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 was 37+2
Second was 40+6

Both natural home births so no induction. They just came when they were ready.

DD 1 39+2
DD 2 38+0

both spontaneous labours waters had to be broken after labour started.

Both 40 weeks.

Dd1 - 39 + 3
Ds - 38 + 4
Dd2 - 36+6 (but she was induced as I wasn’t well).

First child exactly 1 week over due date, second child 2 days before due date.

Samandytimlucypeterolivia · 18/07/2025 22:53

DS - 5 days early
DD (youngest) - 6 days late

Are you worried @eachpeachpea? I'm in similar boat and I am! DC1 was 37+6, I'm now nearly 37 weeks again... Terrified of induction and praying it happens spontaneously again!!

TheGriffle · 19/07/2025 08:13

40+11 for dc1
Induced early at 38+1 with dd2 as my waters went but labour didn’t start on its own.

RedHillLady · 20/07/2025 17:08

DC1 born on due date.
Dc2.Waters broke late on due date, born next day.

K1P1K1 · 20/07/2025 17:14

DC1 was 4 days early, DC2 was 4 days late. I was lucky enough that they were both spontaneous labours, although they both shot out at quite a pace which did smart a bit. DC1's quick birth made me a bit nervy in case DC2 was quicker. As it happened it was a bit quicker, but I knew more that time around and the midwifes on the phone then in the hospital took me seriously so I felt I had more time.

Good luck op! x

40+10 with both
