When did your second one arrive?

My dd1 was born at 41 weeks. I'm 29 weeks with dd2 and figure she will be late as well.

My mom doesn't arrive until the day before my due date so I hope it's after that :)

Both of my kids were born right around 41.5 weeks. DD was slightly later (closer to 42 weeks) and were absolutely sure of her conception date.

Ds was induced at 41.5 weeks. Who knows when he would have been born because even forcing him out was difficult!

I posted a similar thread almost a year ago!;)

DD1 was born 11 days after her due date
DD2 was born the day before her due date (nearly 10 months ago!)

And I had a hunch she would be earlier based on the way I carried her way lower down in the last couple of weeks.

With DD I went into labor 4 days late in the evening, she was born in the wee hours of the 5th day, so 5 days late.

DS was 7 days late.

I went early with both (38 weeks), but my best friend (who I was a doula for) had DS1 at 41 weeks exactly and swore DS2 would come earlier. Nope, he was born at exacty 41 weeks as well!

Yep. :) Ds1 came at 41w exactly and ds2 came at 41.5 weeks. Both were nudged on with a membrane sweeping. Not sure if it worked with ds1 since labor didn't start for 2.5 days but with ds2 I went into labor 2 hours later.

I had assumed ds2 would be late, I figured I just cooked my babies longer. I'd have been stunned if he had come before his EDD or even close to it! I was banking on that extra 2 weeks, in fact. :)

DD1 was 5 days late.
DD2 was 7 days late.
I was induced with DD3 or I assume she would have been "late" as well.
