How soon did your #3, #4 etc come?

[MamaFirst]

Hi ladies,
Just over here surviving the last few weeks of pregnancy with #4 and wondered if mum's of larger families found their baby came earlier, later or on time with #3, #4 and beyond? Anyone else is the final countdown?

All of mine have been overdue.
1 induced at 42wks
2 10days over
3 induced at 42wks
4 induced at 40wks due to size. Suspect he would have been a 42wker too.

Sorry that's not massively encouraging. 3rd and 4th were quick labours though. 2 and 4hrs.

@Yump you obviously kept a very cosy home for them in there No worries, thanks for your input!

Ha yes, tbh it's utterly ridiculous and I'm grateful they all arrived safely but I would have liked them to turn up a little earlier the last few weeks past due date are hard.

They were all pretty big, my last was 9lb5 at 40wks so reckon he would have been over 10lb if he was as late as the other 3.

Good luck x

My fifth was the latest of the lot!

1st - 40+1 (11.5 hour labour)
2nd - 39+6 (1 hour 40 mins labour)
3rd - 39+5 (2 hour labour)

I'm currently 36+2 with baby number 4 and planning a home birth like I did with number 3. She arrived before the midwives and my midwife has literally just phoned me to see if I want to discuss the option of induction at 39 weeks in case of a quick labour again but I'm really unsure 😐

Full term but less than 3 hour labour's with 3 +4!!

Following with interest. 38 weeks today, seeep booked for 39 weeks and induction for EDD. Third baby ! Last labour was more active for 4 hours preceded by 12 hours v chilled labour contractions half hourly.

I'm exhausted and sick fed up. 😭

1- 6 days late
2- morning after she was due
3 - 3 weeks early
4- day after due date
5- due date
6- 4 days late!

These short labour stories are terrifying me! #3 was a long first stage after sweep, but then once waters were broken at 3cm, came in 1.5 hours.
Maybe I should pass the time googling how to deliver your own baby. Eeek.
