For 3u3 Mom's, did third come earlier or later?

melaniedel

For those who have 3 under 3 or close to it, did number three come sooner than the other two? I am just windering if the birth space makes a difference. My dr. said in general, it can go either way, but he means third child in general. DS1 came 40.5 and DS2 at 39 weeks. I am in no rush as we still have a ton to do, but around the same time as DS2 would be just lovely. Geesh,I have been pregnant for years. this question is purely out of curiosity. TIA!

My third was actually my latest. DD1 was born the day before her due date. DS was induced 4 days overdue (my bp was out of control), but i went in for my induction with DD2 at 8 days overdue, but she didn't actually come until the next day, by emergency c.

Oh my! Wow. Thanks for replying. I have a feeling I will be in the same boat.

I always have c-sections but was having contractions the morning off at 39.3 with DD#2 and NOTHING with DD#3 at 40.1

Yikes!

I was induced with DS and had him at 40w6d, DD1 came on her own at 41w4d, and DD came on her own on her due date.

I had my first at 39.5 weeks, second was a scheduled induction at 38w due to IUGR and #3 was 39.5 weeks also.

I have pregnant longer with each subsequent child.

DD: 35w 2d

DS1: 38w 2d

DS2: 38w 3d

Hoping this next one doesn't follow the trend.
