Earlier.
DD 1 was 4 days late and DD 2 was born on due date

Ally256 · 04/07/2024 19:39

Six weeks earlier!

DallasCC · 04/07/2024 19:39

Earlier. 3 weeks before my schedule c section date in fact!

hahavzv · 04/07/2024 19:39

40 +12 with DC1 and 40 +8 with DC 2. DC1 ended up as an ECS and DC 2 was elective.

Earlier. DC1 was T+13 (induced). DC2 was T+3 (spontaneous onset of labour).

LaPalmaLlama · 04/07/2024 19:40

Earlier- DS, one day after due date. DD - one week before due date despite my obstetrician scanning me that afternoon and saying "nope, not engaged, see you next week" šŸ˜‚

FanSaBhaile · 04/07/2024 19:42

Later. DC 1 was on due date, DC 2 was 5 days late.

OublietteBravo · 04/07/2024 19:45

Earlier - just. DD was 40+12. DS was 40+11.

champagneplanet · 04/07/2024 19:46

DD2 was 11 was days early (and also 4 days before planned CS). Went into labour with her and had to have an EMCS.

With DD1 I was induced 13 days past my due date and she was born the following day, so was 2 weeks late.

When are you due OP?

Violet1988 · 04/07/2024 19:47

Later but not by much. DS1 was born at 38+3 and DS2 39+1. Labour was much much faster though with DS2.

Namechanged11111 · 04/07/2024 19:49

Same, but had to be induced second time (twins). Still took 4 days to get them out!

Iwasafool · 04/07/2024 19:49

Number 1 and 2 both a week late, number 3 was 4 days early, number 4 was happy where he was and eventually was persuaded to make an appearance 10 days late, I didn't want an induction but he was big and getting bigger so it was probably the right choice.

Congratulations and hope it all goes well.

Ttcmumma · 04/07/2024 19:57

Later. First born 38 weeks, second 40+2

ThatsThatMeEspresso · 04/07/2024 19:59

Earlier by a week.

Himitsu · 04/07/2024 20:00

Both of mine were born at exactly 37+1

ProjectKettle · 04/07/2024 20:01

Later.

DD1 - 38w
DD2 - 39+2

Both spontaneous deliveries after developing high BP / preeclampsia. DD2 was supposed to be a breech c section but she turned 3 days before c section due to take place.

hummingbird14 · 04/07/2024 20:01

3 days earlier šŸ™‚

Fridaysgirl17 · 04/07/2024 20:03

DC 2 was born the day I was 35 weeks & DC 1 was born at 36+1 weeks so 8 days earlier, almost twice as big & home within 24 hours, DC 1 was a 13 day NICU stay,& only 4 lbs , completely opposite on all counts

LightSpeeds · 04/07/2024 20:04

Earlier (2weeks)

Jimmyspiano · 04/07/2024 20:04

DS1 arrived 15 days after his due date after a three day long induction, epidural and forceps. DS2 was born 7 days after his due date. It was a spontaneous labour with no interventions or pain relief at all.

I hope the birth goes well and you and your baby are happy and healthy.

Covidwoes · 04/07/2024 20:05

Later! In fact, she was so late she had to be evicted via induction. šŸ˜‚

Snozzlemaid · 04/07/2024 20:05

DC1 - 37 +3
DC2 - 37 +4

Jeckyl · 04/07/2024 20:06

Exactly the same šŸ™‚

I did convince myself the second would come earlier but, alas, no.

V1kster88 · 04/07/2024 20:06

DS @ 40+1
DD @ 39+6

They balance each other out in every way šŸ˜‚

LegoLegoLegoLegoLego · 04/07/2024 20:07

8 days later, a few days overdue.

Good luck op 😊
