If your 1st was early...

[Montifer]

..does that have any bearing on the likelihood of subsequent DC arriving before their EDD?

TIA

Well ds1 was 1 week early and ds2 was 3 weeks early.

But I think it varies hugely.

Most folk I know went late for DC2 etc

Not me though... Am late for everything....

1st - 27 days early
2nd - 7 days early

I'm on my 3rd and have decided that 27 days early would be brilliant !!

1st 4 weeks early
2nd 2 weeks late

DC1 - 1 week early
DC2 - 4 days early

Currently expecting DC3 and am hoping its not early this time as DD 2nd Sept and I'm hoping to get DC1 and 2 pack to school first!

ds1 - 2 days early
ds2 - 1 day late

both of mine came on week 37. just hoping this one will come on week 37 as well

DD1 - 15 days early
DD2 - 12 days late
DD3 - 5 days late

DS - T-2 days (39+5 today) he is being induced bang on term but I reckon he would be late as well

DS born at 38+3
DD born at 40+4. The last two weeks of that felt very long

ds1 born at 30wks,dd1 4 days early,ds2 12 days late

Unfortunately no, my first DC was born at 35 weeks my second was born at 41+ weeks!

8 weeks early
... 13 weeks early

DD1 - 2 weeks early
DD2 - am 40 weeks and still waiting!

all 3 early.

both mine were 5 days early, but i have a friend who was 3 weeks early with her first, and 2 weeks overdue with her second.

Depends on the reason for the earliness I think. Some reasons (e.g. placental abruption) are likely to recur in subsequent prgs and some are just one-offs.

According to my consultant some women just naturally have shorter pregnancies than others.

1st- DD- born 36 weeks
2nd- DS- born 34+4

DD1 3.5 weeks early
DD2 1 week early but planned c section

I'm on my first pregnancy, but my sis had one baby 2 days early, the next on her due date, and the third a couple of days late.

Hey,

I had 2 extreme differences:

DS - 13 weeks early!!
DD - 2 weeks overdue

... Just shows no two pregnancies are the same, i was convinved DD would be early but nope she held on to the bitter end!
