Following on from the thread re. children who arrived on the due date... were second/ subsequent children late? early? the same?

Have to declare an interest as DS arrived on his due date and DS2 is due on 1st May...

2nd dd was 10 days early
ds was 5 days late !

DS was 1 day late according to hospital dates or 2 days early according to my dates.

DD was 1 day early and I was bang on with my dates, even down to the hour of day - so actually she was more like 36 hours hours early!
