It wasn’t true in my case, first baby came at 39+6 (no sweep) - second baby came 40+1 (after having a sweep)

Mine came at the same time (37 +5 and 37 +6) and for a friend her second was later with almost 42 weeks πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I’m 39 weeks today my first came at 39+2 so I don’t think he’s coming any earlier ! I wish it was the case though

No, I was early with my first and I’m now past my due date with my second with no symptoms of labour yet πŸ˜…

My first was 39+2 no sweep. My second was 39+5 with 3 sweeps

My first and second were both born 39+3, pregnant with third now I can’t see them coming at the same time πŸ˜‚
