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

DS was born at 34+2.

DS was induced at 38+5
DD arrived at 39+6 the day before a planned induction

All spontaneous labours.

DD arrived on due date... With only 42 minutes to spare, delighted I got my Halloween baby Grin

12 days late. Went in to be induced, DS felt my sheer panic and set off himself - that's my boy Grin

DS1 38weeks exactly
DD 38+1 but waters broke at 37+5.
DS2 39+4
Never made it to 40weeks, but the 39+4 felt like forever compared to 38weeks Grin

DC1 37 spontaneous, 8 hour labour
DC2 38 spontaneous, 4 hour labour
DC3 38+3 spontaneous, 20 min labour, bit scary that one, unplanned home birth with no one there but me and exH. Smile

Just had my first after being told by midwife to expect baby to come 3-4 weeks early. Waters went at 39+4, induced and delivered at 39+6.

Just can't predict it

NoRoomForALittleOne · 04/04/2015 00:27

DD1 34+6
DD2 39+2
DS 37 exactly
DD3 38+6

All spontaneous. DC5 is cheating though and will be induced on wed at 37 weeks...

Maz431 · 04/04/2015 00:46

Dd1 39+0
Dd2 38+6

HappyIdiot · 04/04/2015 21:59

Labour started 40+2, dd born 40+4

IAmACuboid · 04/04/2015 22:10

DS1 36+0, admitted two days before as waters had gone with no sign of contractions! No reason found for his early appearance.

DS2 38+0, again, no reason for the early arrival.
