 Topic: length of pregnancy?
Posted: 27 March 2012 at 1:34pm |
|
Just curious how many people have had similar length pregnancies with their 2nd/3rd/4th... babies?
I was induced at 40+5 with my daughter (with no sign of anything about to happen) and am wondering if it's silly getting my hopes up for an earlier delivery with this baby at 39weeks now as am having mild pains irregularly but nothing like proper contractions.

I had DS at 39 weeks 4 days and had DD at 35 weeks 5 days so nothing the same about my two's arrival times lol. Fingers crossed your mild pains turn into some pretty good ones soon!  Good luck

DS arrived at 40+6, and DD was 41+3, One thing I do know is that second babies can be pretty unpredictable, and they can come pretty quickly.

DD1 was induced at 39+4, had her at 39+6, mw think I would have gone another week or two at least if I hadnt been induced.
DD2, went into labour naturally at 41+5.
My midwife has told me to expect to be between 41-42 weeks with other pregnancies as she thinks that is my body/my babies natural gestation. We will see when we have another I guess

DS was 40+6
DD was 39 wks
Both were spontaneous
Exciting nztui, I'm hoping you might have a little baby by now?! 
I was expecting to go over with DD, I find the hardest part just not knowing! I'd happily wait until 41+3 or whatever if I knew that was going to be the day - but not having any idea just annoyed me haha
