will this baby be early.....

[aqua]

I was induced early with my first baby, but the 2nd was born at 39 weeks. What are the chances of my third being early/late. Do patterns usually occur? I am 38.3( felt abit crampy for about a week)

All 3 of mine were late, and I have a friend who's were both early. However I think that was just a coincidence and thwere isn't a pattern.

Both of mine were 3 days early.

I've had one early, one late, and one bang on time!!!

1st 2 weeks late
2nd 2 weeks early
Not sure of any pattern until I have another one...

DD was 2.5 weeks early
DS was 1 week early

Amongst my friends I've certainly noticed that some are always early and some always late (although each friend has only had 2 kids so hardly scientific proof!)

dd1 - 4days late
dd2 - 3 days early
dd3- on time!

DS1 10 days late
DS2 4 days late

Your baby will be born on its birthday, that's for definite. Other than that, nobody can tell!

I had one late, one early and one on time . So no, no pattern whatsoever!

DS - 11 days early
DD - 4 days late

Ouch, still crampy but having horrible shooting pains that feel like they are in my back passage iyswim. Feels just like constipation pains....is this a sign anyone??

Thanks for all your replies

I'm sure I read somewhere that siblings will sually be born the about same amount early/late as long as they have the same father!

ds was 6 days late
dd was 3 days late

Aqua - my labour was all completly in my bottom - no period like pains at all. I just thought it was backach so ignored it until it was unbearable and when it seem to be worse every three minutes or so dp thought it best to go to hospital - I was 7cm dilated by then.
