DC1 came at 38wks, how likely is DC2 to be early?

[rowtunda]

The title says it all really. Started to have a slight panic as 31weeks and not started preparations for DC2 yet. Getting concerned that DC2 could come even earlier.

What is your experience?

(Also have a wedding in France to go to at 36weeks!)

Lol, think the wedding in France is a bit brave!!
Dc1 arrived at 36w, dc2 at 38w, dc3 at 35w though that was a section so doesn't really count, now 31w with dc4.
A friend of mine had her first at 30w and has just had her 2nd 10 days overdue . Not very helpful really am I?!?! Just don't think you can ever tell, they don't really seem to follow a pattern Good luck

Brave is one word for it!

I just know if I don't go baby will be bloody overdue!

Dc1 37 weeks dc2 41+1. Don't risk it!!

Dc1 was 38 weeks.
Dc2 39 weeks.
Dc3 37 weeks.

I'd think very carefully about the wedding and make a plan.

I'm in similar position, my DS arrived at 38+4 (waters broke at 38+1). Currently 15 weeks pregnant with DC2 and will be having elcs. Am concerned i'll go into labour before c-section date. I know they will just do me as emergency but i wont cope if i feel even one contraction.

Dont have any weddings in other countries to go to, just Christmas so this baby better stay put till i'm ready
