If your 2nd or later babies gestated longer than your 1st, how much was the difference?

DS was born at 37+1, so I've been fully expecting this little one to come early. I am now at 38+4 and still waiting. If you carried later with a subsequent child than an earlier one, how much was the difference?

My first two were both 37.3, but #3 was 38.3.  I felt a week overdue...lol!

#1 39w 5d

#2 40w 4d

#3 41w 3d

#4 42w 2d

 

I am currently at 40w 1d w/ babe #5, we're awaiting to see if s/he will follow the pattern set by the other kiddos of coming 6 days later than the last child.

DD1 was born at 43+1 weeks 

DD2 at 43+6 weeks

So, only 5 days later, but at that end of the pregnancy let me tell you 5 days feels like an eternity!!

DD - 34w2d

DS1 - 39w1d

DS2 - 41w2d

 

So glad I did not have a fourth - with this trend I would have gone to 43 weeks or later!

1st: 40w

2nd: 40w4d

 

I castor oil'd both times though.  I'm ridiculously impatient.

First came at 38+4, second at 41+3. And boy, those last three weeks with #2 were loooooong. Second one comes earlier? Ha!

I went into labor on my due date with #1 and he was born the next day.  With #2, she came 11 days after my due date.

Indeed!  And don't get me started on how second labors are supposed to be shorter!!!

DS1 was born at 37 weeks exactly, so I expected my second to be a little ahead, too.  But nope :)  He was born at 40+1
