I've got a long way to go yet - 23 weeks with DC3 - and I will be having a ELCS at 39 weeks. Unless baby comes earlier spontaneously...

DP works abroad sometimes and has some unavoidable dates out of the country in the two weeks before 39 weeks - YIKES!

So, just for fun, tell me when your DCs arrived so I can obsess think about whether I need to make alternative arrangements for birth partner!

I'll start (but mine are boring):

DC1 - 40+5 induced
DC2 - 38+1 ELCS
DC3 - when daddy gets home please??? Smile

DS 39+1 Perfectly healthy!

Dc1- 40+10
Dc2- 38+4
Dc3- 39+4

I think that's the pattern you are looking for... Earlier than dc1 but later than dc2.

dc2- 40+3
dc3- 40+13

No inductions, all came when they were ready :)

Added point, my 2 really late ones were boys, the middle one was a girl.

DD2 - still to arrive! Hoping 37 wks + so I get a home birth again.

Good luck!

ok, this isn't too bad. I saw another thread where babies seemed to come earlier with each one, but this doesn't seem to be the (very scientific) case here does it?
