1st Baby Late - so when did your 2nd Baby arrive?

[Beanigan]

Hi,

I'm 33 weeks pregnant with DC2. DS was 10 days late and induced (after waters went but nothing else happened). I've a funny feeling that this one may be early but I'm not sure how likely that could happen? Funny feeling doesn't equate to any medical indicators - just lots of BH's early on, very emotional, baby getting ready in the right place etc...

So for all those ladies who have had 2 or more babies - if you were late with DC1, does this mostly mean you were late with DC2?

[MeMyselfAndIt]

My first was 10 days late, 2nd i was in labour on the eve of my due date and she was born the day after early hours

[jeee]

DC1 - 13 days late, DC2 - due date, DDs 3 & 4 - 13 days late.

[detoxdiva]

Dd - 7 days late, Ds - had 2 dues dates, 7th and 9th Sept...and he arrived on the 8th!

late (sorry prob not what you wanted to hear)but dd was prob overdue, she had the wrinkley toes and fingers ds didnt

[SpeedyGonzalez]

Sheeyut. I was counting on DC 2 being 2 weeks late like DC 1. Thanks for this thread Beanigan and for the info, gals!

[Disenchanted3]

ds1- 15 days late, induction

ds2 born on due date

dd born day before due date

[Beanigan]

Lots of DC2's born around the due date - so looking positive! DS1 was way overdue as wrinkly peely flaky skin. I want this one to arrive on time, mainly as I don't want to be induced.

Thanks for your responses, keep em coming!

Almost 2 weeks late with my twins (first children) and then 1 week late with my daughter.

[TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied]

Juuule what an incubator you are! All those kids and all late!

[4andnotout]

Dd1- 5 days late

Dd2- 1 day early

Dd3- 5 days late

Dd4- 3 days early

coincindently with the exception of dd2 all the others were born on Thursdays.

[juuule]

Didn't feel like that when I m/c several times, Paninied, but it seems the ones that decided to stick around became reluctant to come out
You'd have thought the exit would have been clearly signposted for the later ones.

juuule - you must be superwoman!!!

beanigan, thanks for this thread, my dd was also late, 10 days too and I had to induced.

Am 37 weeks with number 2 and have been wondering the same thing.

I posted same question here a few days ago so am going to bump for you now as loads of responses too......

Best of luck.

[BarbieLovesKen]

sorry, its the very long winded titled one that starts "because this is my 2nd baby its going to..."

[Slovenlymummy]

DS was 7 days late, DD was 8 days late, but i'm still (foolishly?)optimistic that number 3 will be here on time...here's hoping. I'm 37 weeks and have cunning plan that if i just assume i'll be a week late then i may get a surprise! So not packing bag or getting clothes, pram ready etc (did everything super early with no.s 1&2) and hoping sod's law takes effect!

[biggirlsdontcry]

ds 3 days late
dd 4 weeks early -

[heather1980]

dd 5 days late
ds 5 days late

dc3 is still cooking so no idea

[Beanigan]

Goodness Juule, well done on all your babies! and 4andnot out - you done yet or are you going for more?

biggrilsdontcry - well that is a difference, any reason why DD was so early?

Slovenlymummy - good idea! I may follow your lead.

[2andcounting]

dd1- 10days late
dd2- 14 dyas late (induced)
BUT both dds v. long (56cm), lots of water, no wrinkly skin- so actually suspect my dates were wrong both times
dc3 has just started cooking so who knows..

[Shauri]

DS was 14 days late (induced led to em c-section)
DD was 3 days late VBAC (section was booked for the tues and she appeared on the sunday before!!)

[Shauri]

Forgot to add DC3 is cooking and measuring big already for 17weeks - hope they arrive early!

[thisisyesterday]

ds1- 2 weeks late
ds2- 1 day late
ds3- 1 week late

[BexieID]

Tom was 6 days late and Erin was 3 days early.

[SpeedyGonzalez]

Wow, juule, I'm in awe. Rofl at 'signpost'! Clearly your womb's just far too cosy - you should consider it a compliment having all those overdue babies.
