No. In fact they will weigh slightly less when hatching. The weight loss is due to loss of moisture from the porous egg shell for 21 days during development. This weight loss can be reduced with proper relative humidity in the incubator. The lower the humidity surrounding the developing egg the greater the mortality rate of the embryo.
