Beth,

I always wondered about the " size " thing myself. I think the general

medical wisdom, even for " normal " uteri is that 2nd and later babies

tend to be bigger, as the uterine muscles have been stretched once

and have more " give " etc. That *kind of* seemed true for me. My

third PG was in the right uterus (same side as my first PG) and my

third son was trending to be the biggest of the three, he was 6 lbs.

8 oz. at 37 weeks, while the others were 6 lbs. 12 oz and 6 lbs 4 oz

at 40 weeks +. Of course there could be other factors involved, I'd

be curious if you have any wisdom to pass on about this. Take care,

Lia
