Early, late or on time? What was it in comparison to your first?

(Third was 3 weeks early but that was an induction).

DC2 7 days late
DC3 3 days early

GlowWine · 14/01/2019 21:37

Both spot on 40 by my calculations, but by the medical scan dates I probably went over by 5 with the first and 7 with the second (sorry can't remember precisely), my midwife was getting quite twitchy, and I KNEW it was just fine...

pinkpanther84 · 14/01/2019 21:38

1st- 38 + 4
2nd- 40 + 5

Both went into labour naturally, was convinced the 2nd would also be early but they can be so different!

gt84 · 14/01/2019 21:43

First 39+2
Second 39+3

MillieMoodle · 14/01/2019 21:47

First 40+12 (induced)
Second 40+10 (natural)

DoneLikeAKipper · 14/01/2019 21:51

First 40 + 10

Second - waters went at 38+ 5 (PROM), was induced 24 hours later and he was born 39 weeks exactly (and heavier than my eldest, he'd have easily been a 9 pounder+ if he'd gone over!).

crispsahoy · 14/01/2019 21:55

1st 36+6 c-section due to pre-eclampsia & breech
2nd 40 natural
3rd 40+1 natural

marvellousnightforamooncup · 14/01/2019 22:01

1st due date.
2nd 40+11

StarJumpsandaHalf · 14/01/2019 22:02

First a week early and second a week late 482g heavier, both DDs.

Crunchymum · 14/01/2019 22:10

1st: 40+9 (labour started on 40+6 Shock)
2nd: 40+1 (spontaneous)
3rd: 38w (induction)

LadyRochfordsFlayedGusset · 14/01/2019 22:12
  • meant to say my two were both spontaneous labours but ended in emergency C-sects.
WhenTheDragonsCame · 14/01/2019 22:18

1st was 34 weeks planned c section due to pre-eclampsia
2nd and 3rd were both 40+6 (3 days of slow labour with both!)

PhilomenaButterfly · 14/01/2019 22:30

Both 38 weeks.

thebigmaniswatching · 14/01/2019 22:31

1st was 40+11
2nd 40+8

Both spontaneous, was booked for induction with first

MrsDeanWinchester75 · 14/01/2019 22:35

Both 39+5 and both started with a first contraction waking me at 5.30am, I was almost tempted to have a 3rd just to see if this was how my body liked to evict them.

barkinatthemoon · 14/01/2019 23:12

dd1 born on due date (went into labour 2 days before though, emcs)

dd2 born 2 days early (went into labour the day before my elcs date, so another emcs)... probably would have been another due date baby if I'd decided to endure another 60+ hour labour 😂
