Daniel was apparently a week early and had none. Everyone commented that he looked overdue.

Vernix is also a genetic thing. Some bubbas start "loosing" it earlier than others.]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:49:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474651&title=vernix#474651 <![CDATA[Vernix : Daizy that is so unbelivably cute!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474629&title=vernix#474629 Author: kathyandbub

Maddi was 3 days over due and was covered in it! It took us about a week to wash it off ( she had the softest skin after that though)
Keira still goes on about, when Maddi was in hospital she was playting with playing with playdough and got it all over her face "that was silly wasn't it" ]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:00:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474435&title=vernix#474435 <![CDATA[Vernix : My son was five days late by scan...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474420&title=vernix#474420 Author: first

My son was five days late by scan date and two weeks late by our dating from LMP. When he arrive he had no vernix and was/is super peely and all the mw's present said he was at least two weeks late. ]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:51:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474420&title=vernix#474420 <![CDATA[Vernix : From 20 weeks the baby gets covered...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474305&title=vernix#474305 Author: AandCsmum

From 20 weeks the baby gets covered in vernix (the white stuff) to protect the skin in the womb. Usually by the due date most of it's worn off, so theoritically an early baby will have more than a late baby.

Alia had none on her, I have photo's of her "flying" out & the ones on my chest immediately after & she's definitely got nothing on her, but according to what dates we were going with she was 10 days early.

I'm going to be crossing my legs & holding this baby in until it's due date ]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:09:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474305&title=vernix#474305 <![CDATA[Vernix : james was over due by 10 daysand...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474295&title=vernix#474295 Author: james

Call me silly, but what's the link between early/overdue babies and vernix?

Hannah was a day early (according to LMP and 12 week scan) and had quite a lot on her back and tummy, not much everywhere else.

Thanks everyone...

I am crossing fingers that I go over due as if I go early I run the risk of having bubs on the MIL's birthday & that would be the worst thing ever.

This time we are bang on with dates, cycle lengths & BD dates....so it will be interesting to see what happens this time.]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:50:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474185&title=vernix#474185 <![CDATA[Vernix : Lauren was over 2 weeks early...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474177&title=vernix#474177 Author: peachy

Lauren was over 2 weeks early and was covered in it!

Mine were all early (10 days, 3 1/2 weeks and 8 days) and all covered in vernix.

Jack was 1 day early and was covered in it. I had no idea about dates either so we just took the scan date.

Caprece was 3 days early (but I'd say more like on time because how long my cycles were) and she had very little.]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:43:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474108&title=vernix#474108 <![CDATA[Vernix : Isla was 5 days late - I was 100%...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474085&title=vernix#474085 Author: Kellz

I've had 3 babies......first one I was induced nearly 2 weeks early, 2nd one was 4 days overdue, and 3rd I was induced the day after she was due......all had no vernix or very very little that it was not noticable at all.
Also remember that scans do have their margin of error.]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:17:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474044&title=vernix#474044 <![CDATA[Vernix : My boy was 2 days early (EDD worked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20344&PID=474040&title=vernix#474040 Author: arohanui

I am trying to figure out if I will go over or under my due date for my second baby.

My first baby was an accident. ...so our dates were very estimated, I really didn't know when we'd concieved or let alone the correct dates of my LMP

At the "20 week" scan they scanned me as being more like 21 weeks but they said stick with your current dates.

She was born supposedly 10 days early & she had NO vernix on her.

I always wondered if I went over due, I have tried many times to try & figure it out & she could have been easily 10 days late in my figurings.

So if your baby was on time, early or late, how much vernix did they have on them? Or is it different for each pregnancy?
