If you went into labour naturally more than once, how did the timing compare?

[YankNCock]

With DS1, I went into labour at 39+4, so I was kind of hoping this time around it would be similar (or even earlier).

39+4 today, and nothing is happening. I'm very sure of my dates for each pregnancy, so don't think that's the reason. I know all pregnancies are different, and even different for the same woman, and I've no business being annoyed because I'm not even overdue yet!

So please indulge and distract me, how big a variation did you have if you went into labour naturally 2 or more times?

Ds1 10 days late
Ds2 10 days early
Dd 3 days early

:)

First induced past EDD, then spontaneous at 39+6 and 40+9

Wonder what it will turn out to be this time? Currently 37+3

DD1 40+3
DS1 40+14, the day I was due to be induced!

Two spontaneous labours, at 38.5 and 39.0 ems.
Both 7 hrs to emcs

Ds1 on time ds2 4 days late

DS1 due date.
DS2 4 days early.
DD due date.

Dd 39+6
Ds 40

But completely different labours

DS1 - EMCS.
DD1- VBAC at 40 + 6.
DS2 - VBAC at 38 + 7 (though really he was 4 weeks late)

I went into labour at 9.30pm with both VBACs. 24 hours later DD was born. DS was born 12 3/4 hours later.

Dd1 16days early
Ds1 9days late
Dd2 2days early
Dd3 12days late
Ds2 7days late

Ds1 39 weeks
Dd 37+2
Ds2 39+2 and still waiting, It is my sisters wedding in 13 days so hope we're not waiting too long!

DD1 two days early (would have been three days but she took bloody ages, vile ventouse in the end); DD2 16 days early, v straightforward home birth.

38+4
39+4
39ish

All four of mine were spontanious labours.

Ds - 35 weeks
Dd1 - 39+5
Dd2 - 40+1 (went into labour on my due date)
Dd3 - 40+3

My pregnancies are getting longer each time, lol.

DD 40+4
DS 39+4

Both were exactly the same; 40 + 6, but to be fair, my due date was brought forward by 4 days at the dating scan of DC2.

I have a short cycle (c. 25 days) so if that should have happened for DC1 and they didn't bother, the labours were really 40 +10 and 40 +6. I think... I am getting a little confused.

+14
+3
+13

DD1 40 +10 (while in hospital waiting for induction to be started!)
DD2 40 bang on her due date

With DD1 labour started round 2am, with DD2 labour started round 5am. Both born just after 9am.

I had two spontaneous labours (and one induction at 40+10) They were both overdue - 40+8 and 40+11, but both started up at 1.30am

+6
+6
-too many weeks

• 10-14 days

DD1 four days early
DD2 on her due date
DS1 6 days late

DD1 37+3
DD2 Due date

ds 41 weeks
dd 38 plus 5

3 pregnancies, each time baby came on the Wednesday before their due date

There's not really a pattern, is there..... Though seems to be quite a few who went later with subsequent pregnancies? Guess I will take that as a sign to be prepared to wait a while longer. Scheduled for induction two weeks from tomorrow if he doesn't show up--and it's my bloody birthday that day!
