How many weeks were you delivered your 1st and 2nd (etc.)?
I ask because I delivered DD at 35 weeks. I had a completely normal pregnancy, same as my current, but know I have a higher chance of delivering early because of having so before. I'm just a little nervous since DD had a NICU stay.

Re: XP: How many weeks when you delivered?
#1 - Went into labor on my own at 38 weeks (3 days b/4 scheduled c-sec, he was breech)
#2 - Scheduled c-sec at 39 weeks. She was happy in there. And I thought I would never make it to the scheduled day since I went into labor on my own at 38 weeks with #1...
40 weeks 9 days-induction
41 weeks-induction
Never experienced cramps or contraction with LO #1...experienced a lot with LO#2 and for sure thought I would go into labor on my own and was disappointed when I had to be induced for the second time.
#1 - I was induced at 38w 4d due to an abnormal NST. I was so not ready and the induction sucked, labor was long and awful and I had a 2nd degree tear
#2 - Went on my own at 40w 5d and it was a breeze. I progressed super fast, 20 minutes of pushing and there she was. I did have a 3rd degree tear but it was just so much easier the 2nd time
Also, I have big babies (DS was 8lb 14oz and DD was 9lbs. 7oz)
DS 3.12.08
DD 7.11.09
DD 8.01.13
DS1: Had membranes stripped at 39wk, 4d and had him at 39wk, 5d. Normal pg; vaginal delivery.
DS2: Had at 35wk, 5d via emergency c/s. Normal pg for the most part but had him early because I wasn't feeling him move. The third time I went in for this issue was the day I had him. He failed the NST, the acoustical stimulation test, and only scored a 2 out of 10 on the BPP...hence the c/s.
So my pg's were the same but different at the same time.

DD1 - delivered at 36wks
DD2 - my OB put me on p17 injections to keep me pregnant due to the early first delivery and I went to 40wks exactly.
DD1 - Delivered at 38w5d (induced for pre-e); normal vaginal delivery with 19 minutes of pushing and 2nd degree tear
DD2 - Delivered at 33w4d (placenta previa with large bleed, partial placental abruption and premature rupture of membranes); emergency c-section 45 minutes after walking into hospital
DS - went into labor at 40w exactly, delivered 40w1d. No drugs, pushed too long, was passing out between contractions and he was having heart decels so they vacuumed him out in the end. I had a 3rd degree, bordering on 4th, tear that took two hours in surgery to fix.
The only part I am really hoping not to repeat is the tear/surgery. Honestly, that was the most miserable part.
