melissad2 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Of having 3 babies that are born weighing the exact same thing? My first two were both 8lbs 14oz :confused: and I am taking bets on what the 3rd one will weigh :D any takers? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I would bet that it's extremely rare! My first 2 weighed the same and were the same length. They looked enough alike that they could have been mistaken for identical twins at a passing glance. I get the feeling that dd3 will be bigger at birth.

Night Elf Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I can believe it. All 3 of my children were born at exactly 38 weeks 2 days. Weird, but true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissad2 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I had to have scheduled c-sections with both of mine and when they called back in the OR to tell me the weight of ds2 I was like :confused: are you SURE? I told them I thought they needed to check their scales they must be broken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 DS1 was 7 lbs., 6 oz., 20" long and born at 3:32 PM. DS2 was 7 lbs., 5 oz., 20" long and born at 3:34 PM. They did not look exactly alike, though. ETA: They were born 16 months apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 DD#1 and DD#3 weighed exactly the same.....8 lbs, 5 oz. DD#2 was induced about a week earlier and weighed 7 lbs, 7 oz....I dont think she would have reached 8 lbs, 5 oz even if she stayed in longer though.

Annie G Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Three of my kids were 6 pounds, 2 ounces and they were all 19 inches long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissad2 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 That's so weird that kids would be exactly the same especially in length and weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 IDK, but I gained *exactly* 28 lbs during three of my five pregnancies. Those babies weighed 7 lb 3 oz, 6 lb 3 oz, and 7 lb 9 oz. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaMinNC Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My kids have been all over the place: #1(dd) - 7lb6oz, 19.5" #2(ds) - 8lb10oz, 21.5" (these 2 were both born at 40w2days, but dd was induced) #3(ds) - 5lb15oz, 18.75" (he was technically a preemie at 36w5d) But my mom had 4 girls and #1 and #3 weighed the same, and #2 and #4 weighed the same. Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySusan Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I have 3 kids (1 girl, 2 boys) and each weighed 7lb10oz. They had different lengths. So, absolutely possible. eta: DD was 1wk late, each DS was 2 days early. Edited October 31, 2011 by miknsusn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juelle Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My first three boys were all 8lb2oz, one early, two right 'on time'. I think our bodies have a switch that gets triggered - OK, you're big enough, OUT! DD in between was 6lb13oz, 4 days 'late', so for me the switch had to do with boys.

texasmama Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My babies ranged in gestational age from 37 1/2 weeks to 39 weeks, 5 days. (I know when I conceived them so the dates were not off.) In spite of this and of having two of each gender, their weights were in the narrow range of 7 lb, 12 oz to 8 lb, 6 oz. So, there was a 10 ounce spread between all four of them. Both of my last two babies weighed 8 lb, 6 oz. Add to this that there is also a ten year spread between the first and the last baby. I think it would be an interesting research study to compare all of the variables with baby weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunD Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 1 - 9 lb, 20.5 in 2 - 8 lb 6 oz, 21 in 3 - 8 lb 6 oz, 20.5 in I fully expect any more babies to be between 8 and 9 pounds, and 20 and 21 inches long. I would be shocked if I suddenly had a 6 pound baby. 1 and 2 were both born right at 39 weeks (38 weeks 6 days, and 39 weeks 1 day). 3 was born in the 38th week, but we'll forgive him since there was a hurricane. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 While all five of mine have been 7 something, two have been the same weight and 4 of the 5 were within 4 ounces of each other. If their birth dates had landed a day or two earlier or later, I'm sure I could have had more the same weight. #1 7 lbs 5 oz #2 7 lbs 14 oz #3 7 lbs 3 oz #4 7 lbs 1 oz #5 7 lbs 5 oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Mine were 7,9; 7,7; and 7,9 respectively. I seem to crank out a standard 7 1/2 lb model :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 My first two were exactly the same. 8lbs 4 oz and 20.5 inches long. My third was 9 lbs and 21 inches long. I gained exactly the same amount of weight in each pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 My two weighed the exact same, too, at least according to the official statistics. I love numbers like this! One of my sons was born at 2:38 and another at 8:32. I thought that was neat, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
