Hey ladies

Wondered if anyones second came early than the first? My first was born on her due date how every i went into labour 3 days before.
I have been getting very strong BH for the last 2 weeks and have IU along with dhiarhea (sorry...) and feeling sick.
I have had the 'odd' real contraction and been in hospital on the monitor but nothing started. Just wondered what you all thought of my chances of going into labour earlier than 40 weeks....babys head has been down since 27 weeks! Had several scans due to complications (current scan photo total = 35!!)
I am currently 32 weeks......and feeling tired and worn out not sure how i will be in another 8 weeks!!

Hope i've not waffled on!

Thanks

SavannahRose

Hi Savannah

My first also arrived on her due date, but second was 3 days late. Sorry you're not feeling great.

First came on her due date. Second came 10 days late.

First was 12 days late (assisted on drip, as my waters broke and labour fizzled out).
Second was 2 days early (also assisted but I argued for/got pessary as my waters broke AGAIN and labour fizzled out...). The experience was much better the 2nd time!

Conversely, my friend has just had her 2nd: her first came 2 weeks before his due date, 2nd arrived ON her due date.

I never had BH, but it does sound like you won't be overdue... sorry it's been a difficult pregnancy, hope all goes well.
