Early, late or on time? do you follow any pattern?

[fatbottomgirl]

So I am 36+3 with DC4 and clutching at straws. I wondered what everyone experience's were and if you followed any pattern?

I have been 40+5 with all the other 3, so has this been fluke or is this on going to be the same?

[nicolamumof3]

DS1 41+1
DS2 39+4
DS3 40+6

am now 38+3 with DC4 myself and hoping for some time soon tbh!

[NorthLondonDoulas]

everyone is different..... baby 1, i was 42+1, baby 2, i was 39 +5, 3&4 i was induced.

My best friend was 29+4, then 38, then 40+3

My mum was 40, then 38+2, then 41+6

Wow, cant believe you were so bang on with all 3, i have to say i have not heard of it being so exact before! lol.x

[MrsRhettButler]

I hope there is no pattern, I was 40+9 with dd and I want to be earlier with this one, I'm only 31 weeks right now so I'm watching with interest

[fatbottomgirl]

I am really trying to tell myself that my real due is the 6th August and not to expect anything else . Its nice to see that some people follow no pattern. Their is hope.

DS1 - two weeks late

DS2 - 4 weeks early!

[Lollyheart]

Not for me.

Dc1 40+2
Dc2 38
Dc3 38+6

I'm really hoping dc4 stays put until at least 40 weeks, were going on holiday when I'm 37 weeks

Ds2 - 35 +6

[MamaLaMoo]

My mum had all 4 of us at 38 weeks, waters broke then contractions all over 8lbs and my first was 38 weeks on the dot, waters broke first 8 lbs 2oz, second is due in August.

Just need sister to get pregnant now to confirm the trend.

[thisisyesterday]

no pattern at all for me

ds1- 42 weeks
ds2- 40+1
ds3- 40+6

[blossominlondon]

My only pattern seems to be to go well over the due date!
(all spontaneous, never induced)
DD 40+4
DS 41+1
DC3 40+?
Now pregnant of baby nr 3 and 40 weeks today. Wished there wasn't this pattern though, want to give birth sooner rather than later!

[wobblyweeble82]

DS - 39+5
DD - 39+5

Both had due date of 20th May, both born on 18th May!

[startail]

40-6
40-3

[startail]

I always think of them in terms of days early but I should have put
39+1 (or 39 exactly I got given different dates on different occasions)
39+4

[babyonbord]

ds1 36 weeks
this time i'm 39 and still pregnant grrr

[spookshowangel]

ummmmm
40
40 -2
39 -6
cooking 4th as we speak due in feb so we shall have to see if it stays around the due date like the others.

[Fresh01]

40+1
40+4
39

no.4 currently at 16 weeks but think 39-40 weeks would be good for me : ) It is due 23rd Dec and I don't want to miss Christmas Day with the other 3......

[Sewmuchtodo]

DC1 36+6 induction
DC2 36+6 natural labour

I have to say at 29+5 with DC3 I would be happy with the 37wk mark!!!
