So, how true is that business about second babies coming earlier than first babies (especially if the first was early)?

[norktasticninja]

Is it just nonsense, or can I reasonably hope that the baby will be here pretty soon?

DD was born at 39+2 and I'm now 38+3 with DC2, for the record I'm still more curious than desperate...

For moi:

DD 40 +10
DS 40 +12 (induced, would have stayed there FOREVER methinks - v laid back lad!)

Both my DC were due (by scan dates) on 10th Aug.
Both were born on 8th Aug.
17 years apart.

sparkle- that's amazing!

Thanks duchesse. I think so, but I might be biased.

1st labour was induced on 6th Aug, DS arrived on 8th.

2nd labour was spontaneous on 8th Aug. Labour lasted 48 minutes.

Hi

DD 35+3
DS 39+6

So doesn't always follow

Also just to add - both were spontaneous labours, and DD's lasted just 3 hours, while DS was 8

I thought it was supposed to get quicker...

sorry dd 2 weeks early then 4 yrs on ds who was 2 weeks late (much quicker though so worth the wait to avoid labour marathon)

with ds1 - I always measured 2 weeks small for dates,

DS1 born 42 weeks

DC2 - i always measured 2 weeks big for dates.

DC2 so far 5 days overdue!!!!!

was expecting him/her to come 2 weeks early so the last few days (particularily with the heat) have been torture!

Dont feel like anything is about to happen either...

Just popping back to say that it wasn't true for me either! Ho hum!
