Re: One twin measuring smaller than other??

my baby A was always larger then baby b. just before delivery they measured them again and they measured larger then they were. baby A was 3.7 baby B was 2.6. now, and for the past 1.5 years (they are 2) baby B is larger then baby A. baby B is calm cool and collected and loves to eat. baby A could care less about food, is crazy active, and an inch taller. point being, it will all work out :)

Baby B was always bigger than Baby A.

They were born at 38 weeks...
A was 6lbs and 18" and B was 8lbs4oz and 20".
They are fraternal, so it's just normal for them. If they were identical, I'd be oncerned if one was measuring that much bigger (2lbs and 2") since they'd share a placenta.

Exactly this. They were 1 lb apart at birth. At 1 year old, they are 5 lbs apart and 1.5 inches apart.

Baby A always measured larger then Baby B, but it was not by much. Then at around 28 weeks A was growing more then B was. I had to be induced because B was not getting enough inside and A was born 3 lbs heavier then B at 35 weeks. A is still 2 inches taller then A and heavier and they are identical.

They always measured B as bigger, but she was actually a half lb smaller. I know she stayed B in birth order b/c A was head down and b was curled up in my upper abdomen so they would have taken A first.

B was always smaller than A. They did get concerned around 34 weeks because the percentage was becoming larger. So they took the girls that week.

When my twins were born my son (baby a) was 3.10 lbs. and my daughter (baby b) was 2.3 lbs. so he had a good lead on her. (Their weights were so low because they were born at 30 wks.)
