First was 2 days late and second was 4 days late. I had really long labours with both.

1st - 38+5
2nd - 39+6
3rd 40+1

Popsicales · 10/08/2024 20:46

1st - 38+2
2nd - 37+6

Both spontaneous, labours less than 3hours and waters breaking when pushing. Very similar. I’m expecting my third and hoping it’s similar!

DC1 40+12
DC2 40+6

DS1 was 38+6, spontaneously went into labour.
DS2 38+2, spontaneous too.
My third went to 39+4 I was completely shocked and felt I was way overdue 😂

verabarbleen · 10/08/2024 21:04

First baby 37 weeks exactly and second baby was 40+1

MamaDollyorJesus · 10/08/2024 21:47

DD1 - 40+3
DD2 - 40+4
DS - 39

  1. 42Wks induced
  2. 41+3 spontaneous
  3. 42wks induced
  4. 40+1 induced
  5. 41 induced

1,3 and 5 were induced for being overdue, 4th due to his large size (and he would have also been overdue I am sure)

Dd1- 39+5
Ds1- 40+3
Dd2- 39+2
Currently 38+4 with DS2. 😬

Ruelzdontapply · 10/08/2024 21:56

1st come on her due date

2nd was 12 days overdue went into labour naturally on the day I was due to be induced.

3rd was 39 weeks I went in to be induced due to reduced movement. during the examination I was 3cm dilated so they broke my waters.

4th was 36 weeks - induced because baby had stopped growing at 32 weeks.

JumpstartMondays · 10/08/2024 21:58

First 41+1, spontaneous, 36hr labour,

Second 40+5, spontaneous, very very fast labour! Almost born on the bathmat at home 🫣 1hr 15min from waters breaking.

Hairyfairy01 · 10/08/2024 22:02

1st 2 weeks late, 2nd 4 weeks early, both spontaneous.

Mysterymark · 10/08/2024 22:06

1st +10 days
2nd + 6 days

Justhereforaibu1 · 10/08/2024 22:06

Both exactly the same, 3 days early. Same weight too, one boy one girl

DrunkenKoala · 11/08/2024 12:30

DC1 40+1 (he was born early hours of +1, but most of my labour happened on his due date)

DC2 38+1

StellaCruella · 11/08/2024 12:31

1st was on due date, 2nd was 10 days early

SquarePotato · 11/08/2024 12:33

My first was 41+6 (induced)
second was 41+1

Oxalis00 · 11/08/2024 12:54

I’d considered starting a similar thread OP - my first was 40+14 by the time she arrived (spontaneous on day booked for induction) and now 39+1 with no signs whatsoever! Hoping to avoid induction but my hospital now recommends for +7 instead of +12 so the window is tighter. When are you due? Good luck!

mibbelucieachwell · 11/08/2024 14:27

Both arrived 5 days after due date. Ist was born by emergency c section, second came the usual way quite quickly. Both the same size.

User79853257976 · 11/08/2024 14:49

First was 41+3 and second was 40+4.

CrunchySnow · 11/08/2024 15:23

First 40+2
Second 39+6

Both spontaneous labours.

Chasingsquirrels · 11/08/2024 15:25

Pretty much identical, both 3 weeks early.
Technically different days as dc1 was 37+0 @ 00.36hrs and dc2 was 36+6 @ 23.55hrs, if the labour had been 20 mins instead of 15 mins he'd have been 37+0 as well.

typicaltuesdaynight · 11/08/2024 15:31

1st born at 36 weeks 2nd was induced at 40 weeks due to my age but , if wasn't induced I think he would of been 40+ weeks as there was sign of him coming early

greengreyblue · 11/08/2024 15:33

1st- 39+ 3
2nd-41+1
