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.

First born at 34+ 1 spontanously.

Second induced at 38+6 but was already in early labour so probably would have arrived within a day or two regardless

First baby was a week late.
Second. Totally on predicated time.
Third. A day late.

You can't tell.
Babies work on their own time line.

Slightly jealous of all those with babies who arrived in a timely fashion.

First baby - 2 weeks late, took 3 days to be born 😬

2nd - due date. I was going to be induced that day because I was in my 40's but I went into labour spontaneously in the early hours.

Poppins2016 · 13/02/2025 00:40

1 - 41+4
2 - 41+5
3 - 41+6 (I had hoped, so badly, that I'd give birth much earlier... fate had a good laugh 🤦‍♀️🤣)

First at 37+5
Second at 38+2
