big baby 2nd time around?

So,just wondering, especially those who had a boy if their baby was bigger than the first one? My first was a boy who came 2 weeks late and was neary 9lb, or 8lb12oz....so am worried if this one is a boy it will be a monster as my first labour was quite horrific, he got stuck etc...what's your experiences 2nd time round and did u carry as long as first ie full term, overdue, early etc...

Just as above I have 2 diff baby daddies and both boys one was 9lbs even, the next 8lbs4oz. I can't go off this pregnancy to see if baby daddy 2 would have made the 2nd pregnancy (on his part) have a bigger baby bc there are 2 growing in my belly but I've always been told your first is the smallest and they only get bigger from there
