2nd or 3rd time mommies

So quick question for those of you that have had more than one child.

Did your second come sooner? Everyone says that it can, and I asked my Ob and she said if I didn't go early with the first then I probably won't with the second. I am convinced she is coming early but I think I am just being paranoid.

FYI I measured 38wks at my 35 wk appt today.

Re: 2nd or 3rd time mommies

  • first baby 38w 2d

    second baby 37w 1d

    third baby has already been in there 1 day longer than my second was!  I actually feel pretty good but everyone keeps calling me to see if I'm in labor simply because baby #2 came earlier- it's starting to drive me a little crazy!

  • First baby at 37 w 5 d.  I was only 1-2 cm and 80% effaced when my water broke. She was born 9 hours later.

    I am 37 w 5d with this one today... I've been 3cm+ for over a week, and am 70% effaced. nothing yet! Oh, and I'm measuring 43 weeks now!

  • My first, I was 38wks and 4days.

    Second, I was 37wks 1day. 

    This one.... well, I'm 39wks on Thurs, so... lol 

    And, I was only having irregular contractions with no.1 for a day before I went into real labor, and suddenly at 5cm I stopped dilating though was in real labor. Had to be put on pit. With my 2nd, I was put on pit at 8cm even though I was progressing fine. (That stuff SUCKS)

    This one I'll just wait at home as LONG as I can even if it means having a home baby. Having a home baby scares me, but at the same time it'd be better than going to a crappy hospital and being put on pit regardless of my progress.

    My midwife says the labor is the fastest with the 2nd but they don't always come earlier

  • 1st was 35 weeks 

    2nd was 38 weeks

    3rd I am 37 weeks today and no progress at all.

     (I do take P17 shots so that might have something to do with it)  

  • My first was induced at 39w1d (I was already 4cm/80% when I went in).

    My second, I went on my own at 38w1d.

    I'm getting a bit nervous for this one. I need more than a week to tie up some loose ends!

  • No, sorry know that isnt what you were hoping to hear. 

    DS#1  37 wks

    DS#2 39 wks

    DS#3...still cooking :)

  • Well my first two were born at 37 weeks 2 days. I'm 38 weeks today so who knows when he'll make his appearance. I was convinced  I would go earlier with him, but I guess not.
  • My sister ended up being induced a week late with her second and was a few days early with her first.

    I was a week early with DS. We'll see when I go with DD. I;m already having random conrtactions and I was treated at L&D for PTL at 33wks.
