My first was a lil boy at 10 lb 10oz a week early. No gestational diabetes. My second was a girl 8lb 4oz a week early also. No diabetes as well. I was told the same thing after my son that the next one would be bigger  I don't think it always happens that way thank goodness! I'm 21 weeks now with #3 will be interesting to see what she weighs.

My oldest was 6 lb 10 oz & my second born was 7 lbs. Not always the case that they'll be way bigger.

Not necessarily. My granny had 3, my dad being the first and he was 12 lbs even. He was the biggest. My aunt was the last amd the smallest. My uncle was right in between.
