Overdue/Past EDD on your 1st - when for your 2nd?

fides · Jan 19th, 2013, 22:46 PM

There have been a lot of second birth threads recently, but I am asking specifically about those who went past their EDD first time around vs. second - I absolutely hated going to 40 + 13 (2 hours shy of the dreaded 42 week mark) last time around, and am curious to see if any ladies had better luck the second time around.

Thanks!

My 1st was born on her EDD
2nd was 40+4
3rd was 41 wks
4th was 39wks

Would love this one to be 38wks or so, getting fed up now and am only at 34+5

2nd was induced at 14 days over, born at 15 days over
3rd - waters went at 9 days over, had to be induced later that same day, born at 10 days over

Our first was 7 days past her due date and went into labour naturally, 24 hours labour.
Our second was 5 days early, again went naturally. 2 hours from first pain to delivery!

Now 9 weeks pregnant with our third, hoping not to go over as I have big babies. Xx

I know, I expected my second to be as long as the first so I prepared snacks and all sorts to take into hospital with us expecting a long night and day but it all happened so quick, my other half did not even have time to move the car out of the drop off point parking space! I am hoping that this one will be just as quick. X

DS1 was 8 days late.
DS2 was born on his due date.

First labour was 12 hours, natural. Second labour 4 hours, baby arrived half an hour after we got to the hospital, I didn't have time for any of the pain relief I was asking for.

DS1 was 8lb 12oz, DS2 was 6lb 2oz.

So be prepared for completely different experience!!
