Writing this at 39+5. Had a scare at 33/34 weeks she was coming early and had the steroid injections but she's still cooking 🙄 DS was induced at 42 weeks (10 years ago) and I'm really hoping for a spontaneous labour this time but so far have no signs 😑

How did your second labour compare to #1 weeks/days wise?

DC1 at 38w
DC2 at 41+3! He kept me waiting!

Dc1 was 40+15 after a very long induction. Every drug going!
Dc2 arrived at 40+7 - had a few hours of on off contractions the day before, then all stopped. Then the next day waters broke and boom - baby arrived 45 minutes later. Didn’t make it to hospital!

DS1 born 41+3, 23 hour excruciatingly painful back to back labour.

DS2 just over 2 years later, born 41+1, 4 hour somewhat less excruciating labour. Also had an early scare at 31ish weeks.
