Just planning out Xmas and wondering whether dc2, due a week before, will come on Xmas day. Waters broke with dd on due date and she came two days later (induced as infection risk).

No - DD was a good week overdue, DS arrived a few days before EDD. He was over a pound heavier and we think he ran out of room - I was flaming enormous 2nd time.

Both six days late here.... Had I had another, I would have told everyone the due date was six or even seven days after whatever it was.

Not for me. Dd1 was 11 days late (labour started at 10 days over), dd2 was a day late, labour started on due date.
But had strong feeling through pregnancies that dd1 would be late and dd2 was in more of a hurry!

Similar for me - ds1 was 38+ 3, ds2 was 39+2

RillaBlythe · 05/08/2012 22:25

No! Dd1 was 14 days late, dd2 was 1 day late.

Similar for me, dd was 40+12, ds1 40+11 and ds 40+10.

DD1 was 40+1 and DD2 was 38+6.

DD1 was 4 days early.
DD2 was somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks early depending on who's dates you believe (4 weeks by my calc, 6 weeks by docs)...

DD1 was a 6 hour labour, DD2 45 minutes.

No similarity in labours at all. No similarity in personality either, they are utterly chalk and cheese.

Ah but what if dc 1 on time. Was dc 2 then also on time?
