Sorry to say but DD was 5 days early and DS was 4 days late so they definitely didn't follow the same pattern.

DS was posterior and I wonder if that may have contributed.

Sooooooooooo......

all you 2nd and 3rd and 4th time Mums......did your 2nd bubs arrive earlier than their EDD or did you find that they followed a similar pattern to your first? i.e if your first was late/on time then the 2nd one was too?

I'm at that lovely OVER IT stage of pg lol, and don't get me wrong, obviously want my baby to turn up when she's ready to! But just curious none the less if all these hard out BH and soreness might be leading up to the real tihng a bit earlier, or if cos it's my 2nd, I just get to 'enjoy' the discomfort for a little longer

BTW- for those who were following my breech saga lol, we had a scan last week and bubs has turned...YAY . she was also well down my pelvis and looking very erm, bonny. I know the scans can be a bit out but at approx 6lb 6oz at 34 weeks, she was sitting nicely on the 95th percentile.

Gulp.
