Hi there, I am expecting number 2 aswell but my first was 9lb 3oz so I would like to know too!!

My first was 5lb 3oz(but 2 weeks early).
My second was 7lb 3oz .

I was 10lb 4oz born,10 days over.
My younger brother was 8lb 8oz, 2 weeks early.

my first was 8lb3 and my second was 7lb11

i think its an old wives tale personally, my friends just had her 4th and the last 3 were all lighter than her first

My 1st was 8lb 7, my 2nd was 9lb 12 and my third was 10lb 4 so mine have got bigger everytime but I know a few people who's 2nd, 3rd and 4th babies have all been smaller than their 1st.

im ded nervous about having a bigger baby then my first they tend to have large heads and long bodys this one was measuring 3inches longer then average at my 14weeks scan

i hope hes about the same as my last i had difficulty getting him out but cant bare to think of anything bigger

1st was 8lb 6 (DD)
2nd was 9lb (DS)
I just hope this ones no bigger! both were born around there due date not sure if my second being a boy was the reason he was slightly bigger though xxx
