Just find it interesting cos everyone says 1st babies are normally late, then after that they're normally on time etc. I seem to be a bit odd, my first was 37+2 then 2nd 38+4, third arrived at bang on 39weeks. What are the chances no4 will be even later?!

37+3 with DS and he was 7lb 5oz!

Currently 26+5 with number 2, I'm hoping for a 37 weeker again!

DS 40+5
DD 41+3

Currently 37.5 with number 3. I'm happy for this one to arrive asap but am prepared for a couple/few more weeks yet.

39+5 with DS1 (though actually I think it was more like 39 exactly)

Currently 39+1 with DS2 and quite impatient as have been having period pains/a show etc for a couple of weeks now. Thought it might be a bit earlier as no. 2 but I'm also smaller than I was with DS1 so maybe he needs a bit longer!

Oh I'm the op and this thread is depressing me Sad
My first was 37+3
2nd 38+4
3rd 39+0
Just got back from midwife (38+5) and just got this feeling she's going to need a bit of encouragement to come out, planned sweep for next Sunday and even discussed a second sweep and induction at 40+12 should the second sweep fail aswell. I don't know where this feelings coming from but I'm positive she's staying put for a bit

My DC was born at 38+6 (only one), and I was born at 28 weeks (the eldest). My DH, also the oldest child, was born at 40 weeks.
