How many days in the difference between when your first and second labours started?

[MammaCici]

My first baby came on his due date. 40+0.
My midwife said that gestations are usually about the same give or take a day or two.

I'm wondering what other mums experiences are with second babies. Were they born around the same point of the pregnancy or was there a week or two (or more) in the difference?

My mum arrives to take care of DS when I'll be 37+5. I just hope I make it that far as my other childcare options are far from ideal. We don't have family close by and both my friends that I've asked agreed but their situations are far from ideal (one has a special needs child, the other has 3 kids with another on the way) so I really don't want to depend or impose on them.

So, were your pregnancies about the same length?

39+4
41

38+1
40+1

Both three days late

ds1 37+1
ds2 33+3

Your title and body of your thread are different answers for me!

Labour started with DD1 at 40+4 and with DD2 at 41+1.

But if you go by when they were born, it's two days apart. At 41 and 41+2.

DD1 39+4 6lb15
DD2 36+5 6lb9

DS1 40 + 2 (although pains started 40+0)
DS2 42 + 2

First 2 days late, second, 1 day early, third 15 days early, but my waters went and I was induced so maybe that doesn't count

Dc1 10 days early.
Dc2 7 days late!
