Hey 👋 just wondering if the story is true on second babies coming earlier? My first was 38 weeks and I'm literally just days off 38 weeks with my second and the anticipation kills 😂 I wasn't so time focused on my first because I thought 40+ weeks for baby coming but no they come 2 weeks early

Not necessarily, every baby is on their own timeline. I would say not to get your hopes up just incase! Not long to go for you though 🩷

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 🤷🏻♀️

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
Edit - he came 1 day earlier than his brother at 39+1

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

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 😂

My first was 37+1 and my second was a week later at 38+1

My first was 36+6, second induced at 39+1. And completely agree on the time thing, it was very strange waiting second time!!

A week later for my second x

Was nearly 4w earlier with my second, had to be induced with my first x

It’s not true! My first was born at 37 weeks and then I had an elective C-section at 39 weeks with our second, I reckon my second would’ve gone over 40 weeks and I would’ve needed an induction 🥹🤣
Hi everyone
I’m having a planned C due to some health complications of my own, I’ve had the date set but it’s only 6 days before my due date. I’ve read up and it says normally it’s at least two weeks before in case baby starts to come naturally.
Just wanted to check on here and see how far in advance yours are from your due dates. Thinking I might go back and tell them I need it to be moved forward?
Thanks everyone 🥰
(And best of luck for yours!)

I've got pressure on my pelvis all the time it feels like, occasional period like cramps
Produced Colostrum already as my boobs self expressed
What do I do, already called maternity triage and to be honest the midwife who answered made me feel like I was being silly, I get its a sunday but she really didnt want to be listening to me
