I was 2 days over with one and 2 days early with the other one.

Don't expect this time around giving birth to be exactly the same as the first time.

I am so exited on your behalf. Good luck with it.

I don't think it makes a difference either way. You might be 2 weeks early this time or 2 weeks late. Theres just no telling when a babys cooked and ready to come out.
I was 2 weeks late with ds and I hope with me next child I wont be.
Good luck

Hi,thanks, hoping to go early this time, so uncomfortable and moody, my husband is hating me at the moment, hehe. Doc said i can go in a couple of days early if i havent had him and he will try get things moving for me.

I was 2 weeks late and induced with ds1. A week early with ds2, bang on time with ds3.

I don't think it matters!

What your doc is going to start you off early? God I wish mine did that!!

bel82 · 07/09/2007 15:03

Thats good to hear. My doc said usually things will be about the same 2nd time round, i was dissapointed to hear that, but this brings me some relief.

Yeh I dont think it matters. But 2 days overdue isnt too bad is it? Better than 2 weeks.

bel82 · 07/09/2007 15:05

Yes but he said only a few days early, he will just do an internal and try get things moving a bit, said that usually works. But fingers crossed i wont have to wait that long.

Drink some raspberry leaf tea. Thats ment to help. It says on the packet not to drink before 36 weeks preg, obviously because it can work I guess.
I can imagine how uncomfortable your feeling, its so muggy and hot. very uncomfortable when your heavily pregnant
