the size. I actually gained the most with #1.

1st born at 36 wks 7 lbs 14 oz - 20 1/2 "
2nd born at 40 weeks 8 lbs 12 ozs - 22 1/2"
3rd born at 38 weeks 8 lbs 15.5 ozs - 21 1/2"

I'll know #4 sometime in July!

P.S. The first 2 have the same father from my first marriage and #3 and #4 have the same father from my current DH. I am sure it all has to do with my body and not my DH's since the fathers are constructed completely different.

Mine were 6.15, 7.8, and 8.3. But, that being said, #1 was a week early, #2 right on time, #3 a week late. According to the 1/2oz a day at the end weight gain, they'd all be the same if born on their exact dd.

#1 5 days early, 6lbs 11oz

#2 on edd, 6lbs 11oz

#3 2 weeks overdue(blood tests from beginning confirm this). 6lbs 5oz. There were cord issues/decelerations for at least 4 weeks with her.

Mine were

DS 1 9lbs 7 oz 22 in 41w6d cmae the day before I was to be induced
DD 1 8lbs 4 oz 20 in 39w4d induced since I had a big baby before.
DS 2 8lbs 19.5in 38w4d if he went to term I know he would of been at least 9lb
I was 2ww over due and I was almost 10lbs. But I am tall 5'11 and have "german birthing hips" as SH says.. so I carry them well and so far no complications and all have been under 6 hours.

for her
#1- 5.14
#2- 8.7
#3- 7.6
#4 (me lol) - 5.1

for me it did but not drastic

#1- 6.7 (4 weeks early)
#2- 7.3 (4 weeks early)
#3-7.4 (2 weeks early)

had the first two not been a month early i don't think that would've been the case though

Hmm
most of you have had bigger babies if not a mix...smaller, larger. smaller. My concern is that I don't think my uterus is going to hold a bigger baby in! I go preterm each time. my, my...I like them small, lol. I just about crushed ds head between my legs if it weren't for the nurse fighting to hold my leg open, lol. I wouldn't say it hurt but, the very uncomfortable

[ocean_o_curls]

[kezoo]

My first (a boy, 4 days late) was 8lbs 5oz, my second (a girl, 2 days late) was 7lbs 12oz...
