STM+ question

izziebee · October 2012

For you STM+ out there that went early the first time, were you early for the second, third etc time as well? I know everyone is different but I'm curious as to if there were a pattern or not. I was 4 days early with DS1 and I'm now 6 days from my due date with DS2 and I really really want him to come early so I'm reaching for any sort of hope at this point. I had planned to work right up until he was born but I'm not sure I can go back physically or mentally. On Friday I had to leave early b/c I had a major panic attack and couldn't stop crying and now I'm afraid of that happening again. I'm not normally someone who succumbs to pressure or anything like that this is all overwhelming to me right now. I just fear that if I go out now, then I'll end up 2 weeks late and having wasted 3 weeks of leave sitting at home with no baby!

thanks so much in advance!

With DS, I was 4 days early. With DD, she came on her due date.

Ds1 came at 36w1d. Ds2 came at 32w3d. Both complicated pregnancies, the second moreso than the first.

DD 1 came on her due date, DD2 came 4 days before.

DS1 came at 38 weeks exactly; DS2 came at 41 weeks 3 days. Those last 3.5 weeks almost killed me the second time around because I was totally expecting to go early again.
