Did all of your babies gestate the same number of weeks?

Title says it all.

My 1st was 4 days late, 2nd was induced 9 days early so she doesn't count, and 3rd was right on time. I'm wondering what are the chance I could have this baby at 38 weeks? Of course this would only be my desire if he's meant to come at that time, I don't want a preemie, kwim?

Dare I dream that I've only got 3 weeks left? I can't wait to meet this little man!

#1 was 38 weeks, #2& #3 were very close to 40 weeks (I think one of them was right on the due date and the other 2-3 days early or late) and #4 was 36 weeks + 5 days.

All of my kids have been full term, they just haven't all taken the same amount of time to cook. Of course my dates could have been off for 1-3 and my menstrual cycles might well have shortened in preparation for menopause so that ds2 cooked faster, I just don't know.

There really hasn't been much in the way of noticeable differences in the maturity of any of my kids, although I'm holding my breath to see if Jaundice is worse for ds2 and yesterday I thought he might have been a bit more sensitive to changes in position and "jostling" than the others were, but he sure has taken nicely to his sling so now I think it's just that my memory isn't all that good after the 16 year gap between my two beautiful Capricorn boys.

Not mine! This little one broke her brother's gestational length today I am 38 weeks and 1 day, and ds was born at 1:51 AM this day in my pregnancy with him.

How much longer she's going to bake is yet to be determined!

Induced with dd #1 at 40 weeks + 2 days (stupid, I know, but I have since learned the error of my ways since I had a section with her)

Dd #2: 41 weeks + 2 days VBAC!

DS: yet to be determined, but I swear, if I'm late with him, I'll kill someone. I am so ready for him to be here!!!!!

#2-39w

I lost my mucous plug today, so maybe this one will break the pattern.

Not even close!
dd1 -- 36 weeks
dd2 -- 41 weeks and 5 days
dd3 -- Somewhere between 40 weeks and 3 days and 41 weeks (not completely sure of dates)

All 3 were spontaneous labors, so this one will probably show up somewhere between today and the end of Feb, but I'm hoping for sooner rather than later.

Our DD went to about 39 or 40 weeks, and DS1 was about 40 6/7 and DS2 was 41 5/7.

Nope, another wide gap.
1: 43+5 weeks. There's some discrepancy about his dates, but that coincides with the most likely time for a pill accident and the latest of the u/s dates was the 5th November- so he was definitely overdone.
2: 24 weeks (doesn't really count.)
3: 37+5 weeks.
4: 42 weeks.
I'm 38+2 now and contracting gently, firmly and regularly, but I know my body can keep this up for days, so all bets are off.

According to the dates that I had DD was born on her due date and DS was born 9 days postdate. This time I am not confident in the dates that I have because I wasn't temping and I couldn't tell when I was actually O'ing so I could've conceived late or early during my cycles, and I was having super short cycles (at least for me) while I was ttc. So really the midwife and I have decided the baby could come as early as sometime in January or mid/late February and I just picked a date in teh middle for my own benefit

Not close at all, really:

#1 ... 39w1d
#2 ... 38w3d
#3 ... 41w4d

After the first two, I was honestly expecting #3 to come around 37-38 weeks, but she had other plans!
