STM+: Babies' weights

ChristyML · February 2013

Just taking a fun little poll. What were your children's weights when they were born? I'm wondering if the rule is true that your first is always your lightest and that the more you have, the heavier they get.

DD1 weighed 7lb 4oz, but the thing is, she was born at 36 weeks.

DD2 was born at 39w1d and weighed 7lb 9oz

Was your DD1 really that early or did they miscalculate your due date?

I had 2 early ultrasounds, so honestly I don't think it was a miscalculation I just think she was on the bigger side. And FWIW, my water broke spontaneously.
