If your first baby was late, was your second late too?

I'm 37 weeks and getting impatient! My ds was born at 40+12 so I'm thinking I will probably be overdue again.

At my last appt baby was head down but not engaged, I think it mives between head down and transverse though going by movement. I don't think I've felt aby braxton hicks, no show etc.

Am I right in thinking this baby is likely to be late too? what was your experience?

Nope.

DC1 came at 42+5 after looooong induction.
DC2 came at 37+5

Rummikub · 14/08/2014 20:36

First was over a week late, second 2 weeks early!

poppetina · 14/08/2014 20:37

Dc1 40+12
Dc2 40+1

Hope you don't have to wait as long this time.

MatchsticksForMyEyes · 14/08/2014 20:38

Mine were both induced at 40+14. I think I must just cook babies longer!

NickNacks · 14/08/2014 20:39

Same as rummikub.

Ds1 41w
Ds2 38w
Dd 39w

sheldor · 14/08/2014 20:41

Jbck · 14/08/2014 20:44

Nope, DD1 40+10 induced, emcs failure to progress.

DD2 bang on her EDD.

Playdoughcaterpillar · 14/08/2014 20:46

Yes!
DC1 induced at +14
DC2 T+10 just in time to avoid induction and after several sweeps!

TeenageMutantNinjaTurtle · 14/08/2014 20:48

40+5 and then 41+2... Gah!

milkjetmum · 14/08/2014 20:49

Dd1 41 weeks
Dd2 39+2. Was in denial about being in labour as I was sure it she would be late too! and i wanted to eat the lovely m&s dinner I had bought first

ClaimedByMe · 14/08/2014 20:51

10 days late with both dc

oldiebutnctoday · 14/08/2014 20:52

Dd was 10 days late, induction followed by emcs.
Ds was 10 days early - I hadn't even packed my bag! Can clearly remember dithering around about what I needed to pack whilst periodically being sick in a bucket - lovely! My midwife was mortified when she came to visit me at home, said what with it being your second baby, I didn't think I needed to remind you to pack your bag!! I said I'd figured I had another 3 weeks! Have you packed your bag OP? Lol! Good luck!

Waggamamma · 14/08/2014 20:53

Looks about 50/50 then. Although reassured by all the people who went earlier with their second.

Come on baby!! I think I'll be happy with anything before 41 weeks (ask me again in a fortnight! ).

Waggamamma · 14/08/2014 20:54

LauraChant · 14/08/2014 20:54

DS1 three days late. I thought he would be later as my mum had to be induced with two of us and my sister's were all very late.
DS2 10 days late

Waggamamma · 14/08/2014 20:55

Gosh amothersplace that certainly is late. Had you refused an induction? What weight was baby?

OP posts:
redandyellowbits · 14/08/2014 21:03

DC1 was 2 weeks late
DC2 was 2.5 weeks early
DC3 was on due date

I was also expecting DC2 to go over and was totally unprepared when she made an early appearance.

Hope it happens soon for you OP.

MrsBungle · 14/08/2014 21:05

Dc1- 40+8
Dc2- I was induced at 40+4 so I don't know when he actually intended to come out!

GoldiandtheBears · 14/08/2014 21:08

Yes both 11 days late same weight too.

DalmationStripe · 14/08/2014 21:08

DC1 - 12 days late

DC2 - 13 days late

Smile
TwentiethCenturyGirl · 14/08/2014 21:09

Yep. 40+11 with DC1 (induced at 40+10) and 40+7 with DC2.

I knew I'd be late with them both but it was so much easier second time round!

elmo2014 · 14/08/2014 21:17

First was 10 days overdue. (Induced)

Second was 8 days overdue.

Pregnant again now, haven't even considered that it might be early. Perhaps I should. Although, I have started a hospital bag!

PoopPoooDeDooo · 14/08/2014 22:05
