Overdue with baby one, when did baby two arrive?

[Vijac]

I'm hanging in there now at 39 weeks. My first was 11 days late, wondering if my second is likely to be similar. What was your experience?

DD - 7 days late
DS - 14 days late

Hope its not the case for you! DS was 10lbs, looked like a 2 week old baby not a newborn. It was also a weird fortnight - every morning, yup, still pregnant, no sign of change... My DM had come to stay to help with DD, and didn't dare go home, ended up staying way longer than she had ever expected!

Good luck in whatever happens in the next 3 weeks.

Yes, think it may be a big baby if I go well overdue again. At least every day makes the overall date range go down one! So frustrating at 37 weeks that you could have baby tomorrow or in 5 weeks time! At least now I know she will be here in November. Looks like there is no real pattern, some peoples babies are always a bit late and some are just totally random!

My first was 41 weeks, my second was 37 weeks and was still a whopper

You never can tell.

DC1 40+12
DC2 40+1

Dc1 born on due date
Dc2 42 + 2 (sorry!)
Dc3 40 + 3
DC 4 expected next week!

First baby - 10 days overdue
Second baby - 14 days overdue and induced

My first was 11 days over, second was a week over. I had lots of bouts of contractions and a bloody show on my due date (Christmas Eve!) with the second so it was a looongggg week. Good luck

My first 14 days late, second 7 days
Good luck x

Ds1 was 2 weeks late, an induction that ended in emergency c section.
Ds2 was 4 days early, but that was a planned c section.

DC1 10 days overdue
DC2 went into labour in due date, born in early hours of the following morning

Ds1 induced at 42 weeks
Ds2 arrived at 38 weeks in a hurry
Ds3 3 days over his due date

First was 4 days late (11pm)
second was 5 days late (3am)
So 4 hours difference really

10 days late with DC1
16 days early with DC2. Completely unexpected and was very unprepared..

Both of mine were 11 days late. I didn't expect it with ds2 as I was so huge. I was booked in for induction for both but managed just in time!

Ds1 t+14 spontaneous labour
Ds2 t+15 induction on day 14. Was sure he'd be early/ on time.

+15 with number 1.

+3 with number 2.

Though number 3 was back up to +13

Dc1- 5 days late. 30 hour labour. 6 lb 14 oz.

Dc2 - due date. 4 hour labour! 8 lb 9 oz!!!!

DC1 was 10 days late, 30 hour labour, instrumental delivery, not a good experience.
DC1 was 9 days early, 8 hour labour, out in 3 pushes!

Make of that what you will

Oops, DC2 was 9 days early, that should read...!

Both of mine were 1 week late

DS1 was forcefully evicted at 16 days "overdue"

DS2 fell out, 4 days after my due date.

I have only had the one (second on way) but I had an appointment with my obstetrician today and asked him if there was any correlation - apparently those that are late with baby number one are more likely to be early with number two and vice versa...... not what I was expecting!
