I was told that usually the 2nd/3rd baby always weighs more......is this true?

Dd was 7lb 13
DS was 8lb 3
DS was 8lb 4
I'm now pregnant with a girl so I'm now wondering if she's likely to be a 8lb der too.

Ds1 over 12lbs
Ds2 9lb 15

I drank caffeine the second time, maybe that's why!

All DSs,all born ELCS at 39/40..your theory is true in my case but I don't think it always works that way

DD1 at 39+4 - 6lb 14
DD2 at 36+5 - 6lb 9, so would have been bigger than DD1 at term...

I needn't have worried about handling a tiny little newborn the first time around that's for sure!

DS1 (39 weeks) = 8lb 4oz
DS2 (39 + 1) = 8lb 3oz
DS3 (39 + 3) = 7lb 13oz

Mine hadn't read the rules about the increasing weight of subsequent babies Grin
