If your first arrived at 37 weeks when did your second arrive?

[QueenLagertha]

DS arrived at 37+2. I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow. I actually think I'm due a week later so maybe only 34 weeks tomorrow. Sonographer at 20 week scan stated that my date based on LMP is likely correct but they don't change date at 20 week scan here when within 10 days of dating scan date.

Anyway I've been feeling a bit rough past couple of days. I do have a head cold. But I'm getting some low down pelvic pain and loose bowels.

I've been nesting like mad thinking baby will likely be early again (maybe this has given me the pains 🤦🏼‍♀️)

1st 37+5
2nd 41+5

But this is a how long is a piece of string question.

First born 36+5, and I was convinced my second would be early. I duly went on maternity leave at 36 weeks, loads of imminent labour signs, head engaged, bags packed and ready to go at 37 weeks.

He eventually arrived at 40+5

First at 37 weeks. Thought I’d go overdue as apparently “everyone” goes overdue with their first. So felt like he was a whole month early.

Second at 40+1. Those last three weeks felt like I was already overdue as expected her to come at 37 like her brother.

First baby my waters went at 38+0 and DD arrived at 38+2

Second baby arrived at 41+1. I thought I was going to be pregnant forever!

My first was born at 37+3 (failure to thrive) 4lb 9oz.
My second was born exactly on the due date. I was also measuring small but she was a healthy 8lb 1oz!

Nooooo 🤯 it's maybe best that I tell myself this baby may not arrive early. I've built myself up for it already though 😬 these last few weeks are going to be hard. I would like him to cook for
another while but I am so done with being pregnant

37+0 (20 mins after midnight)
37-0 (5 mins before midnight)

First was born at 37 + 4 hours. Second was 41 + 3; third was 41 + 1 fourth was on their due date. Go figure!

37 weeks for the first, 40+4 for the second. I felt like a ticking time bomb second time round!

1st was 39+5
2nd was bang on 37 (and 8lb 10!!)
3rd was 38

1 - 37 weeks
2 - 33 weeks
3 - 39'weeks

For me between 1&2 there was a large age gap making pre eclampsia a bigger possibility and low & behold yes PE again and this time earlier.

1 - 37 weeks
2 - 35 weeks

First was born at 37+5, second baby born on due date

1st arrived at 36+6
2nd at 40+6!! I felt like I was waiting forever!
3rd at 39.

1st - 37 weeks natural labour
2nd - 37 weeks - cesarian due to unstable lie

1. 37+1
2. 37+6

Both were inductions due to pre-eclampsia, so don't know if they count.

First baby, waters went and baby born at 37+5. I was so sure second baby would also come early, I was eventually induced and baby came at 41+2.

Update: baby boy arrived yesterday. 37+3 according to my original due date,38+2 according to dating scan.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!
Similar arrivals to me: 37+3 and 37+4

1 - 38
2 - 38
3 - 42

Felt like forever with no 3, as I thought he'd come early too

Congratulations 🥳
