What gestation were you when you had DC2?

And how did that compare to DC1?

I had DD at 39+5 and I'm currently 38+6 with DC2. Just wanted to see if there was a trend, e.g. Are you more likely to go earlier with your second or is it totally random

All were spontaneous labours. I wasn't expecting to go overdue with DC2 after being early with DC1, those few days felt very long indeed.

40 and 40 by my reckoning (I was charting my temp and also had implantation bleeding so I thought that was pretty accurate) However medical profession/scans put me at 40+3 I think and 40+6(or 7?), my MW was getting quite twitchy for the second and was talking of doing a sweep.

41+3 for dc2
