Labour question for mums of 2 or more

[Nickij]

Jack arrived a week early, and I hear that often second babies come earlier than the first. I don't mind if she is earlier (would rather early than late). But I am not going on ML until 37 weeks, and I would like some time off to relax, ensure everything it ready, and also have some Jack and mum time before she makes her appearance.

So I was just wondering how much earlier did your second babies come compared to your first?

Hi, my first was born at 39+6.
dd2 had other plans, arriving at 37wks. I had my last shift at work on the sunday, she was born on the Tuesday! ML definitely wasn't as I had planned.

My first was born at 41w+4d, my son arrived bang on 40w

First son was induced as he was 10 days overdue (41+3). Second son was induced at 38 weeks due to acute SPD. I'm quite sure he would have stayed in just as long - my mum was a long gestater, too, and had to kickstart her labours, as well.

My first one was induced at 41 weeks exactly and my second one spontaneously came out on his exact due date.

mine were
ds1 41 weeks
dd1 41+3 induced
dd2 42 weeks
dd3 39+6 induced
dd4 39+3 induced
ds2 38 weeks induced
ds3 41+4
ds4 41+4

so all the natural labours were 41-42weeks-this little boy is following suit as i'll be 41weeks tomorrow!
