If you had your first baby at 37 weeks...

[PutneyBridge]

What gestation did you have your subsequent baby/ies at?

Almost 37 weeks again and struggling to get my head around the possibility of potentially 5 more weeks of pregnancy!

Thanks!

First 37
Second 37+2

37 + 4 for 1st

38 + 4 for 2nd

41 + 6 for 3rd 😩

First 37 weeks 9 lb 9!
2nd and third, twins, 35 weeks 7 and 6lbs!

1st-37 weeks
2nd-39 weeks

Was expecting 2nd to be the same so I felt overdue for those 2 weeks!

I had my first at 37+2 then my second at 39+3 the wait second time round seemed so long and my second had a few issues as a baby compared to my first

37+5, 36+3, 37+5

37+4 then 41+1

Which was lovely as I got a couple of extra weeks at home with DC1 on mat leave.

First baby born at 34 weeks, second baby born at 39+1

37+4 with my first

My first was born at 36+4, spontaneous labour
My second was a day early but I'd had a sweep and I'm fairly convinced she would of stayed put otherwise
My third was on due date but I was induced on the day, I was however already 1cm when they inserted the gel so she would of been not far off due date left naturally

37+4, then 41 weeks.

I spent the four weeks past 37 weeks walking around feeling like I was overdue. It was extremely frustrating!

37+2 with my first
37+3 with my second

First one : 37+3
Second one : on due date. (Felt like 2 weeks late!)

37+2 and 39+5. Longest 2+ weeks ever. I was convinced she'd come early like her brother.

37 weeks no 1
Day after due date no 2

36.1 with 1st
35.4 with 2nd
39.5 with 3rd

I felt very overdue with my 3rd

37 weeks #1
41 weeks #2

Both inductions due to preeclampsia.

I got pretty cross with dc2 as I felt 'overdue' at 37/38 weeks as I was so sure they would arrive as early as dc1. I was wrong. Dc2 arrived bang on 40 weeks (and even the due to being induced).

Dd: 37+3
Ds: pre term labour at 32 weeks. Steroids for lungs given, the lot. They managed to stop it and he arrived at 38 weeks. Every minute after 37 weeks felt like a decade. Especially as I’d had the flaming painful steroids!
