Was your 2nd bigger or smaller?

xtencornfield

I know this has been asked before but I need something to help me down, LOL. At our NT scan, #2 was already measuring 1 week ahead (and we have accurate dates, we went through IF treatments). DS was 10 lbs and measured on track the whole time. I'm kind of freaking out about this. Was your second larger than your first? If so/if not, did they measure ahead during your pg?

The crazy thing is that I've actually lost weight so far this pg...but I realize that mom's weight gain really has little to do with baby's birth weight. As my midwife said, I obviously make big babies:oP

DD1- 8lbs 7oz  at 39w2d (ultrasounds always showed her as measuring for her due date, but my belly measured small)

DD2- 7lbs 15oz at 38w4d (she always measured smaller by ultrasounds and my belly measured larger --- they went by lmp date, so I'm sure she was earlier than 38w4d)

My boys were very close to the same size.

Brady, born at 40w0d was 8 pounds even

Nolan, born at 39w2d was 7 pounds 12 ounces.

With Brady I always measured 2 weeks ahead and with Nolan I pretty much always measured on track.

Good luck!

#1-10lbs

#2 7lbs 14oz

I had the same experience-DS was 10lbs, and I measured on time (even behind a few weeks) throughout. Even ultrasound had his birth weight at 7lbs.

DD I was measuring 3 weeks ahead most of the time, and they told me at 37 weeks she would be over 9lbs at birth.

I gained 30lbs with #1, 20 with #2 and ate worse during my 2nd pregnancy. lol.

DD 40weeks 4 days- 7lbs 12oz

DS 40weeks- 8lbs 14oz

I figure DS was bigger because my body had perfected feeding a baby. LOL  He is still a big boy.  He weighs the same as DD.

DS#1 6lb 6oz 37weeks growth was on target woth ultrasound

DS#2 6lb 10oz 35weeks growth was 3 weeks ahead on the ultrasound

I had gestation diabetes with both.  DS#1 gained 25lb and DS#2 I gained 19lbs.

10 oz bigger

DS was 8/5 (41w6d)

DD was 8/15 (41w5d). 

I never heard anything about weight estimates based on the u/s though.

As early as you are, measuring ahead doesn't mean that much.  I measured several weeks ahead with DD2 until about 35 weeks.  At 8 lbs flat at birth, she was bigger than DD1 (who was only 6lbs7oz), but not huge by any means.

I gained a little less with DS than DD; both always measured on track.

DD was 7 lb 13 oz

DS was 8 lb 11 oz

sweetpea2003

DD - 5 pounds 1 ounce (born at 35w4d)

DS - 9 pounds 11 ounces (born at 39w4d)

HUGE difference. 

DS is just a big boy.  He weighs more at 5 months than my DD weighed at 1 year.  They are/were both EBF so it is just who they are.  DD is petite, DS is a chunk .

DS (LO#1)   7 lbs., 13 oz. (10 days late)

DD (LO#2)   8 lbs. 11 oz.  (6 days early)

Not meant to scare you... don't read too much into estimated weights! They tried telling me at 34weeks (after given shots to stop contractions) that DS was measuring over 9lbs. 36weeks they told me he was too big for the monitor and was over 12lbs. Luckily this was not true. Unfortunately I had a c-section second time around when I probably would have been fine with a vaginal birth, but the doctors scared me so much.

DD was 8lbs 14oz (I gained about 60lbs)

DS was 9lbs 15oz (I only gained 20lbs)

Bigger. But DS1 was two weeks early and DS2 was three days "late."

They were 6 lbs 3 oz and 7 lbs 10 oz, respectively.
