I am currently pregnant with my second baby and already feeling crazy uncomfortable at 31 weeks Blush I was 13 days late having my first, a few people have said to me second baby's usually come slightly earlier. Just wondering what others experiences of this are? How many weeks were you when you gave birth to your first compared to second? Also was there a difference in the length of labour?

2nd was later than the first (but both before their due dates).
2nd Labour was a lot shorter and a million times better than the first.

5 days late with first. Induced due to bleeding. 2 weeks early with 2nd.

BurningBenches · 12/02/2021 21:56

1st induced at 42wks 12/3hrs
2nd spontaneous at 40+9 6hrs
3rd induced at 42wks 2hrs
4th induced at 40wks 4hrs.

1, 2 and 4 I've said the established labour times as they took a while to get going. The induction of my 3rd was 2hrs from waters popped.

First at 34 weeks (no one has any idea why), second at 39+1.
