Is it true that your second baby is bigger that your first?

Question

why i ask is because my first baby was 8pound 3 and i had to have a c-section because she was breech and to big to turn, i would love to have a natural birth this time but am a bit worried that he/she wont fit as i think am on the small side down there. i would be so disappointed if i went all the way through a long and painful labor just to get another c-section, could someone please advise.

Answer 1

It is not true my first was 8/9 and my second was 7/3

Answer 2

It was true for my mom! My older sister was 8lbs and I was 9lbs 5 oz.  I really hope its not true for me! My little guy was 7lbs even.  I dont mind bigger but not TOO much!!

Answer 3

Answer 4

I was the biggest and i was the first. My two sisters were both smaller so no it's not always true.

Answer 5

haha. It was that way for me. My first son weighed 7 lbs 4 oz. and my second son was 8 lbs exactly both were a week early. My sister went through a long and painful delivery with her first son because he too was breach and she had to have a c-section after 16 hours of labor. Honestly, It doesn't matter how you have the baby just as long as he/she is safe. Every delivery is different and this one my go smoother for you. I would advise a lot of s*x now and until the baby is born and the male's s***n will help soften the cervix and keep it softened allowing the baby's head to fit better and allow the cervix to stretch. Just an option. It worked for me. and my doctor advise it also. But talk to your doctor.  

Answer 6

Not necessarily...my 1st was 6lbs 3oz, 2nd was 4lbs and 3rd was 5lbs 2oz.

Answer 7

I dont think that is true i think it just depends. My first was 7lb10oz my second 9lb15oz and my third was 8lbs 9oz.

Answer 8

i can be true, but nothing is written in stone that it will be. just by chance.
