I had a good experience the 1st time. Early on I assumed this baby would be big too so I just thought it would be best. Well, I have GD this time and have had a lot more monitoring to track his growth. He does seem smaller but I'm ok with not having a vaginal delivery. I know what to expect with a c section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-baby-2-bigger#post-1615572 Tue, 06 May 2014 09:06:59 +0000 HLK208 1615572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second was shorter by two inches but heavier by 6 oz.

Docs were never concerned with weight with my first but got on my case with my second. I had to go in 2x a week for ultrasounds, and baby was healthy, just smaller than they would like. Docs also wanted to induce me at 39, but I made my case for waiting until 40 as long as all ultrasounds were good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-baby-2-bigger#post-1615133 Tue, 06 May 2014 06:01:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1615133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did your second (or third or eleventh) measure up (literally) to your first?</p> <p>If you wouldn't mind noting gestation as well. </p>
