Sooooooooooo...... all you 2nd and 3rd and 4th time Mums......did your 2nd bubs arrive earlier than their EDD or did you find that they followed a similar pattern to your first? i.e if your first was late/on time then the 2nd one was too? I'm at that lovely OVER IT stage of pg lol, and don't get me wrong, obviously want my baby to turn up when she's ready to! But just curious none the less if all these hard out BH and soreness might be leading up to the real tihng a bit earlier, or if cos it's my 2nd, I just get to 'enjoy' the discomfort for a little longer BTW- for those who were following my breech saga lol, we had a scan last week and bubs has turned...YAY Gulp. -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

40+5 with my first, but had a S&S so don't know what her true date would have been. Night on 42 weeks with DD2. Babies are not essays  ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

Sorry to say but DD was 5 days early and DS was 4 days late so they definitely didn't follow the same pattern. DS was posterior and I wonder if that may have contributed. -------------

Statistically (so not an essay ) the average length of PG is about 3 days shorter for 2nd baby than first. It's referenced on a blog weegee sent me but I can't find which one! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

So in theory, if we kept having babies then EVENTUALLY we would have one that was born happy and healthy at 8 months? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

mine followed a pattern in that they were all overdue and all induced - but thats where the similarities ended. three very different births and experiences. and my baby with the biggest head - 39cms - was my easiest birth... he was scanned with an estimated birth weight of 11pd but wasnt that born!
edit to the correct (or i hope so) weight unit. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Now that I think of it I went into labour with both around the same time on a Friday and had them both on a Saturday.
I was engaged from quite early with Caprece but the toad un-engaged and turned posterior at 39 weeks! |

Hmm well caden was fully engaged from 35 weeks and he didnt arrive until 42 weeks, and Isabella was the same and when I had my elective at 9 days overdue she was showing no signs of arriving.
Engaged doesnt mean they will arrives any sooner lol! ------------- |

I am not fully engaged, but getting there, and I tell you it is uncomfortable! BH constantly and sharp pains in my lady bits and inner thighs. and I need to pee all the time.
Lets hope these bubs arrive soon! |
