When did you deliver babies after your first?

[staceychev]

Just curious... I've heard mamas talk about how their babies are always late, or always early or whatever. My DD was born on her due date, and I'm wondering when this one will come. (I'm hoping not too early--I'm leaving work a little over 2 weeks before my due date, and would love to have that time to nest!)

[MaerynPearl]

DS was 4 days past his due date, DD was 3 days before hers. I figure this one will come a week or two before it is due... though of course it could be sooner or later... but that's what I figure.

I was induced at 41weeks 2 days with my first so I guess that isn't so telling. DS2 came at 41w2d (an hour earlier is would have been 41 and1). I'm thinking 41 would be about right for this one.

[Bokonon]

DS was born at 32w2d by c-section due to severe preeclampsia; DD was born at 34w1d...severe preeclampsia. I always wonder when they would have come on their own!

My second was born a week after my first at 41 weeks...

[earthmama369]

DD was born at 38.5 weeks, then DS was born 19 months later at exactly 41 weeks (on his own, no induction).

[MacKinnon]

DD was born at 41w4d, or 11 days past due date based on LMP, but only 2 days late based on her U/S indicated due date. DS was born on his due date, as indicated by an early U/S. I have since started temping, and I think DD was so "late" because I ovulate late in my cycles. By LMP, I would be 6 days further along in this pregnancy than I am based on ovulation. So, I'm expecting this one to arrive very near his/her due date.

Ds1 was born at 41w3d and DS2 was born 40w5d...I'm thinking this one will come even later than DS2...just a hunch

[jillmamma]

First came on his own at 37w exactly, but I was getting preeclampsia, so that may have factored in.
Second came at 39w exactly, body was dilated to 3cm a few days before, and I believe the barometric pressure change from Hurricane Katrina may have jump started labor.
Third....I am at 38w and counting now...we'll see!

#1 was 40 wks 4 days (almost 5 days)
#2 was 40 wks 4 days
#3 was 40 wks 6 days

I'm assumming that this one will be similar.

#1 was born on her EDD
#2 was 12 days past EDD
#3 and #4 were 8 days past EDD
#5 was 7 days past EDD
#6 was 13 days past EDD

[MamaMelis]

Both of mine came at exactly 39w 3 days

[Mandynee22]

1 was 9 days late
2 was 3 days early
So... IDK when 3 will be

[Juvysen]

My first was 9 days past the due date (and induced from nothing). Ds was 2 days past his. I'm wondering if this one will be 7 days earlier than that! LOL Time will tell.

[Lilcrunchie]

We conceived DS via IUI so dates were pretty certain. He was born at 39w1d, and I contracted for a few weeks before that and was dilated 2-3 cm for a few weeks.

DD was born at 40w2d (just barely, was born just after midnight). I went to a birth art show on her EDD hoping to trigger labor vibes with all of that good birthing energy LOL. I consented to a cervical check on her EDD just to get an idea and I was like fingertip dilated.

I have no idea what to expect with this one. ( I likely would decline all cervical checks anyway this time knowing that it isn't predictive and sure wasn't for my other two!)

[jessiemom]

All my kids were "late", but none were induced.

DD1 41w 2d
DS 41w 3d
DD2 40w 1d
DD3 40w 6d

I am expecting #5 now and figure I will go past my due date with this one as well.

[lisalulu]

#1 was one week late
#2 was 13 days late.

[mclisa]

Mine have all been at least 7 days late. Several were 12.

[Marlet]

DD1: 41 weeks and a couple days
DD2: 40 weeks 3 days
DD3: (my anomaly ) 36 weeks 3 days

[at_the_hip]

Mine average out to about a week after my due date...so I figure around that time...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't believe it if I went into labor before or near my due date, LOL!!

dd1: 9 days after
dd2: 6 days after
dd3: 13 days after (!)
dd4: 7 days after
