Hi all, my first pregnancy went until 41+1. I'm now pregnant with my second. Just wondering how close to edd your DC were born and also whether the second is more likely to be late/early Grin

Just had my first. Three weeks early! No warning at all. Still in shock!

Dd1 37+6
Dd2 was 40+4

WindYourBobbinUp · 03/04/2015 13:32

DS1 was 36+1, I'm hoping DC2 will be later!

I'm 40+11 with my first and he's not showing any signs of coming.

FernGullysWoollyPully · 03/04/2015 13:37

Ha! Not very.

DS was 40+11. And looked like he'd been pickled in vinegar bless his little soul!
My closest was 40+4...that was DD1.
DD2 40+11 and induced.
DD3 40+5

DC1 at 37 weeks, PROM with no warning
DC2 bang on EDD - well initial date given, scan gave date 2 days later, born on the day in between!

glasgowlass · 03/04/2015 13:40

DS1 39+6
DS2 37+2
Both spontaneous. DS2 did arrive very quickly though, at home, with no medical assistance. My DP played midwife...

I went into labour on my dds due date at 5.30 in the morning, she was born 2 hours after her due date in the end ! Very punctual just like me Grin

twirlypoo · 03/04/2015 13:41

Ds was born at 9am on his due date! Was the only day I wasn't expecting him to arrive!

GlitzAndGigglesx · 03/04/2015 16:05

My waters went on due date but I didn't go in to labour until the next day. The twins will most likely be early. I'm nearly 23 weeks so hopefully not just yet!

ds1 37wk
ds2 40 plus 1
dd1 40 plus 9
ds3 39wk
dd2 40 plus 3

Ds1 almost 2 week late
Ds2 5 days late but went into labour on due date
Ds3 2 week early
And currently got 6 and half week to go until ds4 due date.

GoooRooo · 03/04/2015 16:05

37+3. Waters went at 37+1 but didn't progress. Induced 37+2. Gave birth 37+3.

I hope this one is early too. I'd had enough by then!
