No way of telling TBH. My 3rd pregnancy went overdue even though my previous 2 had been early ( one was twins so to be expected). Hope it is soon though..it's a real pain , in more ways than one, to go over time Smile

thanks. i know it is a big waiting game.
my body feels so diferent to the others i never got any pains untill right at the end when labour pains began.
so its very frustrating to have all these signs and nothing happen.
im actually quiet surprised im still pregnant as ive been super stressed and chasing my boys around.
i realy just cant wait for her to be here with us :-)

I've found my 3rd pregnancy very different too, I have a 5 and 3yo already, I'm nearly 24. Never had braxton hicks before, I've been getting them since 18wks this time!

Its made me and dp decide 3rd and final Grin

My 3rd was also very different. I was early with the others and no BH. This one I had several false starts, loads of Bh and went to 40+3!

I had loads of BH from quite early on with my 3rd. My first was 8 days late, my second 3 days early and then my 3rd (who felt like he was falling out from 35 weeks) was also 8 days late. There is sadly no way of predicting but I hope when it does happen it is quick and straightforward. My 3rd labour was exceptionally quick!!

I had BH with my third from about 22 weeks which I never had with my previous 2. I was adamant this baby would be early I got all the nibbling signs at 36-38weeks period pains, frequent braxton hicks, nesting etc she came last Thursday at 5 days late and I even went to hospital thinking they were mild braxton hicks good job I did she was born 2 hours later ! Good luck .

Also my 1st 8 days late 2nd was 1 day early so unpredictable the thirds are!
