Is Your Second Child Always Bigger Than Your First?

Question

Just Curious About What Effects Babies Birth Weight!

Answer 1

I'm the youngest of five and I was 6 pounds exactly. The biggest was about 9 and that was the first, so I guess it's different for everyone.

Answer 2

genetics mainly, but in most cases moms bodies are better at growing babies the second time around.

However its not always the case that the next baby is larger.

My friend has always had 9-10 pound babies, but her 3rd was 7 pounds.

Answer 3

i was the 2nd child from my mother. My older brother was 9 pounds and something and i was only 3 pounds 14 1/2 oz. but i was also a preme. I was 3 months premature.

Answer 4

Both of my babies weighed the exact same at birth(7pounds7ounces), and there was a half inch difference in their length. They were 5 1/2 years apart.

Answer 5

Not always. All babies and pregnancies are different, thats what makes us all unique. In my case they did get bigger. #1 7lbs 11 oz, #2 8lbs, #3 8lbs 3oz. But they all grow different too.

Answer 6

I think it's a combination of factors, diet, age of baby, perhaps age of mother. The first of my three kids was the largest and the last was the smallest.

Answer 7

My first was 9lb 8oz, 22 inches, 2nd was 7lb 3oz, 19 inches, 3rd was 7lb 6oz 19 1/2 inches

Answer 8

My sister in my mothers 2nd child and I am bigger than she is, so the answer to that is no.

Answer 9

nope my first and second were both 6 pounds 9 oz

Answer 10

probley due to the first leaves excess fat in the body till the 2nd one is prouduced with more precentra thats when twins are born they lookalike becuz they at the same time and they is nothing in the body to change its apperance.
