37 weeks with 2nd baby and everyone has been saying the 2nd comes earlier & faster so I’ve been a little nervous thinking he can come any day now, every Braxton hick I think is going to turn into labor but no other signs yet! My first came at 38wks & was 11 hour labor. How was your 2nd baby compared to first?

Interested in the answers 🤪 I m 5 months into second pregnancy....

My second came earlier than my first. First came at 40+4 and second came at 37+1 due to PPROM.

My second was a week or two early, but I knew she would be. She was sitting so low by the end, it felt like she was just gonna fall out 🤣
I've heard that seconds come fast, but she took almost 24 hours from the time my water broke 🤪 (my body just doesn't seem to know what to do with labor though, with both my kids labor slowed almost to a stop pretty soon after my water broke and I needed pitocin to get things moving again both times)

For me it was exactly the same. Both were 37 + 6. A friend had her second a week later then her first 🤷🏻♀️

5 days later than my first but still both early babies. Definitely faster tho I pretty much woke up in labour realised it was labour when I was going to my bed that night and got to the hospital at 5 cm dialated. I don't remember how long I was in the hospital before I had him but 2 minutes pushing time (compared to 15 with my first)

1st baby was 3 days labor, induced, and was born at 40 weeks 2 days.
2nd was 4 hours active labor in hospital, labor started the night before, and born at 38 weeks 6 days.

My first was an induction at 39 weeks, my second came naturally at 37w6d 🙂

First came naturally at 39 I was supposed to be induced but went in to the hospital for my induction already in labor. 2nd came at 36 weeks on the dot. If I have a third I hope the trend of coming earlier and earlier does not stick.

First was born in 18 hours at 39 weeks, second 2 hours at 38 weeks…with an active labour of 20 mins…lol

Both 1st and 2nd were within 3 days of their due date.

My first baby (son) came at 38+3 and my second baby (daughter) came at 37 weeks exactly. I went into spontaneous labour with both of them and they are both IVF babies

same date: 37 weeks 5 days
I was medically induced for the first and the second jsut came and labor was faster

Hopefully mine comes a lil earlier than the first cause she was about 38 + 5 and honestly she didn’t feel this heavy or active. Baby boy is so low and never stops moving. I’m currently 32 weeks, hopefully he comes around 37+6 to like 38 ish cause I’m so tired of this lol

My first came at 41+2 and I’m still currently pregnant waiting for my second to arrive at 40+4 😂

Ohh I’ve been hearing the same thing! I’m 34 weeks and my first was a 39 week induction. This time I spent my pregnancy chasing and carrying a 0-1 year old, I feel like that’s what would make the second come sooner!
Just hoping to make it to 37 weeks ❤️
