I’d love to hear what gestation they arrived 😊

First was 39+6, second was 40+2.
First was 39+4 (induced with gel but body was "ready" as well and labour started/water broke 7.5 h after induction.)
Second was 40+2 (induced at 39+6, on the 10th August with Dilapan sticks, 11th August balloon catheter, 12th August Propess hormonal insert and birth happened on the 13th August. Body didn't feel "ready" this time and I am pretty sure that if the inductions didn't happen, baby would have been born even later)
My first was 39+5 and my 2nd was 38+6
Yes. My first was 37+1 weeks and my second was 35 weeks. I dont think its a thing though. I have health issues, which is probably why.
First 39+3 second 39+1. They say second babies come earlier on average its only by about 2/3 days
First was 40+4 and second was 40+6. Don't know why but in my head I had it that the second should be quicker (not really a thing) so those last few days really dragged.
Both mine were ten days late
My 1st was 3 days late
My second was 12days late

Telling first baby about second!
Right I need some advice/opinions!
My first daughter is nearly 4 and is desperate for a “real baby” and it’s all she talks about!
Myself and her dad were actually trying for another anyway and have recently found out we are expecting number 2 (only 5 weeks)
When are we telling the first born? She has just asked me if there is a baby in my tummy as I was putting her to bed and I just answered with “maybe one day” 🤣 but not sure how long I can wait!
We originally said we would wait until 12 weeks but feel like she’s going to catch on before then as already sick and very tired!
Note to add - as soon as she finds out everyone in the supermarket will know 🤣🤣

First time mom
Heyyy ! First time mom here! Due December 9 so slowly but surely the time is coming for baby girls arrival. For the moms who had babies, when did you start prepping your body for delivery? I started do my stretches and getting things ready to soften my cervix. I’m stressing out about it since her dad has been missing since I told him I was pregnant.

Bang on 40 weeks and starting to feel it🥲
Today is my due date and really thought he would come early as my daughter came on her due date. I don’t know how many times I can deep clean the house, wash my hair and attempt to shave despite being unable to see my toes😅 I am really struggling with the not knowing when it’ll happen/worrying it won’t happen naturally. I think having a 2 year old changes things massively!! Has anyone had a sweep 40 weeks and been successful🫶🏼
