2 or more early labors...how was your 3rd?

[jlw617]

I asked this about 3-4 months ago but didn't get much of a response so I thought I'd try again

Ok so this is my 3rd, I feel confident because of my past two labors that I'll be early with this one as well, my first dd was 2 weeks early, my second was 3 weeks early (the Drs have her marked at 4 weeks early but I knew my dates, plus she was decent sized for being that early and didn't have to stay in nicu so I think it all adds up to my date not theirs) anyhow, I tend to have small babies as well, I'm pretty petite, not skinny anymore haha but I'm under 5 ft and my dh is average at 5'10...not sure if this adds to anything...

I'm just wondering for those that have been atleast 2 weeks early with consecutive births, did it continue that way with subsequent births? My ob suspects there's a good chance I'll go early again as well as a few ladies I've spoken with, did this ring true for you too?

TIA!

I haven't had my third labor yet so ill keep you posted on that. But my first was at 38 weeks and second at 41+3. So I dunno, but I wish it would have been true for me!! Going over due sucks and I'm praying that it doesn't hasten again this time!!

I think most people tend to follow a sort of pattern when it comes to births but I guess there are always exceptions.

My friend had her first at 26 weeks, second at 32 and third at 37 weeks x

I had my first at 37 weeks, second at 36 weeks and third at 32 weeks. Hoping this one stays in longer!

Thanks ladies! I definitely don't want him coming too early but it's been kind of nice to not have to carry to the full 40 weeks or more!

Anyone else?
