Subsequent baby weights?

[Linnett3]

Hi ladies, this is mostly aimed at ladies with 2 or more babies. Have your baby weights got bigger ? Both of mine were born at exactly 41 weeks, my first (DD) weighed 7.7lbs & my second (DS) weighed 9.10lbs & now pregnant withmy third. I’m not massively worried about having another big baby. I can probably deal with 10lbs but the idea of a 12lber for instance is a little scary lol. I’m just curious to see if others got bigger. The pushing part for DDS was imensly fast compared to my daughter so that was a plus but I did lose a lot of blood after him which was probably due to his size. Welcoming all other “big baby”experiences

First was 7.12 - 11 days overdue and second 5 days overdue and 8 pounds exactly. My sister had two boys and they weighed the same! And the second was late and first was early. I don’t think it always is the case that they increase and not always by as much as your first two so hopefully won’t be too big for you. Also from what people say I think boys tend to weigh more than girls... xxx

Thanks ladies. I’m having a GTT test this time as they had no idea my son would be as big as he was so they’ve said it’s quite possible I could have had unconfirmed gestational diabetes so I am being monitored this time. They’ve said if this ones big I may need to be induced but I’d like to avoid that if possible as I always feel your forcing the body/baby to do something it’s not ready for yet so ideally I’d still like him/her to come naturally but it’d be nice if it also wasn’t a stone baby lol
