second baby come on time or early?

[London2357]

my first baby came at 37 weeks... has anyone else experienced this and gone to have a second baby? if yes, when were they born?
wondering if baby 2 is likely to be early too ....

Interested in this too 😊

Had my first at 38 weeks and currently pregnant with my second so curious to hear other people's experiences...

First was 9 days late went into labour naturally.
Second was 10 days late. I was induced & he was born 11 days after DD.

Mine were both 37wks.
Dc1 37+0, 00:36 hrs
Dc2 37-0, 23:55 hrs

I have a womb deformity that was only picked up at a 6week scan with DC1, did no research, thought nothing of it, was told it doesnt usually cause any issues.

Had dc1 at 34+5, put this down to said womb deformity and when I had dc2, was prepared for the same thing to happen again, dc2 hung on 3 more days and was born at 35+1.

Yes. First baby 37 weeks. Second baby 34 weeks but it was an emergency.

DC 1 and 2 were both two days past the due date. Similar pregnancies and births.

Dc1 was 2 weeks early, dc2 10 days late

I don’t know if there’s much truth about it to be honest. I know women that had the first baby early and the second one was late or the other way around.

My first was induced at 41wks. Second was born at 37wks when my waters broke just after I’d got in to bed one night.

A lot of friends and family had the first one early and subsequent babies were later and later again 🙈 One friend had her first at 30wks and was convinced she wouldn’t carry to term but she went to almost 40wks with her second.

Try not to think that ur gonny go early it will be a long last few weeks if you don’t! I’d have ur bag packed early though just incase 😁

My first came 38 +1
Second 39 +1

That extra week was hell especially as everyone I spoke to, even midwives said 'ohhh you had your first earlier, this one could be even earlier!'

DD1 Eight weeks early
DD2 Seven/Eight weeks early

DC1 2 weeks late
DC2 2 weeks early

Both times 37 weeks and 1 day. Both times labour started with my waters breaking. Really weird to me that both were the same!

Both of mine were induced after complications so DD was 39+1 and DS was 37+1. Surprisingly, my earlier baby was 2lb heavier than my later baby!
