My friend keeps scarying me that ur second baby is always much bigger than ur first... My first was 7lb 13 oz and 21 in, and I'm not that big 5'3 and pre pregnancy 118lb...I hope this baby is not like 9 lb because the pushing part will be hard! does any one know is sheis right?

Oh and apparently bigger babies are easier to push out ive heard?

No.idea. they did tell me with my last pregnancy that sugar will make my baby big as I had gestational diabetes. So I cut out sugar and white carbs on dieticians advice and my daughter was only 6lb 6 and a half oz so dunno. Willprobably stick to the same diet this time for my babies health and mine but I'm not sure if second babies are bigger. Id like to find out though x

You can't go by that. People are telling me the same thing, too. My first baby was 7lb 11oz and 20in. I gained 44 pounds with that pregnancy. Doctor even said once or twice he may be a big baby. But a baby at that size is normal. I'm 37 weeks now and have gained 1 pound so everyone is telling me that the baby will be almost 10 pounds. My sister-in-law has had 3 kids.. Her first one was 5.5.. second one was 6.2 and 3rd was 6.3.... I have an older brother who was 8 pounds.. I was 5.5. I'm also 5'2'' so I feel the pain! Lol
