My second was 7lb 15oz so huge difference! I hope my third is in between the other two. </p> <p>My mom actually had smaller babies. My oldest sister was almost 10 lbs, middle was 8+ lbs and I was just about 7. </p> <p>I would guess you make small babies but maybe this one will break 5.5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-each-of-your-babies-get-bigger-at-birth#post-2532464 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 16:43:59 +0000 QBbride 2532464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my second was smaller. </p> <p>LO1 - 6 lbs 15 oz, 49cm<br /> LO2 - 6 lbs 7 oz, 48cm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-each-of-your-babies-get-bigger-at-birth#post-2532453 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 16:31:29 +0000 birdofafeather 2532453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same gestational age, second was 7 oz lighter and 1.5 inches longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-each-of-your-babies-get-bigger-at-birth#post-2532030 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 09:46:27 +0000 Mama Bird 2532030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

We will find out in December. You guys are giving me hope though. DD was only 1/2 an ounce away from being 9 lbs.

We're a two, maybe 3 family, and I'm nervous that I'd have a similarly large 3rd baby. But, my mom says that her 3rd labor was by far the easiest, no tearing despite bad tearing and an episiotomy with her first two labors. She also says that pregnancy was her easiest, she gained the least weight, and recovered very quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-each-of-your-babies-get-bigger-at-birth#post-2531135 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:45:27 +0000 cascademom 2531135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smaller.<br /> DS #1: 7 lbs. 6oz<br /> DS #2: 7 lbs even.
