Were you more uncomfortable with the bigger baby. I am almost 39 weeks and super comfy. DS was 9 lbs and this is measuring big also. I often wonder if I would more more comfy if the baby were smaller. Not to one up people but if I only had a 6 lb baby would I feel better the last weeks. I mean my 1st was almost a full 3 lbs heavier than some of my friends babies.

    DD#1 was 7lbs 3oz and 19 1/2 inches and DD#2 was 8lbs and 21 inches. I never would've guessed that DD#2 was going to be so much bigger and she was delivered a week before DD#1 was. I gained weight differently with the second and felt good the whole time. I never swelled and wore size small the whole time. With the first pregnancy, I swelled by 20 weeks and it only got worse and gained a lot of weight. I would say over all, I was more uncomfortable with DD#1(smaller) then DD#2. (bigger)

    Both of my babies were about the same size, but I measured 5 weeks ahead with #2 and "only" 3 weeks ahead with #1.  I was way more uncomfortable with my second.

    DS was 9lbs 5oz born 2 weeks early.

    DD was 9lbs 3oz born 1 weeks early.

    DS was 7 lbs 9 oz and DD was 8 lbs 9 oz.  I actually gained less with DD than I did with DS.  As you know, you have to keep up with your 1st LO...  That being said, I was fine during my entire pregnancy, both times and was at the pool at DS's swim lessons the day I had DD...  So, I don't know if I'd had a smaller baby it'd have been easier or not...

    Zachary was 7lbs, 10oz and Ashton was 6lbs 2oz. I was way more comfortable throughout my entire pregnancy the first time. I had all kinds of aches and pains with Ashton, especially towards the end. Ashton's delivery was much easier though! :)
