mom of 2+...early delivery?

rylee1 · May 2011

My son came exactly two weeks early and I was just wondering how many people delivered their 2nd child early as well. Two weeks early was so nice and I'm terrified I'll go past my due date this time!! TIA!

Technically 37 weeks is full term, it's rare for someone to have their baby on their exact due date. I would say you weren't tech. early, you were full term.

I have 4 children...DS#1 was born 1 1/2 weeks before EDD, DD#1 was born 4 days after EDD, DD#2 was born 1 week before EDD and DS#2 was born 1 1/2 week before EDD. They have there own clock, you never know when you'll deliver.

My first was the day before his due date. Number 2 was a week and a half late!

41 weeks 3 days for #1

39 weeks for a scheduled csection for #2....dr. said I was not going to go before my due date if I didn't have a section...so no for me.

Not always...

DS#1 was 6 weeks early (very short hospital stay but still not fun)

DD was here 38 weeks

DS#2 was here 5 weeks early and was on a ventilator for a couple days and 10 days total in the NICU

#1 was born three weeks early, #2 was almost a week late, and #3 came on her due date. Every baby is different.

#1: 41w6d (induced)

#2: 41w5d (spontaneous)

Both DS and DD were two weeks early.

My water broke at 37w4d with DD1 and contractions started on their on at 36w4d with DD2. Even though she was so close to 37 weeks, and she was 7lbs6oz at birth, she spent 4 days in the NICU and I had to go home without her.

I posted this exact thread before I delivered. I wanted to know if I'd be lucky and have my girl around 37 weeks because I had my first then.

Knowing now that her lungs weren't ready even so close to 37 weeks, I'd hands down rather go to my due date. 37 weeks may be "full term" but not every baby is ready at 37.
