    DD1-9 days late, induced
    DD2, 8 days early, membranes stripped the day before. OB thought she was doing me a favor because my due date was Xmas Eve.

    Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.

    DS1 - 10 days past due date via emergency c
    DS2 - 1 date past due date via last minute c

    DS2 was going to be a vbac attempt but on my due date I scheduled a c for a few days later. That night my water broke and I ended up opting for the c since I was not dialated at all. I did not want to labor for 24 hrs just to end with a c-section.

    DS1--4 days "late", fast home waterbirth
    DS2--evicted 18 days past his due date, pitocin induction resulting in crash c-section due to heart rate decels. Turns out he had the cord wrapped around his neck so tightly that he would have never come out vaginally.

    I voted Other -

    both DD and DS were scheduled inductions. DS was 10 days early, DD 7 days. So, roughly the same, but who knows if they hadn't been scheduled. Both were pretty well baked - didn't even need pitocin to get labor going, and had short labors with both.

    DD was 3 days late. DS was 2 days late. Technically, yes, my second baby arrived earlier than my first, but roughly at the same stage of pregnancy.
