Just curious. DD was a bit under 7 lb a week late. I think my bump is a reasonably similar size so far but only 30 weeks.

Lots of early babies!!

Most so far seem to be reasonably similar... Within a lb or so. I just wondered how likely it was I might pop out a 10lb-er!

My first was 10lb2, nice to see they don't always get bigger and this one won't necessarily weigh a stone! Confused

Whopping 2lb difference here!

DD (1st baby) 7.4lb 7 days early
DS 9.4lb 5 days early

I did measure big throughout my second pregnancy though. Went for extra scans and was sure they must have had it wrong as I'm pretty small as is DH but low and behold out came a 9.4lb chunk Shock

I went for nearly 3lb difference!

DC1 7lb 15oz (39 w)
DC2 10lb 13oz (41 w)
DC3 9lb (39 w)

It was pretty obvious that DC2 was going to be enormous as my bump was! I was very glad I didn't get to 41 weeks with DC3
