DD1 7lb 12oz
DS1 7lb 1 oz (smaller) DS2 7lb 14 oz DD2 tiny & DS3 9lb. #5 was est 7lb 14oz at 36 weeks. I did the GD diet as a precaution (not taking the test), I lost 5kg and his growth did slow from the massive rate it was but the u/s doc did say he had the fattest tummy of any baby he'd seen in utero lol. Without the GD diet (whether or not I did have GD, he was still getting a little less sugar anyway) he would have been well over 9lb. All the others had head circ of 32-35. #5 head was 37.5 so no, mine didn't get bigger as #2 was smaller, but after that for my term babies they did get bigger  so yes and no from me

DS 8lb12oz (3.96kg) 51.5cm 40+2
DD 8lb 14oz (4.02kg) 52cm 40+9 I would say that if DD had come earlier, around the same gestation that DS was born at, they would have been very close in size. This post has been edited by HART85: 30/01/2012, 11:34 AM |
