Was your 2nd earlier or later than your 1st born?

General consensus I’ve read seems to be no rhyme nor reason however I’m sitting here impatiently waiting for no2 so thought I’d ask again anyway.

Had DD at 38 + 3.

Thanks all!

I don’t think there is any rhyme or reason, to be honest.

For me, my DC1 came at 42 weeks, DC2 at 37 weeks (bit of a shock!).

But my best friend has three children and had them at 36 weeks, 41 weeks, 39 weeks...so no real pattern.

Went into labour with both of mine at 40+6.

Later. Had DS at 39+5 and DD at 40+2. Now pregnant with number 3 and 39+5.

I went into labour at 38+4 with dc1 and 39 weeks exactly with dc2.

My SiL had dc1 at 36 weeks and dc2 at the tail end of week 42.

DS1 36.3
DS2 27 (v unwell and expected)
DD 41.5

Thanks all - I like hearing everyone’s stories.
Definitely sounds like little rhyme nor reason!

DC1: 38+1
DC2: 36+0

1 at 38
2 at 39+5
3 at 40+2

Thanks all 😊

DC1 40+4
DC2 40+1

Earlier but still late, 1st born was 13 days late and 2nd born was 2 days late xx

First -41 wks
Second - 42wks

First- 39+6
Second- 37+6

Later.
DC1 39+2
DC2 40+5
DC3 39+2

Ds1 38+5
Ds2 induced at 39+5, born at 39+6.
Second was a bigger baby but much easier labour and delivery

First three were all weirdly born 40+3 and I suspect DC4 would’ve been too but had an ELCS at 39+1.

40+12 and 38+5 hoping this one comes at 38 weeks for Christmas Day

Thanks everyone 😊
