Stealing this from the pregnancy forum. A poll is easier to read!

For accuracy let's compare children of similar gestation (it would throw off the poll to compare a premature and full term baby).

I'm not really sure I checked the boxes right, the choices kind of confused me (but it's early and I haven't had much coffee yet).\

My twins were 4lbs 1oz & 4lbs 8oz. (35 weeks, 5 days)

Rivka was 7lbs 10oz, 39 weeks + 3 days

Avraham Tzvi was 8lbs 13oz, 40 + 2

I picked yes within half a pound. DD was 7p11oz and DS was 8p4oz. So if I did my math right
thy were 9oz (1/2pd 1oz) difference.

My children were the exact same weight when they were born, to the ounce.

Both were 7lbs 3oz

James was 2 days late, Aldria was just under a week early.

I voted Yes, and sort of.

DS1 was 36 weeks 5 days and he weight 7 lbs 9 oz
DS2 was 39 weeks and 8lbs 13 ozs. Over a lb heavier
BUT
DS3 was 8lbs 10 oz,
and
DS4 was 8lbs 3 oz.

SO. DS1 & 4 were close, and DS2 & 3 were close, and 3 and 4 were less and a lb different.

Confused yet?

3 baby boys and three different weights, altlhough my first and third were the closest especially if difference in gestational age is factored in.

#1 - 8lbs 4oz at 38w 1d
#2 - 6lbs 3oz at 38w
#3 - 9lbs 9oz at 39w 6d

To answer my own question.

dc1 was ~37.5 weeks 6lbs 13oz
dc2 was ~37.5 weeks 7lbs 3 oz

I imagine if dd had stayed in a week longer she would have been about the same weight as ds had been.

Whoops. Meant to click "some were the same, some weren't" but accidentally clicked "within a pound" by mistake.

DD1 was 7 lbs 8oz (on the MW's fish scale, which could be an ounce or two off.) DD2 and DS were both around 9 lbs (DD2 9 lbs even on the MW's fish scale, DS 8.14 on the hospital scale, 2 hours old.)
