Stm's - birth weights?

PeonyPumps · December 2012

What were your LO's birh weights? I'm somewhat surprised because DD was four days "older" gestationally when she was born this week than DS was when he was born, yet she weighed almost a full pound less than he did when he was born. She is teeny and after losing about 7% of her weight in the hospital, even the newborn clothing is just swimming on her!

DD was born at 40w1d and was 7lbs12oz. DS was born at 40w1d as well, and was 7lbs9oz. My kids are nothing if not consistent!

My LO was born at 39 weeks 5 days and weighed 8lbs. My other 3 boys were born between 38 and 40 weeks and all weighed between 7lbs 3oz and 7lbs5oz. My firstborn was the teensiest at 39w 5days 6lbs 11oz.

DS was 41w 1d and 7lbs 8oz 21". DD was 40w 4d and 9lbs 1oz 20". So she was 4 days 'sooner', an inch shorter and about a pound and a half heavier! Def a surprise. She's now 3.5 weeks old and in size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes.

My sons both weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. even though DS#1 was born 16 days earlier than DS#2.

DS was born 40w 2d and weighed 7lbs 13oz, DD was born 39w 4d and weighed 6lbs 14oz. I was also surprised that she was a lb smaller and actually, 2 full inches shorter.

DS was born at 39w2d and was 8lbs 8oz. DD was born at 40w3d and was 8lbs 7oz

DS was 8lbs 2oz at 40w5d. This LO was 8lbs 8oz at 37w4d.

First - 8lbs 3oz (at 37wk5d)

Second - 8lbs 9oz (at 38wk)

Third - 8lbs 9oz (at 37wk4d)

Fourth - 8lbs 10oz (at 37wk1d)

So, yea, they come early and are big babies for their age, with my three week early baby being the biggest. I shudder to think what they would have weighed had I made it to 40 weeks.

Congrats on your daughter.

bearkatjen · December 2012

I was induced at 38 weeks and 2 days for pre-e with DS1, and he was 5 lbs 9 oz and 18.5 in. DS2 came on his own at 38 weeks and 3 days (no pg complications), and was 6 lbs 5 oz and 18.75 in.

Similar situation here.

DS was born at 38 wks 1 day -- 8lbs, 9oz

DD was born at 38 wks 2 days -- 7lbs, 14 oz

I'm just figuring DS is going to be big like his daddy (6'3" tall and very broad-shouldered), while DD is going to be closer to my size (5'3" and medium-framed). I'm glad it's this way and not the other way around (little boy and big girl) though!

DD number 1 was 8lbs even at 41 weeks

DS number 2 was 9lbs 4ozs at 40w1d!!

abkrause · December 2012

I also was surprised! My first DD was 39 weeks and 5 days and weighed in at 8 lb 2 oz.

DS was 40 weeks and 3 days and weighed in at 6 lb 6 oz. He was already up to 8 lb 4 oz at his 2 week check up though.

Your little girl looks great, chubby cheeks and hands, great pink color, and content.

Little man was born at 38 w 6 d according to conception date; he was 6lb 12oz. DD was born at 39w 3 d according to LMP, and she was 7 lb 2 oz.

So, my 2nd was 6 oz lighter than my first, and they were probably just days apart in gestational age. Everyone comments on how robust and healthy he looks, even though he's not a big baby. He also is a very calm baby.

You probably don't have anything to worry about! Plus, since the little one showed up, DD just seems like a giant in comparison. The contrast is a little deceiving.

DD1 was born 39w 5d at 9lbs 6oz

DD2 was born 39w 5d at 8lbs 11oz

my kids are nothing if not consistant lmao.

Crazy! We have had the same experience. LO #2 was born gestationally 2 days older, and a second boy (which everyone said would make him bigger), and he was 10 oz smaller than my first boy!

He was actually covered in vernix and only 7 lb 2 oz, and my midwives told me they think he looks to be much more like a 38/39 weeker than a 40+3er. My first was 7 lb 12 oz, at 40+1 and almost NO vernix.

Sorta wild!

Even crazier though is that my first gained weight crazy fast, but not even as fast as this little guy. He's over 10 lb already - 3 lb in 3 weeks, and he weighs what his brother did at 3 weeks, so he totally caught up ALREADY. Like you, I was surprised how all the NB stuff swallowed him up, but he's in 3 month stuff now.

Enjoy your babymooning

DS #1 - 8 lbs 12 oz at 41 weeks

DS #2 - 8 lbs 10 oz at 40 weeks (I'm happy that he didn't wait until 41 weeks like his brother. Who knows how big he would have been.)
