Anyone go overdue with the first 2 pregnancies and early with the 3rd?

Clutching at straws here but can't face going overdue again. I'm 35 weeks with my third. DS1 was 12 days overdue, DS2 was 8 days over. Anybody have 2 late ones and then an early one?

I had two late ones 12 days then 9 days. These two ended with induction. With my 3rd i was 3 days over and went spontaneously and with my 4th I was 11 days and went spontaneously again. Don't think you can ever be sure.

My experience is DD1 - 11 days overdue (induced), DD2 - 12 days overdue (after sweep) and I am due tomorrow with no 3... sorry this isn't the story you are looking for ! I am hoping desperately I start labouring tonight but not much hope of that !

Every pg is different but just to reassure you, my two eldest were born 8 days late but my youngest was 3 weeks early (spontaneous).

With my first 2, my waters broke at exactly 36 + 4. They were both born at exactly 37. Now I am 38 + 4 with my third! Who knows???? Why does it differ? I was convinced my third would be the same....

Thanks everyone. Tummum, hope you get going soon! I wonder why some babies just like to hang in there longer?
No doubt I shall find myself trying the pineapple/long walks/hot currys/ sex (grim) combo in a few weeks time.....

My SIL went 2 weeks over with first two, but number 3 was born at 38 weeks! My first 2 were born at 37+1 and 38 +1, and am currently 35+2 with number 3. I'm hoping I don't go overdue, I'll be pulling my hair out
