Birth trend

Hey ladies!

Just wondering if there was a trend with your births.

My DS was born at 37+6 (36+6 by my dates) and am hoping wondering if DD will arrive at a similar gestation.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

DS1 39 weeks
DS2 39+5

Both arrived bang on time by my dates.

DS1 38 weeks
DS2 40+2

Was convinced DS2 would be early like his brother, he was obviously much too comfy!

williaminajetfighter · 07/11/2013 03:38

Dd1. 38+4
Dd2. Due date today and nothing!!

Scoobyblue · 07/11/2013 09:13

Dd1 born on due date, ds2 born 10 days late.

rockybalboa · 07/11/2013 09:17

DS1 40+11 (induced)
DS2 40+4
DS3 39+6

So no, no trend here!

Possiblyorange · 07/11/2013 09:50

Friend of mine had first at 36+1, second was 42 weeks and induced. She was horrified!

I've had c-sections so mine are very punctual Grin

okthen · 07/11/2013 11:23

Dc1- induced at 41 +3, 16 hour labour
Dc2- spontaneous labour at 39 weeks, 4.5 hours from start to finish.

So, completely different! But I believe second babies TEND to come earlier and quicker.

princesscupcakemummyb · 10/11/2013 17:11

(dd1) 40+5

(dd2) 41 weeks exactly

(my lil boy just recently nearly 1 week old now was born at 40+2)

carcassonne · 10/11/2013 17:23

DD: 37+4
DS: 40
I was convinced DS was coming from about 36 wks & drove myself potty!

crazykat · 10/11/2013 17:24

Dd1 38+3 on a Saturday
Ds1 38+4 on a Sunday
Dd2 40+6 on a Monday
Ds2 induced at 39 weeks on a Tuesday

Only trend I have is in the days they were born.

1&4 are boys, 2&3 are girls, so my girls are punctual and my boys were extra comfy (and me extra uncomfy).
