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

40+12! Although I'm convinced I was more like 3 weeks over. I have birth an hour before I was due to be induced Grin

FinickityCoder · 03/04/2015 16:26

Dc1 39+2
Dc2 33 weeks exactly.
Both spontaneous.

TelephoneEggGnawingMachine · 03/04/2015 16:30

Labour started spontaneously at 40+2, DD was born 40+3.

BackforGood · 03/04/2015 16:35

dc1 7 days late
dc2 2 days late (well, technically, was born in the early hour of the morning)
dc3 7 days late

123rd · 03/04/2015 16:42

Dd 40+7
Ds 40+ 6

DS1 was born just after midnight so was technically 40+1. DH suggested I should have "pushed harder" Hmm
DS2 was born on his EDD.

GrouchyKiwi · 03/04/2015 16:52

Both of mine were born on their EDDs according to LMP, and two days late according to the dating scan.

3 days early
3 weeks early

would have been far too scared to risk another.

thatsn0tmyname · 03/04/2015 16:59

DS was 10 days overdue.
DD was 12 days overdue.

Flingingmelon · 03/04/2015 16:59

DS was 40+3

Kim82 · 03/04/2015 17:03

In order:

Ds - 10 days early
Dd1 - 14 days early
Dd2 - 11 days early
Dd3 12 days early

All 4 were induced because of my blood pressure

Sparklingbrook · 03/04/2015 17:05

I didn't agree with either of my due dates. Angry

DS1 was completely on time to mydates and according to HCPs was two weeks early but he wasn't.

DS2 arrived on what I was told was his due date. It wasn't, there's no way I could have got pregnant when they said I did. He wasn't due for another few weeks as far as I was concerned. But I had the flu and I was coughing ,my lungs up constantly and I think that he had had enough.
He was IMO not quite cooked.

RabidFairy · 03/04/2015 17:12

DD was born on 40+9; I had a sweep the previous afternoon and my waters went in the evening, she was born lunchtime the following day.
DS was born on 40+11; I went in to be induced, but I was already having some contractions so they broke my waters and left me to it. He was born 4 1/2 hours later.

DC3 is still pending. Hopefully she'll be a little more on time than her siblings.

Ds1 due date
DD due date plus 1
DS2 due date minus 1
DS3 38 weeks (bit of a shock and almost born in the car because I didn't think I was in labour because it was too early!)

All spontaneous labours!

MehsMum · 03/04/2015 18:31

All a few days late except DC3 who was:
17 days late according to my scan
15 days late according to LMP
13 days late according to when I knew I had ovulated.

Luckily my midwives went with my date. Two sweeps finally kicked off a 2.5hr labour. Huge baby, slightly overcooked, and as fit as a flea.

MehsMum · 03/04/2015 18:32

57 hour labour
!!!! You poor thing!

Longshorttall · 03/04/2015 18:35

Ds - 7am due date
Dd - 6.30am due date
Punctual babies.

mandy214 · 03/04/2015 18:37
