overdue with 1st, overdue with 2nd?

[Chulita]

My sister just helpfully told me that if you go overdue with your 1st you tend to go overdue with your 2nd. I don't believe her [head in sand emoticon] but wondered what people had experienced.
Please make me feel better

2 weeks over with ds1
spot on with ds2
week over with ds3

i think there is some truth in that some women do tend to have slightly longer or slightly shorter pregnancies but it isn't always the case.
i have a friend who had all 3 of her children at 43 weeks for example, and her mum was the same.

9 days over with 1st
9 days over with 2nd

I tend to think it's true!

ds1 42+5 (induced)
ds2 - born on edd.

Fingers crossed for you!

11 days over with 1st

3 days over with 2nd

40+10 with first (induced)
40+8 with second (induced)

asked for induction with both as private.

Most of my friends have had similar gestations.

1st pregnancies, on average, last one week longer than subsequent ones, if all is left to happen naturally.

foreverastudent that's the kind of thing I wanted to hear
I know 4 weeks isn't much in the grand scheme of things but we all know what the hanging around does!

40+15 WITH DS (induced/EMCS)

Currently 40+2 and sick of my life!

Good luck

I was 6 days over with both of mine.

9 days over with DD1
9 days under with DD2

DD1 40+6

was assured by midwife at 38 week check that she wouldn't be seeing me for 40 week check and just at my house with babe in arms.

DD2 40+6

At the time I was thinking of suing MW!

hi...ds1 40 + 21
dd1 40 + 10
ds2 40 +10
currently not expecting no 4 to turn up until 10 days over due date so although im counting down the last 16 days..i know ive probably got 26 (ish) to go
my paternal grandma had 6 babies...all 10 days late!!!
good luck x

I can't give you my experience as only have one DD, but my mum was 10 days over with me (1st DC) and 12 days over with my brother....so it got worse for her!

Some people might go consistantly 'overdue' if they have long menstrual cycles, causing their due date to be incorrect at the outset.

dd1 - 12 days late (induction and emergency c-section)
dd2 - 9 days late (induction and VBAC)

"Some people might go consistantly 'overdue' if they have long menstrual cycles, causing their due date to be incorrect at the outset."

that will be myself then in that category!

DS1 - overdue by 11 days
DS2 - 39+5 pg and counting...I do anticipate going overdue again, just have a feeling about it, don't know why...

Ok! I don't want to hear anymore cos hardly any of you are telling me what I want to hear [sticks fingers in ears and waddles runs away]

DS1 - 4 days late
DS2 - 6 days late

DD1- 12 days overdue, induced

DD2- 4 days early

numero uno - 36 weeks

numero dos - 41+3 weeks

i spent the whole time fretting i was going to go even earlier and ended up pregnant for nearly 6 weeks longer. so imo, you never know.

First: 40+12, booked for induction, waters went, labour stopped, augmented labour (drip)

Second: 39+5, waters went, labour stopped, augmented labour (pesseries - much better!)

DD1 - 40+6 and a looong drawn out labour and much damage.

DD2 - 38+3 and easy, quick labour

DS1 overdue by 11 days
DS2 so far I'm overdue by 6 days...

DC1 almost 2 weeks early, induced (pre eclampsia)

DC2 almost 2 weeks late, spontaneous

DC3 currently knocking about inside me showing no signs of budging, 40+6
