My sibling and I were the exact same weight, I haven't had a second LO yet but it'll be interesting to see if they are similar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277659 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:00:01 +0000 Mamasig 2277659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - about 3 1/2 pounds difference.<br /> DS1 - 10 lbs 9 oz at 39+1 and I gained about 40 pounds</p> <p>DS2 - 7 lbs 2 oz at 37+5 and I gained about 30 pounds</p> <p>I had GD diagnosed with the 2nd and not the 1st. If little brother would have cooked longer , I think he would have been around 8 1/2 pounds so still smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277645 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:45:45 +0000 LAZB 2277645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained around the same for both, and they were born 6 days gestation apart weighing about half and ounce apart. So, yep, super similar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277492 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 07:54:24 +0000 bushelandapeck 2277492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 7lb 6oz and I gained 23lb<br /> DD was 6lb 15oz and I gained 27 lbs </p> <p>Both were born on their due dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277491 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 07:53:25 +0000 Pumuckl 2277491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained around 22 lbs with both<br /> DS (41+2) was 8 lbs 8 oz<br /> DD (38+4) was 7 lbs 11 oz</p> <p>She was 2.75 inches shorter though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277408 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 06:47:13 +0000 yin 2277408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 15lbs both times with GD.

I gained 23 lbs with LO2 and he was 7 lb 14 oz. born 2 and 3 days before their due dates, respectively. I thought LO2 was going to be much bigger based on how I felt, but I guess that's just a second baby sitting lower ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277251 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 21:32:28 +0000 kodybear 2277251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 28lb w dd and she was 6lb7oz (37w5d).

I gained 35 lbs. Alice was 5 lb 15 oz and Blake was 4 lb 15 oz (at 38 weeks). They were estimated to be much larger, so we were a little surprised by their small size! We also expected Blake to be larger than Alice, but he was very long and very skinny, so I guess he just tricked the machines with his measurements! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-2-kids#post-2277212 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 21:02:30 +0000 travelgirl1 2277212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, very different.
