Did your second baby arrrive earlier or later than your first?

[Bibs]

For those with more than one child, did your second one arrive earlier or later than your first? This is if you went into spontaneous labour so no inducing or elective c section.

Just curious as I went into labour with DD at 38 + 5 days with an emergency c section (breech bub) and had her within 4-5 hours of contraction starting and waters breaking by themselves. I think it was 4 days before my scheduled c section.

TIA

Does spontaneously ruptured waters but put in a drip to speed things up count?

Anyway. DS1 was 34+5 wks, fully spontaneous. DS2 was 39 wks, spontaneous ruptured waters and drip.

DD1 came at 39+3wks and DD2 came at 39+4wks, so not much difference at all.

Ds1 came at 38 weeks exactly (well same as pp, ruptured waters then sped up with drip) ds2 was 39+6! hopefully this little man doesn't follow suit and come two weeks later again!

DS 1 was on due date :smiledance:
DD was 12 days early according to them.. I'm not sure with her lol no vernix dry flakey skin..lol

well with my first waters broke spontaneously and drip to speed things up at 38+6 weeks, and my 2nd came at 41+2weeks spontaneous

[bumMum]

Both were spontaneous. First at 36 weeks so 4 weeks early. Second at 42 weeks!! So six weeks difference. I was so grumpy by the end of that pregnancy lol

[zombiekitty]

Nope, I evicted both at 40 weeks

My first was very premmie and my second was overdue... was the longest wait of my life!
