Vernix

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?

My boy was 2 days early (EDD worked out from early scan at 7 weeks) and had no vernix at all. His skin was slightly dry and peeling but not too much.

Both my boys were are week early and covered in it.

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.

BTW I assumed Chiara would be early coz Maya was (gremlins were induced) but when we were induced at 38,6 my midwife said she could well have gone overdue given the state of my cervix.

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.

james was over due by 10 daysand had none and i was sure of my dates as i had a 9 week scan

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.

Daizy that is so unbelivably cute!

Piper was 2 weeks early and absolutely white with the stuff
