2nd time mum in the making. I went into labour at 39 with my son. Wondering what the difference was with your two pregnancies? Was your second baby earlier or later?

2nd baby was a day later than the 1st baby. Both around a week late

I had a section at 39 weeks with my first (with no signs of labour) and started having contractions at 38 weeks with my second.

First baby came exactly on due date and second I was induced two weeks early due to obstetric cholestasis (quick delivery and everything fine)

38w exactly with first

39+3 with second - 24hrs after she turned head down from being breech.

Both times, i went into labour within 48hrs of being diagnosed with very high blood pressure (DD1) and preeclampsia (DD2), so my body is clearly very good at knowing when its time for a speedy exit!!
