If your first two were 'late' when did your third arrive?

My first two were born at 41+6 and 41+5

I've also been dated a whole week ahead compared to my own dates so potentially looking at going to 42+

Were your thirds wild cards or am I likely to have another 'late' baby?

First 2 arrived exactly a week late each - then my third was 3 days early!! Which surprised me as I was thinking he would be late too! Left work on Friday and he was born the Sunday! X

Late, late, one day early!

Mine followed a pattern of 3 days earlier each.
1st: 40+5
2nd: 40+2
3rd: 39+6

I suppose if yours followed the same continuous line then your 41+6 then 41+5 would be followed by 41+4.

Good luck either way!

Born 2 days after my due date. He was the one born closest to his due date and he is very proud of that!

First was two weeks late. Second was ten days late. Third was a week late.

My 1st was on due date, 2nd was 3 weeks early, 3rd was then 10 days late! Then fourth was 4 days late. Easiest and best birth was my 2nd.
