My first was 4 days late, second was 2 weeks early and in a rush lol

They don't like us going past 2 weeks overdue because the placenta can go downhill quite rapidly if baby is too much overdue.

So it sounds like a real mixed bag!!! Hopefully I won't go too far over and that the MLU is still an option.

I had a 'show' at 36 weeks, back waters went at 36+2 and they induced me at 37 cos they didn't want to leave him in any longer as I was prone to infection with no back waters.

My first was born 5 weeks early! I was always determined I wouldn't be induced, they can't force you but after 2 weeks late there is risk of the placenta failing and they like to monitor you every 1-2 days.

with my first I went into labour at 34 weeks - that was stopped/ delayed with drugs and she held on in there until 36+6 xx
