If you went to 42weeks the first time, did you go overdue the 2nd+ time?

[claire002]

Hello - just wondering whether there was any kind of relationship? I was induced at 42 weeks last time (after possibly the longest 2 weeks of my life!), and I'm wondering if that means I should expect to be twiddling my thumbs again this June. (although I'm never ever ever going to be induced again no matter what!)
Cheers
Claire

no

DS1 - 42 weeks
DS2 - 4 days late
DS3 - on due date

[LadyOfWaffle]

I did, 40+ 11 first time (induced) and 40+ 13 second time (booked for induction, started after a sweep)

[barbiehouse]

induced 3 times - 10d over, 10d over and 12d over. all labours were very quick, but the first was by far the worst.

good luck!

[Lilyloo]

40+8 first time (induced)
4 days early second time
42 third time (induced)

I was the same as you but my second induction was exactly same labour as number 2 (spontaneous) bar the one lot of gel!!

[wideratthehips]

both my babies were 10 days over, but no 2 arrived after being induced.

baby no3 is going to be induced on my due date cause no2 was soo big and i'm very greatful to have the option.

[thisisyesterday]

i was 42 weeks by my dates with ds1 (only 41 by theirs)
ds2 was just a day late

[Pollyanna]

I have had 5 babies, no 2 was born on her due date, but I went to 41-3 weeks with the rest.

[Tummum]

Both my DDs were 11 days over due date.

Good luck !

[hazeyjane]

dd1 10 days over
dd2 14 days over

[juuule]

9 babies.

Induced for the first at 13 days over. I said I would never be induced again, too)
All the rest were overdue, too. The 'earliest' being 2 days past due date. The rest closer to a week.

Last baby induced at 14days late.
That induction no different to spontaneous labours. So try not to worry too much about another induction.

Ds 3 weeks overdue on my dates. Placenta was failing and amniotic fluid all gone. iNduced then. Tried everything - castor oil, curry, hot sex, jumping up and down... no so much as a Braxton Hicks.

Dd induced at my insistence after 13 days after due date. Placenta covered in infarctions.

Both babies enormous, well over 8 pounds,a nd deffo postmature. They are now hard to get out of bed...

NB: I myself had to be induced after my mother's waters broke and labour stopped. Genes?

[Olissa]

First was induction at 42+1 ending in emCS.
Second was spontaneous labour and VBAC at 42+4. Placenta/fluid fine in both cases. The waiting is horrible, isn't it? But have am resigned to the fact that when I have another it'll be the same, and am planning to not tell anyone the supposed 'due' date!
Good luck

[MmeLindt]

I was induced at 42 weeks with DD then waters broke at 39 weeks with DS.

Good luck.

[CarGirl]

overdue all 4 times!

[Northernlurker]

dd1 42+1 (induced)
dd2 41 weeks
dd3 41+1 weeks

[pushchair]

All three 2 weeks over.

[duchesse]

number 1- 40+10
number 2- 40+11
number 3- 40+13

[geogteach]

All 3 8-12 days overdue, all born night before induction booked for.

[Northernlurker]

All born the night before induction....did you think of getting them to book the induction for term? That would have scared them out earlier!

[lal07]

ds1 42 weeks and induced, dd 38 weeks but also induced (waters broke but labour didn't start). 2nd time induction totally different - much easier and all in all positive experience. Good luck.

[KristinaM]

40+17 induced, very relctantly. diodnt go well

second time held out til 40+19. went in ( again reluctantly) to be induced and consultant insisted recommended CS

[Hassled]

All 4 of mine have gone 41+. Two went to 42.

[KristinaM]

ruby - are you serious about lacking a hormone? i always wondered as i also

-never got any stretch marks
-never had one braxton hicks
-never had any after pains, even when bf
-never had that euphoria thing after the birth

i always wondered if there was a link to never going into labour spontaneously
