Well it has,and it's not a very novel subject but hopefully you are reading now and you might post

When will I go into labour with DC3
DD1 -was about 39 weeks
DS1-was 38 weeks
Am I more likely to be early than late?

Have been looking for some research on the web but cannot locate so would like a strawpoll of all people, early or late or vice versa

I want to know whether your past deliveries were the main indicator for your current pregnancy
If there are any O+G consultants/keen trainees/midwifes out there as well , could you link me some research.
Thanks in advance

I have one friend who has with DCs and went into labour at 39+4 with all three. Better than that pains started between 4pm and 6pm with each and all were born between 9pm and 11.30pm that day. She us a very organised lady and even her body runs to exact routines.

For me:
DD1 38+3
DD2 40+8
I am not organised in any arena.

lol at your organised friend
I am also v organised, but I do know some things may be well and truly out of my hands
This is how I try to deal with the incertainty, dragging other innocent people into my musings
DH won't indulge me, he just says, 'oh, you'll be early'
end of story
