How many weeks did you have your second baby, compared to first?

If you went into spontaneous labour with your first, when did they come and then when did your second come? My first came at 38+5 and I went into labour naturally with him, I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and just curious when others had their second compared to first.

Planned section at 41+6 as no sign of her beginning to make her way out (crap positioning, too).

Spontaneous with a membrane sweep earlier in the day at 41+5 as I was around 4cm for the second.
