I think your body is just remembering what to do. The more pg'cies you have the more likely you are to go into "false labour" - which is very frustrating!!

As for history, I think it usually does but not always. My girls were 2 days early, 1 day early, on the day... LOL - so all full term.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:58:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482412&title=im-just-curious#482412 <![CDATA[I’m just curious... : I had lots of pains and things...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482382&title=im-just-curious#482382 Author: LeahandJoel

I had lots of pains and things with Joel that I never had with Leah, and most of my friends having number 2 at the moment say the same thing.

Leah was nearly 4 weeks early and Joel was 10 days early. With Leah spent time in and out of special care and was in hospital for 6 days, partly CS and partly her in special care, with Joel I was home in under 24hrs of delivery despite having a forceps del.

My MW said every time is different and she recently had a lady having her 3rd baby, the first 2 were 37 weeks and this last one was nearly 2 weeks late.

Good luck, i'm sure everything will be fine.

no reason really, the first time around i was induced because of high blood pressure 10 days latre and because i was already in hospital being monitored i kind of feel like i don't know the early signs of labor...everything was pretty much hard and fast with Lycan....

This time i feel different and im experiencing things i never did the first time around....i've started getting BH's and i get sore below feels like my vjayjay is turning inside out among other things that i've noticed all which i never had the first time around.

My mum was (I think) 15 days over with my sister, and I came 2 days early, so no correlation there.

Yep 37 weeks is considered full term but only when you go off LMP, not always when you go off scan dates as they are more accurate. They will not induce you until you are over unless there is a medical need, and even then it depends how busy they are (sad but true hence why I will not have another new years baby - m/w wanted him out but the hospital was understaffed and therefore I had a difficult labour and Jack wasn't as healthy as he should have been).

I hope all is OK - like someone else said, is there a reason you're so anxious?]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:43:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482190&title=im-just-curious#482190 <![CDATA[I’m just curious... : Hey Deez My mw said having baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482183&title=im-just-curious#482183 Author: VannesaD

Hey Deez
My mw said having baby any earlier than 36 weeks is considered pre-term and therefore a premature baby. But as everyone has already said - babies have a good survival rate from 24 weeks onwards these days (just extra hospital time is required).

I've also been told that previous pregnancies don't really count for much as far as baby coming early or late as every pregnancy is different. The only time they look carefully at you is if you had any complications in your previous pregnancy and/or birth and they'll watch for the same this time around.

Also depending on age will depend on what your mw will suggest. Doctors et al don't like ladies older than 37 yrs going beyond 38 weeks for fear of stillbirths.

Other than that - these little bubbas will come when they're ready.

I'd love for this baby (#2) to come early. ]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:30:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482183&title=im-just-curious#482183 <![CDATA[I’m just curious... : The earliest I have heard of a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482156&title=im-just-curious#482156 Author: mummy_becks

The earliest I have heard of a baby coming and surviving is 24 odd weeks (I think that was when Kelly KH25 had Ashleigh). As you are almost 32 weeks that is really good, heaps of a chance of her being in neo nates for a few weeks only. Maybe being on O2 for a bit too. 37 weeks is considered fullterm but even them they spend time in neo nates sometimes.

I would have a chat to your MW about your concerns.

Baby's survive from 24ish weeks these days. Heaps more viable at 28 weeks and 37 weeks is considered full term. At 31 weeks you'd be looking at a long stay in hopsital, but probably with a wee fighter on your hands.

I think that there is little correlation between one baby and the next in terms of if they are on time, a little early or a little late.

Is there something in particular that is making you anxious? Have you discussed with your midwife? Hope all is ok!

I'm now 31 weeks and as i count down to my due date i'm wondering if i will have baby early, on time or late. .....I think im just getting anxious and running 101 things through my mind which probably isn't the best.

I was 10 days late with my son and more relaxed but this time around everything is different and i just have a different feeling about this one......

Going off my first pregnancy is it more likely that i will go over due again or does history count for nothing..... And how early is to early to have baby???????]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:47:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20633&PID=482098&title=im-just-curious#482098
