Basically the same. Both tiny. I am a small person (5'2 and 110 lb) and I gained 30 lb each time...with tiny babies.

LO1 was 5 lb 5 oz and 17.5 inches

LO2 was 5 lb 6 oz and 19 inches (diagnosed IUGR before birth). But he's grown at a much faster pace /filled out to his length.

LO2 was shorter and is now in a smaller percentile but both of them were exactly the same weight at birth. LO2 was a week later, though, so she would have been a little smaller born at the same time. I gained about the same amount both times (35-40lb).

LO1 was 8lb,12oz
LO2 was 7lb,12oz

I had trouble putting and keeping on weight with both pregnancies. With my first I lost 15lbs in the first trimester, and when I delivered I was only 4lbs above my pre pregnancy weight (so 19lbs total).

With my second I put on 16lbs.

I don't think dieting=smaller babies. My midwives always told me the baby will take whatever nutrients they need from the mother and her diet is for her.

Close to the same birth weight.

Dd1 was 8 lbs 1.7 oz. I gained 27 lbs.
dd2 was 8 lbs 5.8 oz. I gained 40 lbs.

I had lost weight before the second pregnancy so delivered at exactly the same weight. Both were born right on time.

Mine were close in size. I gained 30 lbs with my first and she was 7 lbs. I gained 18 with my second and she was 7lbs 7oz.

They were both average size (around 7lbs) and I gained nearly 50 lbs woth both of them which is insane to me. But i didn't have trouble losing it so I figure, that's just how my body makes babies.

My first was a preemie, and I only gained 7 pounds mostly because I skipped the third trimester, but if he had made it to term he would have been bigger than his nine pound little sister with whom I gained forty pounds.

I gained exactly 40lbs both times. Ds1 was 8 lbs even and DS2 was 8 lbs 10oz.

I gained the same amount both times (around 22lbs) and my LO2 was smaller than LO1. She was nearly 3 weeks earlier though (41+2 vs. 38+4). She was about a lbs less than her brother who was a good 2.75 inches longer! I had totally different babies (they are still totally different today at 13 and 34m).
