Hey guys,

my first arrived 37+6 days, I am 37+6 with my second today and nothing happening at all lol. Have an induction booked for 2.02 due to high bp. Really want a natural birth, when did your second babies arrive? Late or roughly same time as your first?

My first was 41+2, my second was 38+6. Fingers crossed things happen for you soon.

Cerialkiller · 22/01/2026 20:58

My first was 37 weeks. Second 37+5. Both spontaneous waters breaking too 😶

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 22/01/2026 20:59

My first was 41 and my second was 39

Baby 1: 41+2
Baby 2: 40+2
Both spontaneous - had sweeps with both.

Good luck!

TheBirdintheCave · 22/01/2026 21:10

A day or two earlier? I think my son was 40+5 and daughter 40+3.

HampsterCheese90 · 22/01/2026 21:29

Mine were 41 weeks and 40+6, labour started on the same day but second baby came faster.

MapleOakPine · 22/01/2026 21:31

First was 40+8, second was 40+7. Then third surprised me by being early!

Seawolves · 22/01/2026 21:34

36+6, 39+5

Jannergirl · 22/01/2026 21:37

Both 8 days early- although one in the early hours and the other close to midnight- so there’s still time?!!

PoppySaidYesIKnow · 22/01/2026 21:38

First was 8 days late. Second was 16 days late, third was 7 days late.

xyzandabc · 22/01/2026 21:40

1st 40+12 induced
2nd 40+10 spontaneous
3rd 40+13 spontaneous

All similarly late

Mydonkeyisred · 22/01/2026 21:43

1st arrived on her due date.
2nd arrived a week late

moftwo · 22/01/2026 21:45

My first was 38 weeks, my second was 41 weeks. I remember that wait for my second was really tough after not really experiencing a wait with my first, I’d wake up every morning grumpy that I was still pregnant.

Infracat · 22/01/2026 21:47

Earlier. First was 2 weeks late, second was on time

muddlingthrou · 22/01/2026 21:49

Waters went at 37+4 with my first and she was born the next day following induction. I was convinced a
similar thing would happen with my second but she wasn’t budging for anything! Finally got induced just after my due date as she was measuring very big.

Same! DS1 was 38+6. Everyone convinced me that DS2 would clearly be earlier. I started mat leave at 36 weeks. DS2 came at 40+6 and my gosh that felt like a long wait. We joke now that DS2 was just too stubborn to be born.

2old4thispoo · 22/01/2026 21:50

My first and second babies arrived at 37+2.
Dc 1 was 7lb
Dc 2 was 6.14lb.

CrikeyMajikey · 22/01/2026 21:53

1st 39+1
2nd 41+6

Iocanepowder · 22/01/2026 22:08

Mine were c sections but I was 1 day early and my younger sibling was 10 days late.

ultracynic · 22/01/2026 22:10

42+1
40+3

WhatMe123 · 22/01/2026 22:18

First was evicted with a sweep at 40+5 and dd2 came 40+1, I was in labour on my actual due date just couldn't quite get her out on time so she was basically 16 mins overdue 😁

Seeline · 22/01/2026 22:24

1st started on due date, but arrived 2 days later
2nd - 41+5, but was much quicker - only 13hrs that time.

middleagedandinarage · 22/01/2026 22:27
